Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Affymetrix", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Alexf^(talk) 17:10, 10 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Affymetrix, 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) and continue editing.

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 and create the account yourself. 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:

1. 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.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. 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.

The logo image on Wikipedia is incorrect and is old.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Requested username:

Accept reason:

Since the blocking administrator chose to give you a block message that said "Your username is the only reason for this block", I am unblocking to allow a username change to your requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. However, I think it only fair to inform you that I don't regard the username as the only problem, nor even as the main one. Editing for the purpose of promotion is contrary to Wikipedia policy, and continuing to do so may lead to being blocked again.

Since you have not requested a change of username after substantially more than a month, I have re-blocked this account. If you still wish to return to editing, please post another unblock request, and explain how your future editing will differ from the promotional editing you did in the past.
