Your account has been blocked 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

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
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.

Request reason:

Am definitely a wiki-rookie, but genuinely wanted to get started contributing - the World Ski and Snowboard Festival is actually referenced in a lot of other wiki-entries - often musicians or athletes who have competed/performed at the event. I reviewed the X Games entry as well as Crankworx, which was flagged for being too promotional, so got a good sense of a neutral entry for an event... so I felt pretty confident that the content meant wikipedia standards. It seems that the reason for our blocking was primarily our username... Please, can i appeal the block?

Decline reason:

I will
