 * Could you please explain what you mean by a 'guest account'? Peridon (talk) 15:06, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Asked by whom? We tend to discourage editors from undertaking edits on behalf of someone else. And how is it possible to create an autobiography about someone other than yourself?--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 15:35, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

I have been asked by them to do it (Liverpool Cricket Club)I have just rebuilt their website and a lot of the links have changed also they have upgrade their site.

autobiography - Sorry that was a typo I meant biography

By guest account I meant that I made a change and it logged my IP rather than create an account.

I spend my time build website and managing companies and organisation online image they often want me to make sure the listing about them online are correct and up to date.

I don't wish to break any of Wikipedia's self promotion or updating policies "talk"
 * Ah, right. We just call those IP edits. You're more anonymous with an account, unless you use your real name. BTW please sign talk page posts with ~ which will put your sig up. Not in bright red like Anthony's (unless you set it up in code first in Preferences - don't ask me how), but like mine with a date and time stamp. Being paid to edit isn't strictly against the rules, but is really only OK if we don't know it's happening - that is, by someone using a neutral style and not trying to promote (or gloss over shortcomings...). We don't know how much of it happens when it's done properly, because we don't see it. We do see the ones who get it wrong (like the one who wrote an article about a company that was so full of PR talk that I never found out what the company actually did...). Have a look at WP:COI. Notability - for Faith see WP:BAND (yes, I know she isn't...) and WP:RS reliable independent sources. For clubs WP:CLUB, groups WP:GROUP (that's not BANDS), and companies WP:CORP. All need RS. Now the tricky question: Do you think you can manage to balance all this with your customers' desire to be glorified and adored by millions? Peridon (talk) 16:18, 14 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I will just mention that "Being paid to edit isn't strictly against the rules, but is really only OK if we don't know it's happening" is an opinion, and is not shared by all Wikipedia editors, by any means. There are many who view all editing for commercial gain as totally contrary to the whole spirit of Wikipedia. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:38, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 19:08, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you for those link. I did not realize Wikipedia stance of notability. However after read through the above articles I do understand the principles of conflict of interest and Notability.

I believe I can uphold these and principles
