User talk:GapIncCommunications

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "GapIncCommunications", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Neil N  talk to me 16:20, 21 October 2015 (UTC)

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. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:04, 21 October 2015 (UTC)


 * I was about to warn you about the above. Please don't take it as unfriendliness, Wikipedia just isn't set up to have company / group accounts. You are free to create a personal account under an alias that will remain anonymous to everybody but high-level administrators (who will in turn know your IP address and any email or other account details). Wikipedia tends to discourage direct editing by PR firms and company representatives in order to avoid conflicts of interest and gaming of articles, and also because PR-speak and encyclopedic writing tone are mutually exclusive. Nevertheless completing simple factual information as you have done should be just fine, as long as you understand sourcing rules for any statement that needs verification (needs to be third party independent reliable sources like newspapers and books: company websites and company literature are appropriate only for uncontroversial things or as a demonstration of company's own statements). If you run into any inaccuracies, unfair statements, or other things where a conflict of interest would be a problem, please feel free to message editors directly who are active on the article and/or post requests on the article talk page. Most people on Wikipedia would be glad to help make these articles as accurate and helpful as they can. Thanks, - Wikidemon (talk) 17:12, 21 October 2015 (UTC)
