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.
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.
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:

Request reason:
I'm sorry to read about this block. I never wanted to spam and/or use Wikipedia for anything else but to give its users some reliable info. I didn't create SpeedFan's page on Wikipedia. Somebody else did that. I simply found the page and tried, as well as I could, to add some real and useful info. I can't remember of having added any link (unless I added the one to the home page, but I don't think so). I remember to have refined some other info on the S.M.A.R.T. page that somebody else added long before I edited it. Again, I didn't spam anything. I simply applied some minor edits to give the end users a correct information. I can't remember if I edited any other page, but I know for sure that I would only edit things I know very well and that would be valuable to Wikipedia users. Finally, my username: ALMICO. Its origin is from my name: ALfredo MIlani COmparetti. I've been using it since 1980 based on a suggestion made by my father. In summary: I'm sorry if I violated your rules. I never meant to do that. In practice, I'm sure I didn't spam anything, nor advertised anything. I would be glad to see my account restored. If you don't want to or are unable to, feel free to permanently disable it, but, please, do not allow anybody else to use it. If I can't sign my edits with my beloved ALMICO it wouldn't make sense to edit anything. Thank you for reading.
Decline reason:
