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?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. 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.

Decline reason:
- I have asked the blocking admin whether he is satisfied and is now willing to unblock. EdJohnston (talk) 19:52, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- The blocking admin, OrangeMike, responded on my talk page. It sounds to me like he will be difficult to persuade. You are more likely to be unblocked if you will propose an article you can work on which is not specifically about Mark A. Gluck or the Gluck Lab. Possibly an article on a technical subject you are familiar with. Since Gluck works on Parkinson's Disease, possibly that is one of the topics you are familiar with. If so can you look at our Parkinson's disease article and see if you can propose an improvement? Anything at all. Leave your suggestion here on your talk page. Propose something that does not add any reference to Mark Gluck's work. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 21:17, 13 September 2011 (UTC)
- Are you in fact Mark A. Gluck? --Orange Mike | Talk 13:12, 14 September 2011 (UTC)
