Please modify your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Tuthilltown Spirits", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

Hello, WP accounts cannot be shared by multiple people so "Tuthilltown Spirits" is not a usable username. "Sally at Tuthilltown Spirits" is, "Oriolesfan76 @Tuthilltown Spirits", "Tuthilltown Spirits Bob in Accounting" would all be fine, for example. But "Tuthilltown Spirits" implies that the account may be shared by multiple employees, so is not in compliance. Please see Wikipedia:Request username changing.

Do also ensure you read WP:Conflict of interest. Though it is not 100% forbidden to write about your company, you must be excruciatinly careful not to use this space for advertising. And please do ensure any employees/friends/associates who edit for Tuthilltown do openly state their affiliation (on their Userpage, or in their Username) so that nobody is mistaken for being a "secret" advertiser. Best to be transparent about affiliations and state openly your intent to be encyclopedic and not advertising. MatthewVanitas (talk) 22:35, 5 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Further comments, format fixes

Hello, Tuthilltown Spirits. You have new messages at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/TUTHILLTOWN SPIRITS FARM DISTILLERY.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.

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. Alexf^(talk) 17:26, 15 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
