BVRMC

July 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 19:20, 1 July 2010 (UTC)

Decline reason:

It's been two days since the follow up question was posed; please re-post this request when you're ready to answer. Kuru (talk) 01:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Note: I removed the unblock request that you declined yourself - it would not look good to have been declined from making the same name change :-) Here's a few key questions:

• Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
• Do you understand conflict of interest?
• Do you understand that to be considered for an encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username directly matches a subject about which you are trying to create an article, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to break the 3 important questions above. (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 16:43, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
