{{help me}} Nahid, I wonder if you could help. My first-ever article got deleted before I realized what was going on or could discuss it with anyone. While I was figuring out what happened and was trying to get any advice on this, my account became restricted, and I can only write on my talk page now. I don't think this is fair to the person completely new to Wikipedia. Is there anything else I can do to unblock my account and/or to improve the article so that it meets the guidelines? P.S. I applied for a different user name, since now I understand that this one violates the guidelines. Thanks. WebMeUp (talk) 14:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Sophie1982 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I would like to be able to edit articles about search, search engines, web development and the internet. I did not realize company names as user names were prohibited. And I thought it was OK to create a neutral article about my company, which I did, but it got deleted. Anyway, if this is prohibited, I'm not going to do it and will just use this account to improve on other articles. So, please, unblock me. Thanks. WebMeUp (talk) 07:41, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 19:36, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You're the person we least trust to write neutrally about your company. In general, editors with a conflict of interest can't see their own biases. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 01:25, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Jeremy, like I said in the user name change request, "if this is prohibited, I'm not going to do it". WebMeUp (talk) 07:35, 27 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This applies to potential competitors of your company as well; the more so, the less neutral you would be. Do you agree to not edit those articles? -- King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 09:23, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

King of Hearts, I wasn't planning to do it anyway. WebMeUp (talk) 11:41, 7 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
