User talk:ChispaTruth

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 19:24, 4 February 2014 (UTC) A tag has been placed on your user page, User:VerityContent, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. INeverCry  19:58, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

Thanks for the clarity on the three items about Wikipedia. I understand it a lot better now. I'm happy to abide by the rules and provide information in my industry without promotion but with adding facts and truthful resources to other encyclopedia entries. --VerityContent (talk) 20:27, 4 February 2014 (UTC) [[User:DanielCase

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 20:07, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

OK. I believe I understand things better now. I requested a username change and will contribute to Wikipedia as I mentioned above. --VerityContent (talk) 20:28, 4 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure if you've seen my responses below so I figured I'd add them at the top of the page in this section here. I understand about the three rules Daniel Case put on this talk page. I understand and will abide by them. I am still learning how to use this platform. Below I'm quoting the responses I mentioned previously in hopes this can get resolved as quickly as possible. I'm including more information on what I would like to contribute to the community. — Preceding unsigned comment added by VerityContent (talk • contribs)

Notes: I have unblocked, as per your assurances. Please note that this unblock probably took longer than it could have for a few reasons. First, all new messages always go at the bottom of the page, never at the top. Second, you're only permitted to have one open unblock request at a time. As you opened multiple requests, some in the middle of the page, some at the top, this situation became quite confusing. I have tried to realign accordingly. Please do not edit Wikipedia until you have submitted your formal username change request, and ensure that you do not violate what you have agreed to - promotion is unacceptable on this project D  P  10:05, 13 February 2014 (UTC)
