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 or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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 ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

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 ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. 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.

 Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 20:16, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notability

[edit]

This might be a little late, but in answer to your question at the Teahouse... a company must meet the notability criteria for companies to be considered worthy of inclusion. This means that it has to have already received significant coverage in sources that are reliable and independent of the company.

Establishing notability automatically disqualifies any and all self-published sources, such as social media, blogs, company-authored press releases and interviews that consist mainly of the subject's own narrative. Wikipedia has no interest in what a company or its representatives want to say about themselves. We rely on the writings of third parties who have no vested interest in the company's portrayal to evaluate its suitability. Primary sources can be used for basic facts and figures, but not interpretations of facts or establishing notability.

Writing about your own company is an inherent conflict of interest, and while not prohibited outright, is highly discouraged. Please refer to Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. If you return to Wikipedia after remedying the username concern, please heed the advice above before making another attempt to write about your company. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:47, 25 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]
