User talk:Globalsindia

Start a discussion with me.

March 2013[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Globalsindia", 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, 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) 15:46, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

You asked to start a discussion, so we do. You say in your user page "I have permission to edit biography about Suhas Gopinath and Managing Globals ITeS Pvt Ltd and educube pages." What is so special about that? We all do. Nobody owns Wikipedia pages. What we see here are username issues as stated above, and a possibly serious conflict of interest. Do you work for the company? Are you in PR? Please understand that if you are a paid editor, problems may arise. If this account name represents a company, group or organization, it will be closed. Then there is the reported issue of sockpuppetry that needs to be addressed. Please state your case here. -- Alexf^(talk) 15:52, 13 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

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, website 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Requested username:

Albert.A1985 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand the block of my old username. and I will not create username with company name on it. I need to edit semi-protected version of Suhas Gopinath's Bio page for adding one of his video interview as a external link or Reference source.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline: no response to the questions below. Max Semenik (talk) 08:06, 22 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

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) 17:37, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment by non-administrator observer: Changing your username will also not change what I said at Talk:Suhas Gopinath about the policy on external links and the protection policy, nor will it change what Alexf (talk · contribs) said above about your "permission" to edit the article on Mr. Gopinath and others. —KuyaBriBri^Talk 18:25, 14 March 2013 (UTC) modified 18:29, 14 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
