User talk:Jay Salter

August 2018
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. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 03:30, 10 August 2018 (UTC)

You weren't blocked for your work email, but because you posted promotional text and the fact that your username is that of an organization, which is not permitted. Do you work for Monash IVF in addition to being a user of its services?

There is already an article on in vitro fertilization which goes into the process. As for Monash IVF, please understand that Wikipedia is not merely a forum to disseminate information. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources to meet the relevant notability guidelines, in this case WP:ORG. It appears to me that you simply took text from Monash IVFs website to create your draft; that is a copyright violation and not permitted. Additionally, Wikipedia has no interest in what an organization says about itself- only in what independent sources have chosen to write about it with in depth coverage. If you just want to tell the world or potential clients for Monash IVF about it, you should use social media or other website geared towards that purpose. Is there a subject that you want to edit about other than Monash IVF? 331dot (talk) 08:23, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Please also note that the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use required paid contributors to Wikipedia to disclose employer, client and affiliation. You may want to take a look at WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE, the relevant policy on the English Wikipedia. Huon (talk) 21:43, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * I have globally renamed Monash IVF Group to Jay Salter, and someone else will review your unblock request. I doubt, however, that you will find an admin willing to unblock you to continue to write about your company, as you were not fully honest with us in your previous unblock request.

 * Speaking in general here, I'll just add that marketing people are rarely suited to writing neutral article content about a subject in general, especially not when they work for a company involved in it. Whenever I hear anyone working in marketing who's writing about their own company claiming that their only motive is to spread education and not promote their company or client at all - I know I'm listening to a liar.

Someone else will review your request, but no entity has a "right" to an article. Your company must meet the notability criteria at WP:ORG. We think you work in marketing since you state you work for them and are here essentially marketing them. Whether you work in marketing or not, you have a severe conflict of interest and will not be allowed to create an article about your employer. Wikipedia is not written as a medical guide and cannot give medical advice; article are written for average readers. I urge you to heed the comments you are being given. 331dot (talk) 00:31, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I have other reasons for suspecting you work in marketing, which I will be happy to share by email with any reviewing admin. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:01, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
