User talk:ArcticYearbook

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.

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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

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 Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text 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 below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:10, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Your addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text, or images borrowed from other websites, or printed material without a verifiable license; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 15:10, 5 October 2013 (UTC)

Your block, username, and article draft
I deleted the draft because it was a copyright violation from your website. It was also promotional. However, the subject may be notable enough for a Wikipedia article.

But first, we must address your username issue. Please read the above notice about why I blocked your account. If you want, I can unblock you so that you can create a new account. Then, I would like to know what your new username is. Then, you can recreate the article draft via WP:AFC with lots and lots of references. Write neutrally, in your own words, based on the sources, with no copy pasting from the source. Please read WP:42 and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Does this sound reasonable?

 * Okay. I will unblock your account so that you can request a username change at Changing username.


 * Just so you know, the publication is not entirely "open source". It says: "...not used for commercial purposes..." and that means you cannot copy paste to Wikipedia.


 * The logos and cover art are almost certainly copyright protected. Please wait until the article is approved via WP:AFC before uploading any images. I will help with those.


 * After you request the name change, please do not use this account. Wait for your new username to be approved.


 * Thank you for your understanding. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 14:28, 6 October 2013 (UTC)


 * You are not currently blocked; please do not use that template for general communications. As Ms. Frodesiak notes, put in a request for a new username using the instructions above, do not edit until the name is changed, then resolve the copyright status of your additions.  You can post on her talk page for further guidance.  Kuru   (talk)  23:23, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
