 * First things first: You are obligated to disclose your employment if you are editing as part of your job. Second, it doesn't matter if the company owns the copyright to the material, Wikipedia can't use it because, unless the copyright was explicitly specified on the page at creation, it's fully copyrighted per the Berne Convention, which is at odds with Wikipedia's content licences. Text copied from your company's website is, nine times out of ten, unsuitable for other reasons anyways. Third, "[creating] a public awareness of the existence" of a company is promotion, pure and simple. Wikipedia isn't for trying to increase brand awareness. —Jeremy v^_^v  Bori! 04:39, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
 * I forgot to add: Wikipedia usernames cannot represent companies or roles. You will need to use if you want to be unblocked. —Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 04:40, 24 September 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:GS Green Screen


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:GS Green Screen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. –Ammarpad (talk) 11:07, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

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. Alexf(talk) 12:01, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

I would add that you seem to have a common misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is. Wikipedia is not a forum to merely tell the world about a company. It is an encyclopedia, which is interested in summarizing what independent reliable sources state about a subject with in depth coverage, indicating how it is notable. Wikipedia has no interest in what a company wants to say about itself. As such, not every company merits an article here, even within the same field. Your competitors having articles does not automatically mean yours merits one too. You will need to review WP:COI and WP:PAID which you will need to formally comply with if unblocked. If you are just here to tell the world about your company, you will not be unblocked. If you want to be a general Wikipedia contributor and edit about other subjects, you will need to tell us what those are. 331dot (talk) 08:49, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
