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.
Probably not. 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 again.
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Here are a few key questions:
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. Daniel Case ( talk) 15:15, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
Yes, I understand the rules now, and promise to follow them, thank you! I would greatly appreciate unblocking. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Enobytes ( talk • contribs)
I am a new user unaware of wikipedia rules. I tried to post what I thought was valuable contributions only to realize I was breaking rules. I would like to contribute in a meaningful way knowing what is expected. In the future, I will abide by wikipedia rules to add valuable content to wine articles. Here are my answers based on a few questions asked above:
Wikipedia is not a directory – I understand Wikipedia is not a list or repository, white or yellow pages, sales catalogs, electronic program guides, or a resource for conducting business. I will not post this sort of information to Wikipedia and abide by the policies.
Conflict of interest – I understand when advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest. I will follow these rules according to the Wikipedia policies. But I do want to clarify the four links I added to Wikipedia was to offer valuable contributions to the articles on Wikipedia. I am not paid to post these links nor was I writing about myself (this is a vintage chart that was created by a group of volunteers from a non-profit organization that simply wants to provide free available information to the public. None of its members are paid. As for self-promotion, I understand CIO often presents itself in the form of self-promotion, including advertising links, personal website links, personal or semi-personal photos. The information added to Wikipedia was a link to the Enobytes non-profit website, but it provided free material that significantly added to the quality of the article. Enobytes is not selling anything. If you look at the articles where the Enobytes vintage chart was added, other vintage charts are also listed in the “additional resources” section. The reason why I thought it was ok for me to add this chart was that I understood subject-matter experts are welcome to contribute to articles in their areas of expertise. I am a wine expert that writes for many publications, and believed this information provided valuable information to the article. If Wikipedia believes I broke the CIO because I am a volunteer for Enobytes, I understand this and will certainly abide by Wikipedia policies by not posting this information to Wikipedia.
Notability - If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article or stand-alone list. Since the vintage charts added to Wikipedia are covered significantly in reliable sources, I believed this information was appropriate for inclusion in Wikipedia. The Enobytes vintage charts are often compared to other notable sources, including Wine Spectator, and Robert Parker. If Wikipedia disagrees, I will abide by Wikipedia rules and not post information about the Enobytes charts on Wikipedia. Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.
My apology - I hit the "save page" and it looks like this request was automatically reviewed, and approved, not sure if I did something incorrectly (?) I am a novice at revising wikipedia pages. Enobytes ( talk) 19:34, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
Hi. I've unblocked you because of your responses to the questions from Bwilkins. I strongly suggest that you request a username change as soon as you can; you're not required to do it immediately, but doing it immediately will reduce the chance that you'll be re-blocked. Feel free to come to my talk page to ask any questions. Nyttend ( talk) 02:38, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
