Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Your help desk question

Once you have followed the directions for changing your username, here is the procedure to get your company's article restored to Wikipedia. It is not recommended that you do this yourself, but if you do it is absolutely required that you follow the directions at WP:PAID if you work for the company. You also would have a conflict of interest and there are directions to follow for that. You could make a request at WP:RA although people are slow to respond there. We are all volunteers and work on what we want or have time for. To qualify for an article in the first place, your company must meet these requirements. You would need to show that at least three independent reliable sources provided significant coverage of your company using a neutral point of view without being prompted to do so. Interviews and press releases do not count at this stage. If you provide the necessary information when making your request, an article can be written.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 16:26, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
