Hello, Mikebudevents. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. --Yamla (talk) 16:51, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Blocked
You were warned. You were warned over at User talk:BudweiserEventsCenter and you were warned here. You blatantly violated WP:COI and WP:PROMO. You also violated WP:COPYRIGHT. As you have ignored several warnings, as you have violated Wikipedia's terms of use, as you appear to be here solely to promote the Budweiser Events Center, I have blocked you indefinitely. If you wish to contest this block, read WP:GAB. You'll need to explain why you blatantly violated our policies after prior warnings and you'll need to convince us you will avoid editing any subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest. --Yamla (talk) 17:15, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

How specifically would you comply with WP:COI? What else will you write about, subject areas for which you have no conflict of interest? Why did you violate copyright, and how will your future edits differ in that respect? --Yamla (talk) 19:05, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

To my knowledge, I did not violate any copyright rules as I cited the data from our official website and this is first-party information. All I did was include the correct information about our arena so that people looking up the arena could find the correct information. I had no intentions in writing about anything else to be honest with you; I just wanted to update our Wikipedia Entry so that it correctly reflected the Budweiser Events Center. I don't really understand how providing accurate information is considered copyright or against the rules in informing the public. Mikebudevents (talk) 19:11, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
 * As you know, anything you contribute here is irrevocably licensed under the CC BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL. You are saying there's no problem here. Great, please update this page to indicate the contents are released under those licenses. At the moment, that page says "©2019	The Ranch, Larimer County Fairgrounds & Events Complex	All Rights Reserved." As to the rest, if your only goal is to promote the event complex, I'm afraid you are unlikely to be blocked. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia rather than a business directory and simply isn't interested in what employees have to say about their businesses. This does make us different from most sites, so it's understandable you might not have expected that. --Yamla (talk) 19:20, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Makes sense to me! I appreciate all of the information.

Actually, where you directed me to was back to our website. Quick clarification; The Budweiser Events Center is a venue at The Ranch Events Complex, which is why there is that copyright line at the bottom of our website. There won't be a way for us to go around that, so we may be out of luck with updating our Wikipedia page at this point. Mikebudevents (talk) 19:32, 23 May 2019 (UTC)

Thanks for trying to help build Wikipedia, the world's largest free content encyclopedia."
"Official" information from a subject is not suitable for an encyclopedia. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." -- Deep fried okra  User talk:Deepfriedokra 19:01, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
