Be careful editing an article if you've been engaged by the subject to do PR for it
Hello, Prrestaurantnora. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Restaurant Nora, you may have a conflict of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:30, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Hello, I'm I dream of horses. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Restaurant Nora because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. I dream of horses @ 19:32, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Restaurant Nora. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 19:32, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Restaurant Nora, and I noticed that your username, "Prrestaurantnora", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87". Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. I dream of horses If you reply here, please leave me a message on my talk page. @ 19:33, 30 June 2014 (UTC)

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.

User name, COI, promotion
Hello Prrestaurantnora, which I am guessing, based on your edits, means "PR Restaurant Nora".

A few things: Our user name policy is here: Username. Please see the sections on "Promotional names" (WP:CORPNAME) and "Names implying shared use" (WP:ISU, both of which make it appear that your username violates that policy. You may want to consider changing the name (which you can do here or just abandoning this account.

More importantly, in terms of behavior, please know that part of the terms of use for Wikipedia, include a requirement that if you are paid to edit Wikipedia, you must disclose that. There are further rules for editors with a conflict of interest, which you can read here: WP:COI.

Finally, please know that Wikipedia is an open-access encyclopedia, intended to provide reliable information to the public. Use of Wikipedia for promotion is an abuse of editing privileges and editors who do so get blocked or banned. Please see WP:NOPROMO. There are PR people on Wikipedia who work within the Terms of Use, policies, and guidelines; check out work by user for examples.

I reckon that you didn't know any of the above, and that you will change your behavior going forward. Good luck! Jytdog (talk) 19:38, 30 June 2014 (UTC)


 * One other thing: be very careful with material that has been published on a subject's website. In most cases, Wikipedia removes this material immediately: we cannot use text that violates the copyright of another party, and most editors do not have authority to release the contribution under a free license. The subject would need to donate the material and release it under a free license&mdash;and if they choose to make such a donation, it cannot be revoked. —C.Fred (talk) 19:45, 30 June 2014 (UTC)
