Request reason:

To whom it may concern, My colleague, Becky Baxter, attempted to set up an entry for the Metropolitan Film School on wikipedia. Not only was our entry disallowed on the grounds that it constituted advertising but our account has been blocked as it has been set up in the company name. I fail to understand why this has happened when many of our competitors have succeeded in doing the very same. Please see below: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Full_Sail_Real_World_Education http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Film_Academy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Film_Academy Best wishes, Jonathan Peake Marketing Director

Decline reason:

We don't necessarily have a problem with an article on the Metropolitan Film School, provided it meets WP:NOTE, but you are not permitted to create such an article. Wikipedia is not to be used for marketing (see WP:NOT) and you have a conflict of interest (WP:COI). Additionally, your account name is in violation of our username policy as it is a company name. — Yamla 15:42, 4 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
