 * The Seedrs page was not a good example to follow, it was also written like an advert, I have edited it to remove the promotional tone, thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 15:10, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

Happy to work with you on getting the page up to scratch? Please could you point out the issues and which sections are advert like so I can amend and re-submit?LucaPeterson (talk) 15:14, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You cannot amend and resubmit. You cannot write about your company on Wikipedia any more. If you would like to edit on other topics, please indicate what those are likely to be in your unblock request. However, if you are only here to write about GCV, you will not be unblocked.

What are the criteria needed to be able to write about a company on Wikipedia? LucaPeterson (talk) 15:21, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * You can, of course, find the detailed answer to this question in the various Wikipedia pages where policy is delineated. But putting it simply, a company you want to write about should possess wikipedic notability, should not have an article already extant in the English Wikipedia, and should not be your own company. The article must not read in any way like an advertisement and must include good quality independently sourced third-party references. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 19:44, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
