Conflict of Interest Disclosure: I have a conflict of interest arising from my ownership interest in Suburban Express, Inc. As a result of my conflict of interest, I refrain from editing the Suburban Express article but (intend to once my username change has been completed) edit the Suburban Express talk section, with the goal of ensuring that false statements and bad citations do not appear in the Suburban Express article.

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, 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.
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:

section towards the bottom where I discuss my efforts to create a username compliant with wikipedia policies. My intent in registering Suburban Express President was to create a username which makes my affiliation transparent - in response to claims of sockpuppetry - following criticism that editing from an ip *.113 -- which you have now blocked -- made it unclear if one person or multiple individuals were editing. Your *assumption* that the account was created for some sort of promotional purpose has no basis in fact. It was created to continue the discussion in the administrator's noticeboard and on the Suburban Express talk page. I have promised the Administrator's noticeboard addiional information. But now I can't post i because yu have blocked the username that I created in response to criticism over use of IP AND the ip address itself.}}

Request reason:
Accept reason:
I've readily granted the unblock because it was based solely on your username and because your proposed new username (as far as I can see) is wholly without problems. Since you've been editing topics closely related to your real-life activities, you must be extremely cautious about continuing these edits; you'll have the easiest time if you simply avoid the issue altogether. Let me remind you to be extremely careful in following our policies on conflicts of interest ("WP:COI"), advertising ("WP:SPAM"), and neutral point of view ("WP:NPOV"). If you resume editing articles related to Suburban Express and if others see your actions as violations of the COI, SPAM, and NPOV policies, you'll probably be blocked again, but unlike this block that I've just removed, a block for violating these policies will likely not be removed.

"Suburban Express President" is a role, not a human being. As Rybec says, "Arri at Suburban Express" would have been okay, under what we call the "Mark at Alcoa" rule. -- Orange Mike | Talk 13:23, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
When adding links to material on external sites, as you did to
Talk:Suburban Express, please ensure that the external site is not
violating the creator's copyright. Linking to websites that display copyrighted works is acceptable as long as the website's operator has created or licensed the work. Knowingly directing others to a site that violates copyright may be considered contributory infringement. This is particularly relevant when linking to sites such as
YouTube, where due care should be taken to avoid linking to material that violates its creator's copyright. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously, and persistent violators will be
blocked from editing.
If you believe the linked site is not violating copyright with respect to the material, then you should do one of the following:
If the material is available on a different site that satisfies one of the above conditions, link to that site instead. -- Orange Mike | Talk 21:01, 27 October 2013 (UTC)

Hi, you posted on WP:AN that the article about your company contained errors and false citations. If you tell me what those errors are, I'll remove them. If there are a lot, just start with one or two obvious ones. You can post here; I'll look out for it. SlimVirgin (talk) 18:13, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
