There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

Lowell1988 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

As a person who is part of the community in Lowell, Massachusetts where there is an organization named Enterprise Bank it is confusing since there are several other Enterprise Bank pages already established on Wikipedia that are not affiliated with the one I know of and am familiar with in Lowell, MA. I would like to add a page to describe the organization local to us which shares the same name as several other pages you have listed on Wikipedia in order to differentiate that our Lowell MA "Enterprise Bank" also known as Enterprise Bancorp, Inc. is its own separate entity. In this case, this is not an intent to promote an organization rather than it is an attempt to help differentiate references to "Enterprise Bank" that is in Lowell MA as you can see via this link which lists other pages called "Enterprise Bank" to understand what I mean: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enterprise_Bank

Decline reason:

No thanks. If you wish to write about other subject areas, areas for which you clearly have no conflict of interest and wouldn't be violating WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:PROMO, let us know what those are and an administrator will consider unblocking you. Yamla (talk) 13:57, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft is sourced to nothing other than the Bank's website. Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources with significant coverage state about article subjects that meet Wikipedia's special definition of notability(in this case, the definition of a notable business). Wikipedia has no interest in what the business wants to say about itself, and primary sources like the bank's website do not establish notability. Other banks meriting articles on Wikipedia does not automatically mean that the bank you are writing about merits one too, see other stuff exists. This applies even if other banks have the same name. Do you have an affiliation with this bank? 331dot (talk) 13:50, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

Hello! I am a college student at UMass Lowell doing this as a project to learn more about internet coding and writing. I am volunteering and working with Enterprise Bank through our school's internship program. I am learning about how Wikipedia works as part of this program. Some other subject areas I would like to write about include those that tie back to our local history such as creating a Wiki about our Old Town City Hall which is a historic landmark (President Lincoln stopped here multiple times when he was alive)... I don't intend to only write about Enterprise Bank, it is just one of the places that I am familiar with through the program I am a part of for my school's internship. No one is paying me to do this.

If you are interning with this bank, you are still considered to be a paid editor even if you are not paid in money. As an intern, you are being compensated with the experience. It's probably okay for you to write about other local subjects, but part of being unblocked will likely require you to agree to refrain from writing about this bank. I will rename your account, and someone else will review your request(which I fixed so it will be properly seen) 331dot (talk) 14:28, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Lowell1988" is already taken; you will need to choose something else. No need to make a new request, simply remove "Lowell1988" from your existing open request and replace it with your new choice. 331dot (talk) 14:30, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I am new to this and thought it would be a great project to learn from since our school partners with many organizations including Enterprise Bank. I will start writing about the other topic areas that tie back to our community (not just the bank) and am happy to learn from you and this experience.— Preceding unsigned comment added by EnterpriseBanking (talk • contribs)
