Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Union Kitchen. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. JBW (talk) 22:36, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Since writing the above message I have discovered two other facts. Firstly, and more importantly, you are evading a block on another account. I shall therefore block this account from editing too. Secondly, you have been violating Wikipedia's copyright policy. You don't avoid copyright by putting sentences in a different order and making a few trivial changes of wording such as replacing "Our Accelerator works through four phases to help build food businesses" with "Union Kitchen's Accelerator works through four phases to help build food businesses".

If you continue to edit to try to turn the article about your business into an advertisement, the article can be subjected to any of several levels of protection to prevent you from doing so. The highest level of protection would allow only Wikipedia administrators to edit. I hope you won't make that necessary, as it would cause difficulty for legitimate editors, as well as stopping your spam.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked then you may request an unblock. To do so, follow the instructions on the talk page of your original account. JBW (talk) 23:13, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

Hi JBW. I am in an administrative position here at Union Kitchen and wanted to update our Wikipedia page to reflect accurate information. I apologies for any confusion - my intent was to simply correct our Wikipedia page. I did not mean to bypass any processes or rules. I made a new account because I received a message saying that my previous username of unionkitchen made my edits a conflict of interest. Please let me know how to properly edit this page to reflect Union Kitchen's accurate description and purpose. Thank you!Kit2020 (talk) 23:23, 21 December 2020 (UTC)

The content you added was copied from another website, and thus was a violation of Wikipedia's copyright policy. Please don't add copyright material to Wikipedia. — Diannaa (talk) 22:22, 22 December 2020 (UTC)

Whatever your intention was, what you actually did can't possibly be described as merely "[updating] ... to reflect accurate information". You added text which was totally unmistakable marketing copy. To give just one short example, "Union Kitchen leverages its experience, networks, and manufacturing infrastructure across the packaged good industry to scale brands efficiently and effectively" is promotional: it is not merely neutral reporting of objective fact. If you genuinely didn't see that what you wrote is promotional then I can only assume that you work in marketing/advertising/PR/whatever and are so used to dealing with promotional text all day year after year that you have become desensitised to it, and can't see it when it's right in front of you. (That is not some kind of sarcasm: that really does happen to many people in that kind of work.) If so, then it's an excellent example of one of the main reasons why Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages editors from writing about businesses that they work for or own: it can be difficult for someone closely involved to write neutrally even if they intend to.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked so that you can edit again, then you should, as I said above, follow the instructions on the talk page of your original account. JBW (talk) 20:44, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
