Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, such as you did in the article Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company. Wikipedia is not the Yellow pages. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. Ethanlu121 (talk) 21:51, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 kind of 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}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Hut 8.5 21:58, 21 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

HathawayDinwiddie (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

The intent of this account is to contribute an article about Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company similar to the articles about other construction companies like Turner, DPR, etc. We understand the reason the account was blocked is because we took the wrong approach on our content, presentation and format, which could be mistake for promotional content rather than an informative history of our company. We have revised our content and will adhere to the guidelines. Thank you for your consideration.

Decline reason:

Wikipedia does not accept shared or "company" accounts, nor usernames that give this impression. And if thinking that something like "there’s an energy in our hallways and worksites that embodies our entire team. We’re always on the hunt for ways to blend our deep experience with the most current technologies and techniques" was meant to promote your company is mistaken, then obviously your

neutral point of view. Huon (talk) 21:36, 4 August 2016 (UTC)[reply
