Hello, Same Sky. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Same Sky", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it's the name of a company. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Kleuske (talk) 16:44, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, there have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation, which is also against policy. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Wikipedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and Wikipedia is not the place to tell the world what good work you think "Same Sky" does, and why you believe we should all admire it. Generally speaking, anyone with a close personal involvement in the subject of a Wikipedia article (such as an employee of a company that the article is about, or a member of a group that it is about) should not edit that article, as it is difficult to ensure that editing is done from a neutral point of view. I also see that over the years a number of accounts have existed for the sole purpose of posting unambiguously promotional content to the article Same Sky, and at least one of those accounts has already been blocked. Whether the same person is using the account or a different one, Same Sky must not try to evade the effect of such blocks by using new accounts when existing ones are blocked. If the same kind of attempts to use Wikipedia for promotional purposes continue, with further new accounts being used, we can if necessary protect the article so that new accounts can't edit it. I hope that will not be necessary, as it would cause inconvenience for other editors too. 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 this 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 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 below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 14:26, 25 October 2016 (UTC)
