Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Omicronpersei8 (talk) 09:30, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
Dear Primevending.com:
Your Wikipedia account has been blocked indefinitely because its username is identical to the name of an existing company. "Group accounts" that could be shared by multiple users are not allowed; also, since usernames appear in pages' edit histories, Wikipedia cannot appear to endorse a company or product. Individual users are invited to register accounts under their own names or screen names (per Wikipedia:Username); company representation may be noted on the individual user's page, provided it does not promote the company.
Here are some basic guidelines and policies for contributing to Wikipedia:
- Please do not advertise your business; this is considered spam (also, please note restrictions on external links);
- Please avoid editing any articles about your business except in cases of obvious and undisputed errors—instead, use the article's discussion page (the "discussion" link at the top) to point out edits that you think should be made;
- Please do not create an article about your business without first reading and familiarizing yourself with notability standards and the use of original research and reliable sources.
You are encouraged to create a new account and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username, and in a constructive manner. See Wikipedia:Username for guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account. You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may edit your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you.
Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible — if this doesn't happen within an hour or so, please email an administrator and explain the situation (see the list of administrators).
If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new one, please add the following to your user talk page: {{Username change request|new username}} (or {{ucr|new username}} for short). This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. If you wish to change to a new username, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username for information. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to simply create a new account.
