Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages.

 * As you are obviously the same user I have made this a direct block as opposed to an autoblock. The block notice on your other account did not offer "just go create another account and try it again" as an option. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:51, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is not allowing me to create another user name because of my IP address. Any other suggestions?Candicegarcia (talk) 23:02, 20 January 2011 (UTC)

How Can I make edits to a page without being flagged as using it as a soap box? can someone contact me via email to help me?


 * This is my first time editing a wikipage. I'd really like help on how to do so, not only for this time, but for editing other pages as well and contributing to the wiki community. Please help. Thank youCandicegarcia (talk) 23:58, 20 January 2011 (UTC)
 * There's nothing I can do to help you write about Rock Software; there's no right way for you to do that. You should spend some time learning about what Wikipedia is and how it works, and then, if it's something you want to participate in, make another unblock request that's specific about the kinds of edits you'd like to make. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:11, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Here is the reason why. Chad Ochocinco is a subject that meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines, and so is the iPod Touch, but no one seems to be writing in the newspapers and magazines about Rock Software.  Creating a high-selling app is cool (congratulations!) but if no one is writing about it in independent sources, there's no way to verify any information that we could use to write an article.  When Rock Software 'makes it big,' then someone else will read about it in Wired and write the article, and you won't have to lift a finger.  In the meantime, just keep the relevant information you want your fans to know on your own web site, where you can control it.  If we let you write an article based on your firsthand knowledge, we'd also have to trust the firsthand knowledge of someone else who added 'Rock Software contains a virus that will send your credit card numbers to terrorists,' too.  Instead, we require all information to be independently verified. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 00:22, 21 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you! This is helpful. If Rock Software or some of it's clients have been published on websites such as yahoo.com or espn.com (just to name a few) how am I able to update their pages? For instance, "December 7,2010 Mike Tyson was selected to the Boxing Hall of Fame" I believe Tyson, like Chad Ochocinco, has a block on his page that limits new people, like me, from editing their page. I have to complete 10 edits before I can edit their pages... any suggestions on where to start? Candicegarcia (talk)
 * Well, I started by looking at the lists of things to do at the Community portal. Articles that are frequent targets for vandalism are restricted to experienced users, but there are lots of articles that need to be expanded, referenced, copyedited, etcetera.  It seems like you're interested in sports- there's a whole list of organized groups of users working on sport-related articles, and many of those will have their own 'to-do list' of some sort. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:00, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

I guess my next question is, if Rock Software has been mentioned in credible sources, how can we create a page with facts that isn't self promotion? If you need those sources I can email them to you Candicegarcia (talk) 01:36, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
 * Regarding your email to me, there is a sort of "Wikipedia for dummies" at WP:SIMPLE, or the even shorter WP:BRIEF. Yu will find much of what FisherQueen has already told you reflected there as well. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:03, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I thought I already explained that above: under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all avoid writing about our own businesses. That way, there's no problem with self-promotion.  You won't be writing about Rock Software, but you're welcome to volunteer to help improve articles on other subjects, if Wikipedia is something you'd like to pursue as a personal hobby.  . -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 03:25, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
