Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Bracebridge, Ontario. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Hello and thank you for the note... I am new to this so appreciate the instruction. Please see amended content and advice if it is now suitable. Ladymuskoka (talk) 00:40, 10 February 2020 (UTC)


 * Hi, I don't see where you've ammended content. But in any case, no, it's not suitable in general for you to be adding content about Lady Muskoka if you are an employee, owner, etc., as your username suggests, sorry. I'll add some further explanation below. If you get blocked from editing, don't take it personally, that's just the way thing work here. Basically, people are not allowed to write about themselves or their businesses. If you, as an individual, would like to get a Wikipedia account and contribute information about Bracebridge or subjects other than your business, you're welcome to do so. --IamNotU (talk) 05:38, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Bracebridge, and I noticed that your username, "Ladymuskoka", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. ''Your username was already reported, so it may be blocked. If you'd like to edit Wikipedia articles as an individual, not related to your business or the business of someone you have a personal relationship with, it's probably easiest to just start a new account.''

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. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.
