Hello, I'm Justeditingtoday. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Brucepower", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.

Understood on the username, I don't know who created it but I've been tasked with making sure the facts are up-to-date on this page. I've only updated factual information that is woefully out of date (you reversed who our CEO is and the percentage our owners hold - that's not promotional). I have created a personal account and will use it in the future.


 * WP:ROLE accounts are not allowed and are subject to being blocked. If you are "tasked" with updating that page, then you have a conflict of interest and paid editing must be disclosed per WP:NOPAY. Justeditingtoday (talk) 20:17, 6 February 2017 (UTC)

OK - I've read the disclosure stuff and will create a new username and formally request the factual changes required. I'm new to Wikipedia, so thank you for your patience and understanding.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Mfield (Oi!) 23:48, 6 February 2017 (UTC)
