Welcome!

Questions
I wasn't sure how to ask for help so i have written it all here hoping someone could help me.
 * In relation to the name conflict: I am an independent editor who has been asked by the company to write an article about them on Wikipedia. I choose to create a new account using the companies name, however if you want me to start a new one with my name then i am happy to do so.
 * In Relation to the page deletion of Readyflowers i have removed any potential Puff and have provided resources to reputable publications in Western Australia and information from Hitwise.


 * is there anything else i can do?


 * Hi Readyflowers. I saw your "helpme" and thought I'd stop by.  Probably the first and best thing I could suggest is that you read up on Wikipedia conflict of interest.  I say that because of the similarity of the article and your user name.  A brief glance indicates the article may actually meet our notability, but editing an article you are directly involved with can be a difficult task.  I'd suggest your best contributions to the article may come in comments on the article talk page, and suggestions to other editors as to why the subject is notable, and what could be done to improve the article - while still remaining neutral in point of view.  I'll leave the helpme tag up in hopes that another editor may be able to provide some more detailed information, and additional suggestions. Good Luck — Ched ~  (yes?)/© 08:04, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello. One thing that I would add is that you definitely should change your username. You can get a whole new account entirely or you can rename your account, which takes a little longer. You can be blocked due to having the name of a company as your username, and only editing things related to that company. See WP:Blocking policy for more info on that. You might also wanna check out Wikipedia's Business FAQ. I am, however, going to "null" the helpme tag. If you have any further questions you an reinstate it.

 * "Is there anything else I can do?" Yes. Leave it to someone with no COI to decide whether the company is notable. &mdash; RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 10:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Readyflowers
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Readyflowers, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors;
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam); and,
 * 4) avoid breaching relevant 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for businesses. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Taroaldo (talk) 06:18, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Your username
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: because it promotes or advertises a product or company, which is against our policies. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

-- Wh ip it !  Now whip it good! 06:24, 23 March 2009 (UTC) Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest''.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text   or email the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list.
