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.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
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.
- 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}}below this message box. - 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.

Requested username:
Decline reason:
- So you are saying that I harassed you? I don't see how you came to that conclusion since I don't know you and never interacted with you before the block. You might want to reconsider that line of reasoning. Maybe read WP:NOTTHEM. Beeblebrox ( talk) 21:54, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
- Please note also that users may not remove blocking notices while still blocked, I have therefore restored the original notice. Beeblebrox ( talk) 21:58, 1 May 2010 (UTC)
Ok I read the username thing and was unaware of "Promotional usernames are used to promote a group, company, product or website on Wikipedia." and would like to say first of all this is the only username I use ever, its not promotional , and its also my name. I would rather keep this account. Sorry bout the harras thing, I was frustrated due to I created a user page and that was delete like 20 seconds after I took a break from it. Then out of no where my userpage got the same thing.
- There's a problem with your assertion that it is not a promotional username. You see, administrators can also see your deleted contributions. On 24 April you created the page "Pedhen" which consisted of the following content: "Pehden, better no as the owner of www.pehden.net, pehden does pc repair via remote desktop and home visits if needed. for more info visit www.pehden.net." That is blatant advertising and your name, be it your real name or not, is also the name of the website you were attempting to promote. As long as you continue to categorically deny this plain and obvious fact, it is unlikely any administrator would be willing to unblock you. Beeblebrox ( talk) 17:19, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
I do beleave I edited that after i put that there, when I read it over after I saved it I tried to change it then got the deletion thing.
Ok i read the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SPAM and see why it was deleted as spam and advertizing, I know if you search for websites on here you would get a page on here about that site, well thats what i was trying to do but I couldnt think of how to do it, I would like to continue to edit other things on here and be unblocked, I now understand what not to put on here, and is there any thing on here for making a legit page bassing on another website or prooduct.Like this page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia
