Request reason:
read below
Decline reason:
I don't see any coherant request for an unblock. Additionally, this account should probably not be unblocked, as our Username policy (see WP:UN) does not usually allow for usernames which match that of a real-world company, especially when the username has been used to edit articles about that company.— Jayron32. talk. contribs 04:10, 14 December 2008 (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.

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, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See WP: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.
- What can I do now?
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:
- 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.

enjoy the late night 'spam' below from when I noticed this..... please note that neither I nor Infination Technology, an IT Integrator and Security firm, Business and Security Analyst and Consultant for 16 years, is anywhere near a spammer. I send spammers to jail. It is a facet of my job.
Infination ( talk) 08:12, 12 December 2008 (UTC)kevin@infination.com I did not know the policy, just thought wikipedia was open to use and create a profile for a company. I posted links but I AM NO SPAMMER.
I have been in IT for 16 GOOD years, have INTEGRITY, and I assume on good faith you will believe me after corresponding with me.
I just made a stupid mistake. I'm a dum dum. I've been getting my co involved in this 'web 2.0' thing and I was like hey! this co allows me to create a username/password and it has wiki style! (I've edited some aboutus.org pages, and infination.com/infination.info can be found there)
I posted blog links, and a report that I wanted read. I just don't write 32 page reports for free for them NOT TO BE READ. I apologize for not knowing the policy.
http://www.infination.com/IT_Reality_Check_Nov_2008.html
And yes, I am a company, and yes, I suppose my contact information on many external links would obviously violate your policy.
Thanks for the big huge forwarning notice. I love GNU. I support GNU/BSD. I think GPLx is stupid, personally.
I am all for interoperability and I am not mad. I have never been BANNED for being a total idiot on an OPEN SOURCE page. I didn't even get a window and my IP address (it's on a dynamic block; i can clone my MAC address and get another one) is banned??
Please unban me, and correspond with me without using wikispeak that I am not accustomed to. I'm not going to learn your language tonight just to be removed from being read-only. Let's get on the same fricking page here. Thanks.

Hey i'm not Mr. Web 2.0, and all apologies in advance if you think this webspeak is frank and abrasive. I'm certainly not used to a company on a GNU license to be calling me a SPAMMER! sheesh. I got it. No need for YOU to get ME all pissed, because I didn't know; Lord knows if I went robotic like you guys just did on me to one of my clients, I'd lose them quick. Not that you care, not that I don't think Wikipedia is great, etc.
Please send ALL of ANY logs you have on my GOOD NAME to my company of INTEGRITY.
Infination Technology: info@infination.com wikipedia@infination.com obviously against the policy. Excuuuuuuuuse me for not reading that somewhere. 24 hours in a day--this is a huge co, very respectable name. Don't smear mine; I'm small, and FOSS I would champion if I didn't have so many users of other platforms. So please correspond with me, send me all the dirt you have on me. LOGS REQUESTED.
I would appreciate it if you read my 32 page report. Enjoy. I'm a funny guy. No more RSI from rambling on to an administrative team that I certainly hope isn't like being on EFNET and trying to get a IRC Admin to help me.
I AM NO HACKER. I have these capabilities. Look at my track record.
1997-2008 and running.
And I'm dissing Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, RSA, McAfee, etc. in that report and I partner with the first 2 b/c I have to..
I do things because I can.
I don't do things after I know they are against someone's policy.
Thanks in fricking ADVANCE.
It was so open until shut so fast before I could even be sent an e-mail? Goodness. What have I opened up here.
Pandora's box of GNU wrath. Never seen this before.
you'll have to excuse me; I've been on Internet since 1988. Sometimes I laugh at HTTP. go to archive.org and check me out.
I'm a hoot in 1992-3 on usenet too.
oh yeah.
says to be polite, i consider frank to be polite. I'm not angry; I've worked for Italians for too long.
I own my company and we're in a WW2 recession, and one of the largest most respected GNU licenced companies out there just totally dissed me.
Gen X'er here. If you're 25 don't go 'emo'.
If you're a Boomer Yuppie don't get pissed.
George Carlin is dead and sometimes I fill in!

No Hungarian eggs were harmed in the writing of this (hopefully taken lightly) response to calling me a spammer. I can't stand big biz practice. Don't use free software as muscle. Everything that starts good ends bad in this world; don't upset me so soon! I've enjoyed your website.

A tag has been placed on User:Infination, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add on the top of
User:Infination and leave a note on [[Talk:User:Infination|the article's talk page]] explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any
