User talk:MountHerbertHotelDublin

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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, 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 Wikipedia: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}} below this message box.
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, please see how to appeal a block. TN X Man 14:13, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Decline reason:

The issue is not just your username. You also need to be aware that Wikipedia policy prohibits people from writing about subjects with which they are connected, therefore if unblocked you would be unable to make edits about the company— Jac16888 ^Talk 14:38, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Could you please unblock our account or update the name of our hotel - it changed from Mount Herbert Hotel to Sandymount Hotel in January 2010.MountHerbertHotelDublin (talk) 17:16, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

To be unblocked you need to choose a username with no relationship at all to your hotel. You will not thereafter be allowed to edit articles in which you have an interest.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 19:09, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Neither shared accounts nor accounts that violate our username policy will be unblocked. If they go get unblocked by requesting a name change and promising to limit it to one person on the account period, then they will need to understand and comply with our conflict of interest guideline. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 18:49, 24 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
