Hello, and a couple things
Hi 1928Marketing. According to our rules, each account is supposed to be controlled by just one individual person. So your username ("1928Marketing") is not good because it sounds like a department. (Even if the department is just one person, we can't know that.) You probably want something like "PhilAt1928Marketing" or something. Then if there's another person there (or you retire or whatever) he'd go with JimAt1928Marketing or whatever. Because your username happens to be against our rules, someone might come along and block it. Don't worry if that happens, it's just our rules, just use an account that sounds like one person. (If more than one person is using "PhilAt1928Marketing" (or whatever) we wouldn't know, but you shouldn't do that and please don't; it has to do with copyright rules and other stuff.)

Speaking of copyright, you can't paste copyrighted text here, such as text from a sales brochure -- even text that 1928 Jewelry owns the copyright to. Sounds odd, but there's good reason for that actually, it's complicated, see WP:COPYRIGHT if you want to get down into the details.

So write in your own words, and avoid florid phrasings such as "sought to provide exceptional value to the fashion savvy consumer" and so on. It's an encyclopedia, write like you would expect to see if you looked up Apple Computer or any company in Encyclopedia Britannica or whatever. You can say if the products are expensive or cheap and stuff like that, but do it in dry formal text please. Thanks. Herostratus (talk) 00:21, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

1928Marketing, you are invited to the Teahouse
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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 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 below this notice. Thank you.  Admr Boltz  15:24, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
