User talk:BrightwayMarketing

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. 331dot (talk) 16:29, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

That's not exactly true, see WP:COIEDIT. Re "The person who wrote the content".... are you saying that more than one person has operated this account? Re "I don't know what person not related to this company would actually take the time to write it or have the resources to write it"; that's what Wikipedia prefers; independent editors writing about subjects that meet Wikipedia notability guidelines(in this case, WP:ORG). Wikipedia is not interested in what an article subject wants to say about itself. No potential article subject is entitled to a Wikipedia article, it is based on notability. Not every business merits an article here, even within the same field. Someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 17:00, 17 May 2019 (UTC)

I still don't understand. Won't anyone who cares enough to contribute on a topic probably be directly related to the topic in some way? Wouldn't that be preferable in order to have the authority and citations to explain it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by BrightwayMarketing (talk • contribs)
 * Most Wikipedia contributors are here to work on building this collection of human knowledge for the benefit of all. Most of them pay attention to independent reliable sources for topics that interest them and seem to meet the notability criteria. We strongly discourage COI editing(though it is not totally forbidden) because it can compromise the neutral point of view we strive for. We want to summarize what others say about article subjects, not what they want to say about themselves. If you want to be a general contributor, please proceed as stated above. 331dot (talk) 20:39, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
