There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:

• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Your email

Hi received your email. The reasons as to why you were blocked are clearly outlined in the message above. You state you know of other businesses that have accounts, however even if true this is contrary to our username policy. Please read Wikipedia:Username policy#Promotional names. You also created a user page (now deleted) promoting your business, which is absolutely not allowed: see here. You'll see some instructions above detailing how to get unblocked - however if your intention is to promote your business you will not be successful. If you do intend to contribute positively to the encyclopedia please follow the unblock instructions above. Thanks. Glen 13:38, 1 July 2020 (UTC)

You are able to edit this page so it would be preferable to keep your replies here rather than emailing me so other admins can attend if I am not online. But yes you can edit under your own name, or a pseudonym as long as it doesn't represent a company or a group (per WP:USERNAME). However I'd recommend you read WP:COI as it would be unlikely you can create a page about your own company. Again if you'd like to be unblocked just post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. There's over 1000 administrators on Wikipedia so someone will attend to you. Good luck.
