User talk:Notion flooring

Account blocked because of promotional use
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:22, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Haven't you just been told "No"? You simply cannot use Wikipedia to promote your flooring company. Squinge (talk) 09:29, 4 April 2015 (UTC)

Haven't we confirmed that we don't wanna promote our product, I copied the article from my desktop and pasted and yes it contained our name as well. but it was all by mistake. we would be careful before uploading information
 * Several things: Firstly, you can not have a user name that represents your company. Secondly, Wikipedia does not allow company or group accounts anyway, so all this "We" business is not allowed. (Wikipedia accounts are only for individuals wishing to help build an encyclopedia. Do you know what an encyclopedia is?) Next, Wikipedia is not a company directory and you cannot create a page about your company unless it satisfies the Wikipedia notability guidelines at WP:CORP and is supported by multiple independent reliable sources as described at WP:RS. Even then, you would not be allowed to base an article on the company's own marketing pages as you are suggesting. Finally, you should not be the one writing about your own company as you clearly have a conflict of interest, as explained at WP:COI. I suggest that if you want to have any chance of being unblocked you would need to suggest a username than is not related to your company, and agree not to write about your company.

Yes, I can do from my own name if you allow me i will change my user name from notion flooring to akashsaini and yes i know whats is encyclopedia, as i said before i would only be writing general information without conflict.
 * I suggest you make another request, specifying your proposed new username and explaining what you wish to contribute to the encyclopedia other than writing about your flooring company. That way it will be brought to the attention of an admin who will assess your request. Squinge (talk) 11:38, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
