Blocked

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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Because Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Using Wikipedia for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

• Add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box.
• Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

• Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
• 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 instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Wikipedia:Appealing a block for more information.

Request reason:

I am not sure what you mean to imply by blocking my page, but I have not participated in any spamming and am an individual. When I signed up for my Wikipedia account it specifically suggested that I create a username that wasn't my name or anything close to it, so instead I created a user name based on what I inteded to be my first article. Further, if you look I have been going to a few pages and trying to be helpful by removing links to pages that don't seem to exist. Perhaps this doesn't follow your requirements for useful contribution? Please advise. Also, it appears that the page I started has also been deleted though I am not sure why. MyPath (talk) 19:19, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You do have useful edits here, I will grant you that. However, your MyPath article is written very promotionally. It contains many buzzword phrases like "unlock your potential", goes into far too much detail about features and the link, and at the bottom says "For feedback or suggestions regarding MyPath, e-mail us at Contact_Us@mypath.com or register on the site and leave a message online." The "us" makes me believe that you either do have some sort of affiliation with this company, or you were copying content from their website, neither of which (particularly the latter) is acceptable. Please read our neutrality policy for more information. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 22:21, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

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.

{{unblock|orangemike, I have read and understand your concerns. I have also read the neutrality policy and believe I have a better grasp on the types of edits that would be required to make the page more appropriate. I would appreciate the opportunity to edit the article to that purpose. Also, perhaps you can clarify for me the point of the user page? I was still editing the page when my account was suspended. The article was not ready for prime time and I thought the user sub page was a safe space for me to work on the article. I had not even had a chance to put references in yet (which would address some of your concerns about the language used). Is this not the case? Does it need to be 100% even in this arena? I would like to think that the article I presented for the main page would have been more appropriate than the article you saw as grounds for suspension. From the reading I did on the user page I thought that was the case (though I did not indicate the site was under construction) and I am just trying to understand so that if my account is unblocked I don't make the same mistake again. I also think my username was a concern? I would be more than happy to change it. Perhaps to stiemgoinne? I am looking forward to your review and hope that I have addressed the concerns you might have about my intentions.}}

FYI conflict of interest guideline

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you.
