Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. 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, website 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, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Request reason:

please unblock my page. I understand I made changes to the wikipedia page incorrectly yesterday. In the future I will learn how to update the content on my page correctly to ensure I have met the wikipedia guidelines.

Decline reason:

Read the big sandy box again - you've missed a major point - your name. BTW please post new things at the bottom of talk pages - it's the local custom. Peridon (talk) 20:38, 18 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]


If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I want to update the Hunter Wise wikipedia page with the correct information. Is this allowed?????????

Decline reason:

As the Founder of Wikipedia has stated, those with WP:COI should never directly edit articles they are directly involved with, they should only suggest changes on the article talkpage to try and gain WP:CONSENSUS. As your goal apparently is to violate the terms you agreed to on this private website, I unfortunately have to decline this the panda ₯’ 23:08, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
(Non-administrator observation) Hi, welcome to Wikipedia. To answer the easier of your questions: You can only request a change in username after you are unblocked.
To answer the more complicated of your questions: Yes, you technically can update the Hunter Wise page, but it is highly discouraged. Rather than editing the article directly, you should instead go to the talk page (click the "Talk" tab above the article) and propose changes there. (You can add the code {{request edit}} above a request to draw more attention.) Understand Wikipedia's rules (particularly the ones linked in the "big sandy box") and make sure your proposals follow them.

 A final note: You are encouraged to edit the Hunter Wise article directly for "uncontroversial" changes, like fixing spelling, grammar, formatting, or obvious factual errors. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 05:03, 21 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your response. I cannot click on the talk page above the article because my account is blocked.

The following edit is being requested to ensure correct and factual information is displayed about our company.

Please change the company profile to read the following:

Hunter Wise Financial Group, LLC, a FINRA and SIPC member, is a specialized investment banking firm providing superior financing, merger and acquisition, divestiture and advisory services for middle-market private businesses, as well as selected smaller, public companies. The company services all industries from its thirteen U.S. locations and one international office in Calgary, Canada. Teresa Hinojos is the current President and CCO. The company is based in Irvine, California.

Under the history section the following sentence should be removed.

“In 2012, a Hunter Wise affiliate, Hunter Wise Commodities, sought a declaratory judgment against the United States Commodities Futures Trading Commission.[12]The CFTC alleged in a civil claim that several commodities brokers, including Hunter Wise Commodities, had marketed off-exchange, retail commodities contracts.”

Hunter Wise Financial Group, LLC ARE NOT AFFILIATED WITH Hunter Wise Commodities.

We are a government regulated company. Wikipedia is violating laws by providing the public with inaccurate information.

Not done: the requested edit appears to be promotional in its tone. Please resubmit a reliable sourced request written from a neutral point of view. Also please notice that Wikipedia is not censored. Thanks. Sam Sailor Sing 04:53, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please note, by suggesting that Wikipedia is "violating laws" is darned close to a violation of WP:NLT - Wikipedia is user-edited, and is not responsible for errors caused by its users, so we are not violating any laws the panda ₯’ 23:11, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
