Requested username:

northone05 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that I was blocked for promotion and advertising for my company. I did this in error because I was not aware of the strict guidelines. I would like to take down any negative assocations with my company off of the block list because it does show up in google. I want to read the guidelines in using wikipedia before proceeding in any way. I will not personally post anything on my company in any pages as I understand it is a conflict of interest. [Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked: Any useful and accurate information I find in my travels or daily life to any topic. I personally love using wikipedia and I do not want to tarnish its use in any way.]

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. only (talk) 22:44, 7 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Your deletion request[edit]

I have removed the tag you placed at your userpage. You were unblocked so that you can put in for a username change. You cannot delete your userpage as nothing is there. You cannot delete this user talk page, as it is needed for the record. If you wish, after you register a new name, I can blank and redirect this page to your new account. Would that be okay?

Yes that should work. I think I requested my new username properly. Thank you.

Hello, Northone05, and welcome to Wikipedia!
