Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Entex", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organisation rather than an individual, see WP:CORPNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. https://www.entex.de/en/ David Biddulph (talk) 10:03, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello David Biddulph. Thanks for your quick reply. I have created the account for the company and manage it as well. An article under this user name already exists in the German Wiki. It is article Planetwalzenextruder and Entex.

de:Planetwalzenextruder would not be acceptable in the English Wikipedia as there are no cited references. Whichever account you are using on behalf of the company, you need to read about conflict of interest and about paid editing. --David Biddulph (talk) 10:25, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Your thread has been archived

Hi Entex! You created a thread called planetary roller extruder at Wikipedia:Teahouse, but it has been archived because there was no discussion for a few days. You can still find the archived discussion here. If you have any additional questions that weren't answered then, please create a new thread. Archival by Lowercase sigmabot III, notification delivery by Muninnbot, both automated accounts. You can opt out of future notifications by placing {{bots|deny=Muninnbot}} (ban this bot) or {{nobots}} (ban all bots) on your user talk page. Muninnbot (talk) 19:01, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

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 about some topic other than 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.

I do not know about the standards of German Wikipedia but here on English Wikipedia, we do not allow usernames that are company names. We do not allow editors to promote their own businesses or employers. Also, you have failed to comply with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure. This is mandatory and not negotiable.
