User talk:Benchmark Fiduciary Services

October 2019
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   20:17, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

 * 1) We require organizations to be notable according to Wikipedia's standards of notability - existence alone is not sufficient grounds for inclusion.
 * 2) Wanting to tell the world about your existence is considered publicity, which is not allowed. Wikipedia makes no distinction between for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations in this regard. Even if your organization does good work, Wikipedia isn't here to tell the world about noble causes.
 * 3) Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization wants to say about itself. Readers expect neutral articles, written independently of their subject and sourced reliably. This is will be very difficult for you as it is an inherent conflict of interest to write about your own organization.
 * 4) Wikipedia's username policy explicitly disallows accounts to be named after organizations. You will need to select a new username that denotes you as an individual (e.g. "John at Benchmark Fudiciary") and shows that the account is not being shared amongst several people.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Benchmark Fiduciary Services/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Benchmark Fiduciary Services/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:30, 25 October 2019 (UTC)

We unfortunately will have to wait, or waste our time convincing sources for publication, in order to have Wikipedia acknowledge our existence as a wonderful non-profit. Quite a shame we have to waste time and efforts in unhelpful manners in order to have a wikipedia entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benchmark Fiduciary Services (talk • contribs)
 * If you convince sources to write about you, those would not be independent sources. Sources have to cover you on their own, without prompting. No person or entity is entitled to a Wikipedia article. Even if your company is written about in independent sources, you shouldn't be the one to write about it due to your conflict of interest.
