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. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia.

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. Tedickey (talk) 20:53, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

How does X work?
not sure if i am doing this correctly. I apologize that my recent edits were not appropriate. I have read through the guidelines now. i was trying to give credit to Development Design Group Inc as the design architects and master planners for several of our projects. I notice the Architect of Record is listed, but Development Design Group designed the entire project and brought the Architect of Record in for the construction documentation phase. I can supply proof of DDG's role and disagree that the edit is an ad anymore than noting the construction architect. DevelopmentDesignGroup (talk) 21:10, 15 April 2010 (UTC)


 * They are not appropriate external links. Please see the external linking policy. Also, please read the business FAQ. Thanks,  Chzz  ►  21:30, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

April 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Darkwind (talk) 21:38, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. 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 or organization. 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 below this message box.
 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. -- Cirt (talk) 21:39, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

How does X work?
i was responding to an answer from a help on my talk page and got blocked. I am trying to understand why a construction architect can be noted in the text but not the master planner. is it solely because the master planner is the one making the change?

 * It is not soley because of the conflict of interest, no.


 * The specific edits would have to be considered individually. In the case of this edit, it was not an appropriate external link - it did not add to the understanding of the article, it didn't give information that could not otherwise be added with appropriate references.


 * If you manage to get unblocked with an acceptable username, then please follow the practices in WP:BESTCOI and suggest edits on the discussion page of the article(s), and let other editors discuss and decide if they are OK.  Chzz  ►  22:04, 15 April 2010 (UTC)

Question for administrator

 * Reply on your page, under their message, hopefully the editor will keep you on his watch list and see your reply.  Ron h jones (Talk) 22:21, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
