User talk:Broughtonsoftware

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. Widr (talk) 08:22, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

 * I have a few questions:
 * What is your relation to the company? It seems clear that you have a conflict of interest, but some clarification is needed.
 * Are you aware of Wikipedia's guidelines for notability of companies per WP:CORP and the policies over reliable sources? What type of sourcing do you have for the article?
 * In your statement you say that you didn't mean to make the article seem like spam, however your draft copy is full of promotional WP:BUZZWORDS and phrases like "easily and efficiently". This is considered to be very unambiguously promotional and I'm actually mildly surprised that didn't speedy this as WP:G11. Now one thing I did notice is that you took the content directly from the official website, which is considered to be a copyright violation. If you represent the company you can file a ticket to give up the content as fair use, but you would still need to re-write almost the entire article from scratch.
 * If by some chance your unblock depended on you not writing about the company, what would you write about if unblocked?
 * Would you be willing to only create articles via WP:AfC if the unblocking admin was OK with you writing about the company?
 * To be honest, I'm not really seeing where the company would pass NCORP offhand, since a search brings up little that isn't WP:PRIMARY in some form or fashion or otherwise unusable as a reliable source that could establish notability. Companies and products aren't automatically notable because they exist and it's actually quite difficult for a company or product to achieve notability on Wikipedia. I've even seen multi-million dollar companies fail notability guidelines - it's just that difficult. I'm aware that you're open to learning, but I'm just concerned that even if we did unblock you and you worked on the article, that it would just end with the article getting declined or deleted.
