Jack Morton Worldwide[edit]

I have added a "{{prod}}" template to the article Jack Morton Worldwide, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may contest the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Notice of block[edit]

This single-purpose account with a corporate conflict of interest, used almost exclusively for editing the Jack Morton Worldwide article, has been blocked indefinitely from editing for violating Wikipedia policy regarding shared accounts. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by replying here on your talk page by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}}, or email any administrator on the list of Wikipedia administrators, or email unblock-en-l@mail.wikimedia.org. — Athaenara ✉ 09:40, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Your request to be unblocked has been granted for the following reason(s):

Request for unblock accepted, on the condition that the user does not edit any articles to which he or she has any connection (specifically, but not including, Jack Morton Worldwide). Any edits that even border on a conflict of interest will result in a permanent block.

Request handled by: Chase me ladies, I'm the Cavalry (talk) 14:25, 13 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Observation

User JMorton's unblock request read as follows:

I have read the policy on blocked accounts as they pertain to corporate accounts - which talks about multiple users sharing one account and when one account contributes exclusively to one page. This means that if I contribute to other pages in Wikipedia I will add value to the overall Wikipedia community, which seems to be at the heart of the foundation - to encourage users build and contribute to several pages. Only after having my block removed can I edit other pages. Also, I can confidently say that I am the exclusive user of this account. Lastly, for editors other than Athaenara who may be reading this request, please know that my username—JMorton—is in honor of Jack Morton, who passed away in 2003. Thanks. JMorton (talk) 14:17, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

The user's statements about the use of the account were contradictory:

The username is only so close to the company name so that anyone within the company can amend the page. (23:20, 13 November 2007 UTC)
I am the sole contributor to this page. No one else on in the company knows how to login using with the JMorton name and password. (00:25, 15 November 2007 UTC)

This self-contradiction was noted in the conflict of interest noticeboard discussion. — Athaenara ✉ 08:10, 14 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
