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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
Probably not. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Request reason:
I have no idea why admin Mitchell stated I have been promoting/advertising - I have never done anything of the sort. You may see my few contributions to some Discussion pages and see that at no point do I ever advertise ANYTHING. I am at a complete loss why this statement was ever made. I request my account be unblocked
Decline reason:
No indication of response to query here in four days. — Daniel Case ( talk) 13:31, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
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.

Sorry; the template is a little misleading. I think I can explain- the problem is that your username is the name of a business- we'd love to have your continued contributions, but Wikipedia doesn't allow us to use business names as our usernames. The template's misleading, because usually, users who choose a business name as their username are using the name of their own business, for promotional reasons, but I can see that isn't the case here. - FisherQueen ( talk · contribs) 14:28, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
