User talk:Irgcayman

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation, which is also against policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising service. 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 this 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 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 below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JohnCD (talk) 15:36, 18 November 2014 (UTC)


 * I will leave this request for another administrator to consider, but your proposed username is not acceptable because, as explained in the block notice, Wikipedia policy is that accounts are for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, and usernames that are the names of groups or companies are not permitted.


 * Your username may be related to your real name, or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations) but it should not be the name of any other living person. A name of the form "James at IRG" would be acceptable, and would serve to make your affiliation clear.


 * Please be clear that Wikipedia is not a business listing directory, but is selective about article subjects, and is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves. Even with an individual account, before making any edits about your employer you should read Conflict of interest. One reason for discouraging COI editing is that people find it hard to write in neutral terms about their own concerns. For instance, you say that what you wrote was "not for advertising", but it included:

"'...luxury property for discerning investors. IRG is the Cayman Island's leading integrated 2 provider, offering its clients and customers a comprehensive range of high quality professional real estate services...'"
 * That is marketing-speak, full of "peacock terms", the company trying to sell itself to clients, suitable maybe for your website, but not for an encyclopedia. Anything like that is deleted from Wikipedia at sight. JohnCD (talk) 14:47, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
