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 WP: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}}
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.

Request reason:
I was listing our information on our Healthcare Organization in a Wiki format at the request of our admin who said they had a call of someone who wanted history of our organization, etc
Decline reason:
Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals, not groups or organisations; and we have strong rules against editing with a conflict of interest. Your own website is the place to tell people about your history. See the WP:FAQ/Organizations for more advice. JohnCD (talk) 19:32, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:
I believe our organizations basic information should be listed, two other hospitals in our area have articles, that is why we were trying to post one of ours. Thought I could at least have a warning, was no trying to do anything malicious, promotion, etc. Their sites are below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Providence_Hospital_%28Columbia,_South_Carolina%29 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palmetto_Health_Richland
Decline reason:
Please take a moment to read the response from the prior unblock request denial. -- Cirt (talk) 19:52, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
