User talk:Htrade

Welcome

 * And we require, in our Terms of Use, that anyone - admin or otherwise - receiving money for edits must disclose it, and we have blocked admins for payola before. We also cannot delete accounts for both technical (no means exist to do so) and legal (interferes with our copyright licensing) reasons. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 18:14, 29 December 2014 (UTC)


 * A few things you may wish to learn before you continue:
 * Those articles are generally not written by the company themselves; if they tried we'd block them just as readily.
 * The existence of other articles in a similar topic area doesn't abrogate our core inclusion criteria.
 * We do not allow shared accounts.
 * We do not allow accounts to have a username that implies the above.
 * We do not practice payola here, and in fact we commonly block - or ban - users receiving money for edits or trying to pay for edits.
 * Hope this clarifies things. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 03:57, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Many thanks for your reply. I appreciate it. 1. Those articles are generally not written by the company themselves; if they tried we'd block them just as readily. Has someone else written this for Toyota Tsusho Corporation? or Toyota Tsusho itself has? Ref. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_Tsusho 2. The existence of other articles in a similar topic area doesn't abrogate our core inclusion criteria. Not relevant 3. We do not allow shared accounts. Not relevant 4. We do not allow accounts to have a username that implies the above. Not relevant 5. We do not practice payola here, and in fact we commonly block - or ban - users receiving money for edits or trying to pay for edits. This is what I believed. What proves that HTrade was paid to edit the article. It is all based on assumption that certain people can be dishonest. I only wish that you could find a sound ground to block the user.

Moreover, the irony is that Roger W. Haworth who blocked htrade has a link from Wikipedia to his personal website where he smartly describe what he was/is doing as a Professional :). May any retired computer consultant do that? Here I am talking about fairness. Nevertheless, this was a good experience; I now know that people should experience things before praising them.Htrade (talk) 05:39, 29 December 2014 (UTC)
 * In order:
 * Someone else has certainly wrote it, given the fact that page has been around since 2006 and has been edited off and on since then by various editors, both registered and unregistered as a glimpse of the history shows.
 * My response here was relevant, as you were implying that we should allow an article on HTrade solely because Lansing Trading Group had one.
 * Your unblock request above (I've converted your newer one to a standard reply, as you're allowed only one unblock request open at a time) uses "we", implying you are speaking as part of a group or on behalf of the organization, which is the very definition of a shared account.
 * As it sits, your username is indeed unacceptable because it implies the account is being shared by employees of the company. Use for your next unblock request, replacing the parts in angle braces as necessary.
 * My comment about payola was made because you yourself implied that Lansing Trading Group paid for an article.
 * Note that whatever admin reviews your block won't be impressed at all by the answers you gave above, as they show a complete ignorance of what Wikipedia actually is and just reinforce the impression that the sole reason you're editing is for SEO purposes for HTrade (I'm not accusing you of doing that deliberately, but your demeanour seems to give the impression you don't actually care about Wikipedia other than its Alexa rank). — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 06:54, 29 December 2014 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 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 below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. &mdash; RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:14, 27 December 2014 (UTC)
