Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. 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, 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 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. See WP:FAQ/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. 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, organization, or clients. 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.

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. TN X Man 16:16, 7 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading File:AC Front page Wed Jan 18 2012.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Sreejith K ( talk) 17:05, 7 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Hello, AliGreen!

It was really helpful of you to upload File:EEFrontPage.jpg. However, in order to keep and use new images, we need to know their original source.

If you can edit the description page and add this information, that would be great. If you're not sure how or need help, please ask at the media copyright questions page and we'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks again! -- ImageTaggingBot ( talk) 18:05, 7 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Following your appeal to the Arbitration Committee, I have looked at your edits, and note that you have made neutral contributions in line with Wikipedia standards. Your name, however, does not meet our guidelines and would need to be changed here.

Though your edits have been careful and appropriate, because you do have a conflict of interest (COI), I have to remind you to strictly follow the COI guidelines. The Wikipedia community strongly discourage people from directly editing articles with which they have a conflict of interest due to problems that have occurred in the past, and which still occur. You are advised to declare any conflict of interest on the talkpage of those articles, and if in doubt about any of your edits, to discuss them first on that talkpage. If another editor changes or reverts any of your edits, and you feel that the change is not correct, seek clarification and consensus on the talkpage before going any further.

I am unblocking you today on condition you request a name change, that you do not do any other edits until your name has been changed, and that you affirm that you will abide by the COI guidelines. SilkTork ^{✔Tea time} 10:07, 9 February 2012 (UTC) reply

I have changed my username to one that does not contain a name of any company. And as I stated before, I am here to provide accurate, up to date and truthful information. AliGreen ( talk) 09:15, 15 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:EEFrontPage.jpg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 20:02, 9 February 2012 (UTC) reply

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

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.

I don't currently see a block...although there may be an autoblock. Can you post the notice you get/follow the instructions completely that you see when you try and edit? ( talk→  BWilkins  ←track) 10:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply

I have dug around for autoblocks, but still don't see any. Please remember as you continue editing that you must avoid conflict of interest situations and promotion, or else you could find yourself blocked. For example, you should not be editing articles on behalf of clients, or your own organization. ( talk→  BWilkins  ←track) 11:58, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Concur, I can't find any evidence that suggests that this user is currently blocked. AliGreen, if you attempt to edit another page (such as the sandbox or whatever) could you post the error message it gives you? This might help track down the block - or, in the alternative, might show that you can indeed edit. Good luck, UltraExactZZ ^Said ~ Did 15:51, 27 February 2012 (UTC) reply

Hi, I am now able to edit the pages. The box on my talk that says that I am blocked indefinitely misled me but it is all ok now. Thank you for your help.
