This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:Business' FAQ and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.

Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 23:09, 13 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I require some indication or proof that I have contributed to Wikipedia inappropriately. The articles that I have edited and/or created have been entirely appropriate and have contributed positively to the community at large.

Decline reason:

the block is appropriate. We are not required to offer proof; you have only to read wikipedia policies and review your contributions. --Anthony.bradbury^"talk" 21:12, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

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 request was a follows, damned if I understand all these templates Fences&Windows 01:27, 11 June 2010 (UTC): While I understand and agree that administrators are not required to provide any proof or reasoning behind blocking my account, I have already reviewed the relevant policies and reviewed my contributions and assert that they do not satisfy any of the conditions for blocking a user account. My account is blocked "because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group." Neither of these assertions have any factual currency. I am not associated with any company or/group whose articles I have created or edited. No one has provided any evidence to the contrary. My user name refers to my first initial and last name and is similarly unrelated to any company or group whose articles I have edited or created. The articles that I have edited or created, "Katzenbach Partners" and "Meiji Restoration specifically and respectively, are not tagged by Wikipedia users or editors as invalid or under suspicion of violating Wikipedia policies in any way. While I recognize that time has passed since I edited these articles the record, upon cursory examination, will show that my contributions are substantially unaltered from their original form. It is for these reasons that I request the unblocking of my account.[reply]

Anthony.bradbury's assertion that the block is appropriate is not supported by any evidence or reference to the relevant wikipedia policies and/or my contributions. I request a fair and impartial evaluation based on some reference to actual policy violations as opposed to vague assertions of policy violations which do not reference specific evidence or record

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

On review I see no evidence that this was a role account or used for spamming. It's unusual that there was such a gap in time between the block and unblock request, but I'm assuming good faith

Request handled by: Fences&Windows

Unblocking administrator: Please check for active autoblocks on this user after accepting the unblock request.
