Welcome to Wikipedia, and thank you for your contributions. One of the core policies of Wikipedia is that articles should always be written from a neutral point of view. Please remember to observe our core policies. Your changes make the section read like an advertisement. That should be avoided. Thank you. --Onorem ♠Dil 21:31, 2 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group or company.

There are two issues with this:

You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
Your account cannot represent a group of people, as your username suggests. There must be a single person responsible for the edits made under a single account. To resolve this problem, you should change your username to one that represents you individually.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message. Thanks.

The easiest way for you to deal with this would be to just go ahead and create a new account in whatever name you wish. There are only half a dozen undeleted edits on the Sears account so it's probably not worth you going through the hassle of a rename just to keep that tiny edit history. Also if you create a new account you get a fresh, clean start and leave the baggage behind. If however you still want to go down the rename route then request an unblock by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} to this page and stating your intentions in the "your reason here bit".
