Requested username:

Request reason:

I am an MBA student at the Institute of Managment Technology, India(www.imt.edu) doing my internship at Vinculum Solutions Private Limited(www.vinculumgroup.com). As the company does not have a page on wikipedia, I thought of creating one for informational/reference purpose. Being a first time user, I was not aware that the company name should not be used as the user name. Request you to update my username and unblock my account.

Decline reason:

You're not going to be unblocked to write about your employer. The article you were drafting on your user page was totally un-encyclopedic - Wikipedia is an attempt to write a encyclopedia, and not a business directory. Nick-D (talk) 08:33, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

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, organization, or clients. 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, organization, or clients. 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf^(talk) 12:32, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Following your appeal on the unblock tool, I have unblocked your account to request a change of username. As indicated there, please don't make any edits related to Vinculum Solutions, and please don't make any edits until your username is changed. You can find instructions to change your username here: Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:05, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:

By mistake I had put Company's name as the user name. Please change it so that I can do further editing

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. (Martijn Hoekstra has unblocked, but not changed this notice to reflect the change, so I am doing so.) JamesBWatson (talk) 11:28, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Please note WP:COI and WP:PROMO - you're being permitted to change usernames, but NOT to continue writing the article that you were trying to create (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 11:29, 8 May 2012 (UTC)
