Hello, I'm Mean as custard. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions because it 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. 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 below this notice. You may simply create a new account if you wish, but if you would prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username  you may appeal this username block by adding the text  below this notice instead. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:14, 13 February 2013 (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?

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. --jpgordon:==( o ) 18:59, 13 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, I understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. In maintaining the integrity of Wikipedia, I would think that a person such as myself, who represents (as an employee and not a third party) the developer of a public interest project such as Brickell CitiCentre (the only edits I made), maintain the factual integrity of the page.
 * Yes, I have read and understand WP:COI. Since anything that I post or edit is fact based with no promotional overtones, as can be seen with the edits I made prior to being blocked.
 * Yes, I understand that a subject may be notable. I represent a publicly traded company building a $1 billion lifestyle center in downtown Miami.  The project and the company are both notable.  If I was creating a page about myself, that would absolutely warrant a red flag.

I hope this adequately answers your questions.
