Request reason:

I have already asked to be unblocked and was denied, so I am asking again since I am new to the whole wikipedia editing. I thought me writing back on my talk page would be enough of a response, but apparently user Jimfbleak didn't get my response. I am hoping it works this time, and I apologize in advance if I am not communicating properly when it comes to this situation. I have already said that I would eliminate all the promoting from the article I had posted earlier on Murray Brand Communications and I will even send it in to be read (if possible) before posting again. I want to do this in the correct way and not lose my privilege as an user. I am not here to promote or advertise, just simply here to add another article based off of a company in an encyclopedic appropriate way. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. FYI I may not respond until Monday if there is any feedback because I am making this article at work and will be out of town for the weekend. My apologies if my response is late.

You will not be unblocked in order to write about your employer -- and yes, doing so is promotion regardless of the content of the article. MER-C 01:42, 11 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Requested username:

Request reason:

To whom it may concern: I was recently blocked for using advertisement on an article I wrote about a company called Murray Brand Communications and wanted to ask to be unblocked. I had thought I deleted the advertising of the company out of my article, but apparently I didn't. It was never my intentions to advertise for this company. All I wanted to do was make an article based off the company like many other articles have done on Wikipedia. I tried asking for guidance, but instead was blocked before I could actually find out what exactly I did wrong as far as advertising. I promise it won't happen again. I admit I was unclear of what was expected to make an article in a neutral tone, but I have a clear understanding of how to do one now. Thank you in advance.

The username change is not necessary, actually. We allow "<name> at <company>"-type usernames, provided the <name> is that of a person and not a department. — Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 18:03, 2 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Oh okay. If I can keep the name, then all I am asking is to be unblocked. Thanks. R.J. at Murray Brand Communications ( talk) 20:05, 2 July 2015 (UTC) Here are a few key questions: reply

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Diannaa ( talk) 10:45, 3 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Yes I understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. I honestly followed a format of a different design company called Duffy & Partners, who has an article here on Wikipedia. And I was told my username is fine. It has a name with a company, which is said to be allowed. I originally just had Murray Brand Communications, but now I have a name in front of this username which was approved for change, so I am a little unclear of what you are trying to say Diannaa. It says I am blocked for my advertising and promotion of a company (which are not my intentions) and not blocked based off my username. I have already agreed to keep the promoting out of my article if I am unblocked. If there is some way I can send it for approval before posting, I would gladly do that as well. And like I said before, if I do not need to change my username from R.J. at Murray Brand Communications to R.J. at MBC (like user Jéské Couriano mentioned above) then I wish to keep the username I have. I just thought this was the process of becoming unblocked was requesting a new username as well as my reasoning. R.J. at Murray Brand Communications ( talk) 17:49, 6 July 2015 (UTC) reply

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... I would like to create a page about a company I am currently working at called Murray Brand Communications. I felt that I left the point of view neutral. There isn't wording that expresses feelings. It's merely just about the company and it lists the type of work they do and some of their clients they have done work for. I have already put in a request to change my username and have gone to check if it's been approved but have yet to hear anything back as well. I do plan on changing the name so it is not primarily the companies name. I was unaware of the policy when I created the username in the first place. -- Murraybrandcommunication ( talk) 23:30, 24 June 2015 (UTC) reply

I don't see any username request, either current or in the archives. Also, still reads like a company advert, and inappropriate use of a userpage, per WP:UPNO and WP:UPYES. Joseph2302 ( talk) 23:35, 24 June 2015 (UTC) reply

Maybe I didn't request the username correctly, but I thought I did. I'd be more than happy to change it to an appropriate one though. As far as the page reading like an advertisement, is there any way you could point out more specifically what triggers that? All I am trying to do is make a wikipedia article based on Murray Brand Communications. I had looked at a different design firm called Duffy & Partners and just tried doing exactly what they did for their page. Thank you for your help! -- Murraybrandcommunication ( talk)

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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:06, 25 June 2015 (UTC) reply
