Requested username:

Request reason:

I apologize for creating a username that had to do with what I wrote about. I didn't read the directions close enough and plain and simply got confused. The DynAA is a fantastic program and is not for profit and should be known about. I do not intend to market the program, I just wanted people to know about it. I thought this would be fine, as I modeled the page after the page of a similar program (but it isn't not for profit and is marketing) the MSDNAA, who has a page. This page should purely be for people to get to know what the program is or that it is available for students to learn and schools to use to better their education. Please unblock me. I put a new username above, which I don't believe has been taken, but I am willing to use any username. Thank you for your consideration.

Decline reason:

Sorry, we may not use Wikipedia to publicize our own companies, organizations, products, and so on. It doesn't matter whether the motivation is profit or otherwise. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 00:26, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block.
