User talk:LocationHQ

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. Alexf(talk) 23:52, 9 December 2014 (UTC)

 * A username change will not absolve you of a conflict of interest. What pages would you edit if unblocked and renamed, knowing you wouldn't be allowed to write about your company? — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 01:10, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

I would possibly edit the varies pages relevant to film locations, scouting for locations, location management etc. I notice that many of these type of pages have references at the end which lead to specific location libraries like ours. Is this also not permitted? Thanks 86.134.78.165 (talk) 10:07, 12 December 2014 (UTC)

I would also like to say. I made an error and was blocked instantly. I never posted anything. I immediately tried to change the name upon checking the toc. I feel I should of been given an warning at least according to the conflict of interest guidelines as pasted out below. Dealing with single-purpose accounts[edit] Further information: Wikipedia:Blocking policy § Disruption-only and Wikipedia:Single-purpose account Accounts that appear to be single-purpose accounts that exist for the sole or primary purpose of promotion or denigration of a person, company, product, service, website, organization, etc., and whose postings are in apparent violation of this guideline, should be made aware of this guideline and warned not to continue their problematic posting. If the same pattern of editing continues after the warning, the account may be blocked. 86.134.78.165 (talk) 10:17, 12 December 2014 (UTC)
 * In reviewing this block, I see that the edit filter prevented you from adding a promotional link to your firm. In your comments above, it is not clear that you will refrain from adding any other links or promotional material related to your conflict of interest. Can you assure us that you will not do this in the future? Kuru   (talk)  15:51, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

I will not add anything promotional. Really this is not worth the aggravation. I wanted to add some interesting facts about location scouting and some locations that were used on popular films like skyfall. I thought people would be interested. I only tried to add a link the same as the other location company had done. I assumed it was OK as they had done it. It was a genuine error. Please Delete this account I do not have the time to argue about this when other companies are flouting the rules and I make a genuine mistake. The links are at the bottom under references.
