User talk:Beveritttx

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. Alexf(talk) 15:38, 3 September 2015 (UTC)


 * How do I add an entry for the Southwell Company. It is of Historical Significance and NOT for promotion or publicity. What do I need to do to get this entry on wikipedia? Please help.
 * I've converted your second request into a comment. First get a new name by reading my decline and suggesting a new name in the other template (the 'unblock-spamun' one). Then you can get advice on your proposed article. (Do please read WP:COI too, and if you are being paid to edit either as an employee or as a consultant, you should read WP:TOS as disclosure is required for paid editing. There's just been a big ruckus about a load of undisclosed paid editing.) Peridon (talk) 17:48, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Forgot to say: Please sign talk page posts with ~ which puts your sig and the time stamp on. To indent like I've done, put one or more : at the start of a paragraph. Use one more than the previous poster did. Peridon (talk) 17:50, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help Peridon, I am new to this and I was not aware of the restriction. I am trying to help the Texas Historical Commission show the manufacturer of the plaques and markers for Texas. Also, No, I am not being paid for this... Thank You SouthwellCo 17:52, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * No, you type in four ~ things, not your name - it's a code that does the stamp and sig for you... Peridon (talk) 18:12, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for your help. I have requested the simple name change. What is my next step? SouthwellCo 18:28, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
 * You're still typing your name and the date bit - just type ~ instead. Believe me, it works. OK. Start a draft version at User:Beveritttx/DRAFT. Just click that and save it. Then read WP:CORP about notability for companies, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Don't copy any text from outside Wikipedia. Even if you wrote it, it can't be used here. Avoid being promotional in tone. You have to be boringly neutral. Then, when you've got a basis for the article, let me know and I'll have a look and possibly get someone in to help. Peridon (talk) 20:01, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
