Problems with upload of File:220px-Vihr-logo.gif

Thanks for uploading File:220px-Vihr-logo.gif. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 14:05, 15 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Vienna International, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

For copyright reasons we can not allow companies to have accounts which are used by more than one person. In addition, community guidelines are that accounts should always represent individuals not groups. It is a core principal that Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view (NPOV), and allowing companies to edit their own articles is often at odds with this principal. In the spirit of keeping Wikipedia NPOV, we have a conflict of interest guideline (COI) which strongly discourages contentious editing by editors in areas where they have vested interests.

That said, we do of course in general allow individuals to register accounts for themselves, regardless of if they work for a particular organisation. Our recommendation to organisations who want accounts is that they get their representative to register a private account that does not reference the organisation, and then have the individual declare their affiliation on their account's user page. However, having a private account does not mean that our NPOV and COI guidelines can be ignored by that individual. The same basic rules apply to them as would if they were editing from a company account, in that we still strongly discourage potentially controversial editing, and encourage the editor to be transparent about their motivations.

If we deleted your page, were sorry that you have lost your work, but we would be willing to allow you to continually work on it in your userspace Wikipedia:USERSPACE to bring it up to Wikipedia's No advertising standard Wikipedia:NOTPROMOTION, we would be happy to let you do so.

Keeping all that in mind, if you still want a user account for yourself, but are having issues creating one due to the previous block, you can contact us again, letting us know your desired username (please see Wikipedia:CORPNAME for relevant restrictions on the username). Some relevant links to guidelines:

Quick and easy FAQ for businesses. I recommend you at least take a quick look over this, even if you don't look at the other two links in-depth.

Decline reason:

As all you've done is to create articles related to your employment and haven't explained how you will comply with our policies around conflicts of interest despite requests that you do so I'm declining this request and removing your talk page access to prevent further time-wasting unblock requests.

Thanks for uploading File:220px-Vihr-logo.gif. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 06:25, 30 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
