its and it's
Please have a look through the Wiktionary page for "its", which explains that "its", without an apostrophe, means "belonging to it", whereas "it's", with an apostrophe, is short for "it is" or "it has". -- John of Reading (talk) 07:47, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Your user name
So far you have been editing to improve the wording of various pages, which is excellent. But your user name suggests to me that you may be thinking of using Wikipedia to acquire market share in some way. Please note that advertising through Wikipedia is not permitted. Also, a Google Search for "Acquiremarket" throws up a marketing company of the same name. Are you affiliated with that company in any way? If so, that would be a violation of Wikipedia's username policy.

You may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. -- John of Reading (talk) 07:57, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

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 instead 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 prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 12:53, 13 March 2013 (UTC)
