User talk:Signmanager Australia

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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use 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 Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization 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}} below this message box.
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.

Request reason:

after the intial administrators feedback I was in the process of editing the page, but wasn't able to reload the new material before being blocked

Decline reason:

I'm not 100% sure what you mean. It's not readily clear to me how this addresses the reasons (given above) that you were blocked. - Vianello (Talk) 05:30, 31 May 2010 (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.

Request reason:

I was in the process of addressing the concerns of the intial administrator and couldn't load the changed page (which had been drastically altered to meet criteria) when I discovered I was blocked. I am just requesting the opportunity to be reviewed again, as I feel I was not given enough of an opportunity to review the contents of my page

Decline reason:

This account is blocked because it has an inappropriate username, using the name of a real company. In addition, your edits are problematic because you seem to be writing about your own company, which we all agree to avoid doing as Wikipedia editors. I do not understand how your unblock request is relevant to the reasons for your block, and indeed, because of the username problem, this account cannot be unblocked to continue editing.
