Welcome!

[edit]
Although some prefer welcoming newcomers with cookies, I find fruit to be a healthier alternative.

Welcome to Wikipedia, Rollinsnews! I am Fetchcomms and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time. I just wanted to say "Hi!" and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. Don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some important pages that you might find helpful:

But don't forget to:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh, and when you post on talk pages you should always sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post (AKA your signature). If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, visit the help chat, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!  fetchcomms 22:53, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and thank you for your request at Files for Upload! The file has been uploaded. You can find it at File:2-color-vertical-rollins-logo-web-icon.jpg.

[edit]
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. CobaltBlueTony™ talk 14:42, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
