User talk:BesomebodyInc

June 2016
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, 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.

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 this 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 by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 19:52, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

I just signed up and am test and trying to understand how the platform works. I'm trying to write up about our company.
 * I would first read over WP:COI. This is a very big conflict of interest, and there are a number of things that you need to be aware of regarding this. Also, pease understand Wikipedia is not a platform to advertise or promote your company. RickinBaltimore (talk) 20:03, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE. --Yamla (talk) 20:18, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

I understand why. But, I'm also curious if I'm getting blocked based on the name of our company? Besomebody is the name of our company and we also own the registered mark of #besomebody. Thanks.
 * That is one of the reasons. User accounts can't be shared and shouldn't reflect the company but rather, the individual. That's not the only reason you were blocked, though, as indicated above. --Yamla (talk) 23:20, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Ok. Do I have the wrong type of account? I ask because there's a wiki page for everything, especially companies. (i.e. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoPro). Is there a "business" wikipedia?
 * What you are confused about is that the GoPro page, to pick just one example, is not written by GoPro employees. Additionally, it contains no known copyright violations and is not overtly promotional. There's no 'business wikipedia' as far as I am aware, certainly not one run by Wikimedia. --Yamla (talk) 14:01, 3 June 2016 (UTC)

Ok. Thank you Yamla.
