Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

August 2012

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Party Booths", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or appear to be shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Pharaoh of the Wizards (talk) 04:24, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about 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.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I own and operate Party Booths and my business played a vital roll in the history of "photo booth rental"s. I'm trying to edit the wiki page "photo booth rental" to reflect that as other businesses are listed here. My company was the first DIGITAL photo booth and began offering services at least one year prior to The Traveling Photo Booth (Check the date on which our websites were created to verify this statement) yet his name and website is on this wiki page. Why do I keep getting blocked when my business was the first to offer DIGITAL photo booths AND the first business to offer nationwide photo booth rentals. Your page is inaccurate and I am trying to make it accurate for you. Please explain what I need to do.

Decline reason:

Your choice of new name still reflects your company. As to why you are being 'blocked' - we say 'reverted' - you are not referencing to reliable independent sources. Your company site is not independent. It is not a source of information, but is a business site, which is what it's for. We want references to places like magazine articles, books and so on. No blogs, forums, Facebook & Co, LinkedIn etc, or wikis. Please keep the page order here when posting. I've moved this down to where we look for new things. It makes life much easier to have things in order. Peridon (talk) 17:52, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Basically, you may KNOW that you were the first, but we cannot accept that without independent evidence. No offence intended to you. We have seen so many claims made that could not be backed up (some being totally ridiculous and others fairly convincing) that we do not accept any. Peridon (talk) 17:55, 11 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]
