January 2013
[edit]Greetings, I spotted you over at Wikipedia:Edit filter/False positives and to put it simply i'm not sure your username meets all of the Wikipedia criteria for usernames. It seems like a promotional one. I don't know if you've had anyone else point this out to you but usernames that are promotional aren't allowed and can have you blocked. (See this). You'll have to go to WP:CHU and sort it out, unfortunately i'll have to report your username to Wikipedia:Usernames for administrator attention because your username currently breaks rules. If you do intend to change your username however I would suggest that you put in the request then leave a link to your request on this page. If you need any more help in putting in a username change request then let me know on My talk page. Good luck and happy contributing. MIVP - Allow us to be of assistance to you. (Maybe a bit of tea for thought?) 21:48, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
- 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. 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 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 will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make useful contributions 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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
