User talk:EagleCommunications2018

August 2018
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Bishonen &#124; talk 18:09, 20 August 2018 (UTC)


 * The problems are laid out quite clearly in the message above: your username doesn't meet our standards, and the "draft" you wrote up on your user page was overly promotional and didn't cite reliable sources. We're not the Yellow Pages. Drmies (talk) 18:21, 20 August 2018 (UTC)


 * That one is written up much more neutrally, and has references to what appear to be reliable sources. In general, the guidelines for notability are at WP:GNG. Typically newspapers are notable esp. if they're older, and have generated coverage about themselves. A (new) cable provider/etc. in a relatively small market is not likely to have generated that kind of coverage. This is something but it's a regional thing, and this is the kind of minor local event that, as you know, always gets written up in jubilant tones in the local paper. Notability requires more in-depth and less regional coverage. Drmies (talk) 18:47, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

You seem to have a common misconception about what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is not a forum like social media to merely tell about a business. This is an encyclopedia. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia has no interest in what an article subject(be it a person or business) wants to say about itself. Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources state about a subject, that indicates how it is notable as Wikipedia defines it. Businesses must meet the notability guidelines written at WP:ORG. If you have any questions, please ask(which you can do as a standard comment without the formatting of an unblock request). 331dot (talk) 19:20, 20 August 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for your time and prompt responses. I will ask a third party to attempt to get an entry about our organization on Wikipedia. Again, Facebook has implemented policies attempting to verify legitimate news sources and Wikipedia appears to be the backbone of that. Think we're trying to do the same thing, I was simply ham-handed about it, apparently :-)
 * OK, I explained to you, above, what the kind of thing is that one needs to do to get written up. What you cover or don't cover is completely irrelevant; you can donate all your profits to a good cause, and be completely CO2-neutral, it's irrelevant. The only thing that matters is whether secondary sources have discussed your company in depth. You can ask a "third party", but I'll give you a word of advice: a. they won't be able to write an article and make it stay unless there are those secondary sources, and b. you better pay them properly, since everyone is already sucking the life out of writers. Plus, they'll have to disclose that they are paid editors, and if they don't that's just more problem for your article, etc. Good luck: I have tried to help you as much as I could, but you couldn't even come up with a username that meets our requirements.
