User talk:Embankmentfilms

August 2015
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)


 * Once you create a new account, go to your draft at Draft:Embankment Films and click the green button on top when it's ready to be reviewed. Note you must add independent sources that establish notability, or it will not be accepted. § FreeRangeFrog croak 17:43, 4 August 2015 (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. Max Semenik (talk) 15:10, 7 August 2015 (UTC)

Thanks Peridon - I was trying to change my username so Embankment Films is not the username - I was trying to change it to "LaurieLondon2016". Apologies if this is frustrating!

Answer to above questions: 1. Not a directory. The article will represent information on the history of Embankment and it's two heads of staff who between them are two of the biggest film distributors in the Uk, on academy award winning films. 2. Conflict of Interest. I stand to gain no benefit in editing this article, and am purely writing this as a point of interest piece. 3. Subject is notable - as mentioned above the two heads of the company have a certain prestige in the film making world.
