Block message:

Autoblocked because your IP address was recently used by "Monetate". The reason given for Monetate's block is: " You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising service. 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 this 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}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ".

Of note: Optimizely is a related wikipedia page to Monetate-- note sure why one would be blocked and not the other, but happy to discuss.

I do currently work at Monetate but not in a capacity of marketing or promotion -- I am on the Support Team and I just want to provide basic historical information on our organization. Specific references to products/services/current events etc can be handled by other individuals without a conflict of interest

Monetate does not meet our WP:CORP notability requirements. Wikipedia isn't a company directory. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 17:55, 11 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
