Advert?
I've tagged Canada Goose (clothing) as sounding like an advert. This is down to your recent edits there. I feel there is a conflict of interest, and would suggest you read WP:COI. Peridon (talk) 21:37, 17 June 2010 (UTC)
 * My apologies - some of it was there before. I still think there could by CoI, though. Peridon (talk) 21:39, 17 June 2010 (UTC)

I am the Community Manager at Canada Goose. A few months ago we attempted to update the Canada Goose entry. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada_Goose_(clothing) And because we were unaware of the specific instructions we ended up blocking ourselves as our post sound like an advert. We have now familiarized ourselves with the process and requirements about posting. We are committed to adhering to the rules & regulations and our goal is to provide only the most up-to-date info that will be useful to users of the site. By no means is this for self promotion of our brand, we would like to only provide the most current and relevant information on our brand. (CanadaGooseInc (talk) 21:58, 1 November 2010 (UTC))

Conflict of interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 69.181.249.92 (talk) 18:55, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

User name/ad block
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. Seraphimblade Talk to me 19:08, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
