User talk:Housing News

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business or website listing directory, and is not for advertising or promotion of any kind. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 12:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Advice as promised
Username:You will need a new account which represents only you as an individual. The username can be your real name or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it must not be the name of a group or organization, or of another living person. There are two ways to go about this:
 * You can simply abandon this account and start a new one
 * If you want to keep your association with your existing edits, you can request an unblock in order to change username. To do that, place at the bottom of this page.

If you decide simply to register a new account, it would be helpful to leave a note of its username at the bottom of this talk page, so that anyone who comes here knows where to find you.

Notability: Wikipedia is not a business listing directory, and does not expect to have articles about every company or organization, any more than about every person, building, band... The inclusion criterion is called WP:Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:42 and WP:Notability (organizations and companies). That is quite a demanding test, and many worthy organizations cannot pass it; that is not to their discredit, but it means they are not suitable subjects for a global encyclopedia.

For other advice, see WP:FAQ/Organizations and WP:Your first article.
