User talk:Lookers Group SEO

Hello, Lookers Group SEO. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Lookers, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 10:44, 22 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Good afternoon and thank you for this advice :)
 * I currently work for Lookers Plc that own Lookers, Charles Hurst and Taggarts and we would like to update our Wikipedia information to better reflect our business and bring the information up to date.
 * History section on Wikipedia
 * This page details some of our activities since 2015: https://www.lookersplc.com/our-business/our-heritage/


 * With regards to the Operations section:
 * This is no longer accurate either as our operations have expanded significantly and Renault should be Renault and not "Renaults".
 * Please advise if these are changes we can make to ensure accuracy and enrichment of the information held on Wikipedia in relation to our business.
 * Thanks,

 * Hi - Much of the above looks promotional and is sourced from the company. We can only accept material which is independently sourced (See WP:RS). I suggest you identify anything that is actually inaccurate or missing from the current article text and then you should log your request using an request edit on the article talk page. I have already made the change re "Renaults". Thank you. Dormskirk (talk) 14:19, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Orange Mike &#124;  Talk  14:51, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Wikipedia and copyright
Your edit request above had to be removed. First of all, it should go on the article talk page (Talk:Lookers), not your user talk page. But the more pressing reason was that it consisted of text copied and pasted from your company's website. You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, free of charge and in perpetuity, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:54, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
