- 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, website 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, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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 Wikipedia again.
- What can I do now?
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make useful contributions here 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-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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — Malik Shabazz Talk/Stalk 18:39, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Decline reason:
Hello,
Cammie West, a fan of the comic book Prey, asked why Prey was not on Wikipedia because she'd like to share it with her friends/wanted a source for character information for her recommendations.
Actor/writer/producer Nathan Reid (creator in article), is mentioned in Jennifer Sciole's (American actress) wikipedia biography.
Talent Caldwell ( wiki attachment in article) already has a wikipedia page explaining his comic work.
I understand the reasons for which I was blocked- used website as citation (inappropriate external links). Please understand I was still deep into the editing process-I was unaware of the guidelines and thought I had free reign to add,edit,and save material in sandbox unpublished until the final submission.
Moving forward, the article will contain accurate facts,plot info, sources, and character descriptions for Prey, if unblocked, under a new username.
This was a sincere misunderstanding. Please reconsider, and thank you for your time!
