I mean this in the nicest of ways, but your request appears to be at odds with the purpose of Wikipedia. I'm going to start with saying right off the bat that using "Rovos Rail" as a username, especially when making edits related to the company, would not be acceptable (see also the section directly below the one linked on that page). In addition to violating copyright, your edits to the Rovos Rail article were promotional in nature, and—please correct me if I am mistaken—I get the impression that you would want to continue promotional work on the article. We can't permit that. The purpose of Wikipedia is to cultivate a neutral, reliably sourced, and comprehensive online encyclopedia. Promotional editing is detrimental to Wikipedia's objective to maintain neutrality. Below are some additional links you may find helpful:

• Wikipedia:Spam
• Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not

If you are interested in editing within the bounds of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, then your contributions would be welcomed. Cheers, Dylan620 (he/him • talk • edits) 19:00, 1 February 2024 (UTC)
