User talk:Markettradersuk

February 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Markettradersuk) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to be designed solely to use Wikipedia for advertising and promotion of a company or organisation, which is not permitted. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. BencherliteTalk 12:15, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

Hi I do not understand why my username has been flagged for advertising. I have purly used the markettradersuk username as my website is called market traders uk. My website is reffence website that gives market traders information on markets, how to become a trader ect... I also list markets throughout the uk. I was adding information and creating a page as a place of reffence for future market traders to go to. I was going to put a link onmy site to the page on wikipedia as wikipedia can hold and has a larger knowlage and reffence to simular topics of markets.


 * Yep, that sounds like advertising your website to me. That's not what Wikipedia's here to do; nor is Wikipedia here to tell people how to become market traders (as you tried to do at Category:Market Traders UK, which I deleted).  You might want to read the links in the message below, and also WP:NOTPROMOTION.  Regards, BencherliteTalk 12:33, 2 February 2011 (UTC)

OK So howcome this page has not been removed? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Market_Traders_Federation. This is advertising a website. How do i change my username so that i con solely be an editor such as yourself?


 * You need to read Changing username and follow the instructions. Note that promoting your website isn't allowed whatever name you edit under.  And thanks for pointing out National Market Traders Federation (incidentally, you don't need the full url with http etc, just the name of the article with pairs of square brackets either side); but that's not advertising, although it could do with improvement.

Welcome
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia! Having come across your inaugural article, Category:Market Traders UK, I must advise you to read Wikipedia's guidelines on the notability and inclusion of organisation and companies. Any article on an organisation or company must demontstrate that organisation's relevence by being properly sourced through substantial third-party, objective coverage. Which means that, in its present state, your article is very likely to be deleted as non-notable and/or promotional. Also, you have incorrectly created your article as a category, rather than as an article. Finally, Wikipedia prohibits advertising, and your user account itself may be deleted as a violation of username policy. If you wish to contribute to Wikipedia, I would recommend you create a new account with a non-promotional name, avoid writing about your own company, and more generally familiarise yourself with what Wikipedia is about.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Wikipedia:Featured topics/Jesus College, Oxford, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and read the welcome page to learn more about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. Thank you.

Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   11:16, 8 February 2011 (UTC)
