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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. jpgordon::==( o ) 20:54, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
Accredited female rapper expert and music industry fan. Article had insufficient information and I was clearly stating facts easily available on the world wide web about the artist.
Decline reason:
As noted, your username violates our username policy. You also appear to have significant conflict of interest. Note also that "facts available on the world wide web" do not generally meet the requirements of reliable sources that are necessary on biographies of living people (talk→ BWilkins ←track) 21:56, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
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.

Request reason:
I am a fan of an artist wanting to provide facts to her biography and a expert on female rap information. I will provide ALL reliable/verifiable sources when allowed to edit page again because ALL are facts. I can provide real interviews and information for each fact I put on the page. Also I have requested for a new username. Please consider my valid request. I do understand why you had to make the action you made and I will not do this again. I understand for me to change information wikipedia holds this standard. The word "source" as used on Wikipedia has three related meanings: the piece of work itself (the article, book), the creator of the work (the writer, journalist), and the publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press).
Decline reason:
I am declining this unblock request for essentially the same reasons that the previous one was declined. I see no request for a change of username. Likewise, your statement indicates that you will continue to edit in a manner that contravenes guidelines such as WP:COI, WP:BLP, and WP:RS. Kinu t/c 22:23, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

Request reason:
I sent a email to unblock-en-l@lists.wikimedia.org from my email (Redacted) requesting a new username if I should do it another way please tell me sorry if I did it the wrong way. I understand that I used a copyrighted photo and will not do so again. I understand the page needs to have a neutral point of view and now see how I could have made it not seem that way. I understand I can't use the word 'countless' because it "is unlikely" as noted by the person that blocked me because that states more of a biased opinion and not verified information. I read each mistake I made breaking the guidelines that I broke and will make sure not to do them again if I am unblocked. I have read each link provided including 'guide to appealing blocks' so I do not make that mistake again and will continue to read information so I won't break any guidelines as I want to do the right thing. I want to make improvements to the article such as the artist is not signed to the record label in which is displayed and solid proof is available. The wikipedia article states diamond is signed to Jive/Battery Records which is false information. In this recent interview with radio station Power 105.1 Diamond at 5:20 talks about not being apart of a record label (but on wikipedia currently it says she is). http://hiphopwired.com/2011/11/12/the-breakfast-club-interviews-diamond-video/ Also see http://www.bet.com/news/music/2011/11/17/diamond-close-to-releasing-debut-album-signing-new-deal.html indicating she is not with Battery Records/Jive anymore. Also the content associated with the artist is very outdated and reliable sources are available to be able to update the page with the appropriate information. I will do editing with careful diligence.
Decline reason:
I created a new account for you. This account remains blocked. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 18:04, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

{{unblock-un|<your proposed new name>}}; replacing "<your proposed new name>" with the new username you want to use. —Jeremy v^_^v Bori! 03:30, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
