Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.

Request reason:

I would like to ask you to please reconsider blocking me, I was not aware of your username policy. And I apologize, I came across this website not to long ago and I think its a great source for information, I just wanted to upload some articles on the creation/evolution debate and share some information from the creationist perspective, I noticed other creation ministries are listed and I wanted to add one more some information on one that is located in florida, only as a source of information, not for promotional purposes. I would like to change my username to creation101 if possible. Thanks again for having this website and again I apologize for any confusion.

Decline reason:

Thanks, but this response from you indicates that the policy was correctly enforced. Please feel free to post a new unblock request if you have editing you want to that is not connected to promoting your organization or using Wikipedia as a stage to speak out about the creation/evolution debate.

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.

I'm reluctant to unblock you because the article you posted was indeed "for promotional purposes". It included language like the following:

"It's no secret that the lie of evolution has become a stumbling block for many on their path to salvation. CSI is called to remove this stumbling block by teaching the truth that God is our Creator, that we are made in His image, and that by Him and through Him, all things were made."

Please read WP:SOAP and WP:NPOV, and then let me know if you are willing to comply with these policies and not use Wikipedia to promote your organization or to advocate creationism (or anything else).
