User talk:U-blox Marketing

March 2015[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

Request reason:

Glad to comply with the username policy.

Decline reason:

Based on the IP's response below, it seems like editing with a conflict of interest will continue if this block is lifted. only (talk) 05:15, 7 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No problem with that that I can see. But:

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 15:32, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I plan to rewrite the u-blox entry[edit]

Hi Daniel, Yes, I understand that Wikipedia is not a business directory. I would like to have an entry, much as other semiconductor companies have. A good example is the page of Advanced Micro Devices. Since I have taken over the task of managing the Wikipedia page from someone who left the company, and the article was removed, I cannot judge the content of that removed article. I will comply with guidelines and policies in rewriting the article. As I have no experience writing or contributing to Wikipedia pages, I am not sure how to proceed. Is it possible for me to review the removed article? Can I submit completely revised text? I plan to write a brief introduction, basic company history, and overview of products and technologies. Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.34.89.245 (talk) 07:42, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
