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, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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 WP:FAQ/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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on 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.

Request reason:
I never used this account for promotions or advertising - I did try to edit erroneous information on a page about us, which I now understadn is against policy. At the moment, I am just logging in to inform an editor of an error in his changes. I'm not interested in editing.
Decline reason:
1) You have not requested a new name. 2) If you are not interested in editing, you do not need to be unblocked. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 16:36, 9 June 2016 (UTC)

Request reason:
1) I'm happy to change the username if that's necessary. 2)All I'm trying to do is post to the talk page of a user who edited in erroneous information about our organization - when I was not logged in, I could have done it, either there or saw a link to an external email I could have used. Then I logged in and I can't see any of that. Please tell me how to go about getting that information fixed then. Thank you. 72.69.170.21 (talk) 3:34 pm, Yesterday (UTC+2)
