User talk:GRM Consulting Ltd

April 2016
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, 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 this 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.  Vanjagenije  (talk)  23:05, 28 April 2016 (UTC)


 * How do you mean "I do not wish to use Wikipedia for business advertising"? You attempted to insert links to your company's web site into an article . Don't you think that is a kind of advertisement?  Vanjagenije  (talk)  15:26, 29 April 2016 (UTC)


 * Hello and thank you for such a fast reply. It is true that I have added links whilst adding information about the products we sell and also another company, which provide 'Topology Optimization' and you are correct that it could be seen as a kind of advertising.  Whilst reviewing the article  I observed that other commercial products were listed in the section 'List of software performing topology optimization,' linking to other articles on the products, which ultimately linked to their websites. I therefore thought it would be appropriate for people reviewing the article to be aware of further products, in this case ours.  I would be very grateful if you could please confirm how I can differentiate between what other commercial entities have added and what I have attempted to add so that I do not try to make edits inappropriately. 15:43, 29 April 2016 (UTC)
 * I have removed that entire section. "Others have added spam, so I should be allowed to add spam, too" is not a valid rationale. You may want to read WP:COI (and the Terms of Use to make sure you comply with the disclosure requirements inthe section on "paid editing without disclosure"). I'd strongly advise you not to add links to your own company's website or write about its products. If you think something about your company or its products should be added to a Wikipedia article, you should propose specific changes on the article's talk page and leave the implementation to uninvolved editors. If you intend to write about methods, not mentioning your company or its products at all, but rather summarizing what reliable third-party sources like academic papers or textbooks say about those methods would be the best approach.
