Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard
There is a discussion on the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard page (here) looking into whether Cinaweb has an outside connection to Bryan Cave. You are invited to add your thoughts to the discussion. -- Uzma Gamal (talk) 04:30, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended 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, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/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 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, organization, or clients. 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. SmartSE (talk) 10:03, 12 May 2012 (UTC)

Guzma:

I represent the law firm of Bryan Cave LLP. Recently the editing rights for my Wikipedia account have been removed due to frequent edits of a Wiki entry (Bryan_Cave_LLP). The edits made were attempting to correct factually inaccurate and/or sensitive materials. Some of the information appears to have been made by another employee at Bryan Cave based on the IP address recorded by the Wiki system. We have recently cautioned our staff against modifying the entry so that it contains only factual information.

We are also concerned that most of our 139 year history has been removed from the entry and the first date listed under "History" is 2004. At a glance, it appears the firm is only 8 years old and the information about the loss of offices in the middle east and the segue into the European expansion is unnecessary and outdated (for example, the Firm no longer has a presence in Milan).

Can you please work with us to restructure this listing so that it comports with the Wikipedia standards while portraying an accurate representation of the Firm's history, reach and offerings? Cinaweb (talk) 14:15, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
