De Circourt Associates (talk) 10:42, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

I would like to know how to get my article published. I believe I have satisified all requirements, but if I haven't, please let me know exactly what it is that I can do to so that I meet the right criteria. Thank you for your help. Sincerely, De Circourt Associates (talk) 10:45, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Your article about De Circourt Associates is clearly presented in order to raise awareness, or promote, the organization, which is contrary to Wikipedia policies. There is a clear conflict of interest, which is highly discouraged. Additional information has been provided in links below. Notability for organizations is established in accordance with specific criteria. You must show significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Unfortunately, the threshold for notability has not been met. Feel free to ask me if you have questions. Best regards,  Cindy  ( talk to me ) 11:26, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

In response to your feedback
See WP:Yourfirstarticle, but keep in mind that the subject of the article has to be notable, citing reliable sources. Take your time to read through the bluelinked pages. Also, you have an obvious conflict of interest, which means you should take extra care when writing the article. As it stands, the article in your sandbox is far from ready to be published; it reads more like an advertimement.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen (De Circourt Associates) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you 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 or adding links to its website.
 * 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 guidelines concerning 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. The article in question is User:De Circourt Associates/sandbox. Thank you. Best regards,  Cindy  ( talk to me ) 11:19, 18 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. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:09, 18 May 2012 (UTC)
