Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, OnlineGroceries. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:ShopHero, 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. Longhair\talk 18:49, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Longhair\talk 18:49, 6 November 2018 (UTC)

Can you help me understand the difference in the citations I used and those used on the article I used as a template? They seem identical to me. Also, I was not paid to write this article. I know many people are searching our company and I thought a Wikipedia article that referenced the company would be helpful. OnlineGroceries (talk) 21:53, 6 November 2018 (UTC) Onlinegroceries
 * If you are employed by the company in any capacity you are a paid editor. We have no way to know when you are "on the clock" or not. Wikipedia has no concern for enhancing your company's search results.  I get that Wikipedia articles rank highly in search results, but we are focused on building an encyclopedia.
 * Regarding the citations, beware in comparisons to other similar articles. Please read other stuff exists. Each article is judged on its own merits.  It could be that the page you compared your work to is also inappropriate(I'm not sure, I haven't examined it in detail).  As I indicated, the sources seemed to be press release-type sources or otherwise routine business announcements.  These are not appropriate for establishing notability(please review WP:ORG for information on notability). 331dot (talk) 22:21, 6 November 2018 (UTC)
