User talk:ScotSAC HQ

Welcome!
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, 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 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 14:41, 31 March 2016 (UTC)


 * I am grateful for the edits you have made to Scottish Sub Aqua Club, although I don't think the citations you added last show that SSAC qualifications are recognised world-wide (even though I'm pretty certain they are). Nevertheless Wikipedia is strict about only accepting edits from individuals, not organisations. Why not ask for an unblock with a change of username to something like "Joe at ScotSAC HQ"? In addition, our Conflict of Interest Policy strongly recommends that editors do not directly edit articles where they may have a financial interest. In these cases, the solution is to make suggestions on the article talk page, Talk:Scottish Sub Aqua Club, when any other editor who agrees can then make the edits without any risk of CoI. I watch that page, and I'm sure User:Cowdy001 watches it as well. He does a lot of work with our articles on diving organisations and is always helpful if you need advice. It would be a shame to lose someone with scuba expertise from our project, so I'd encourage you to make the unblock request. If you have any difficulty with that, I'd be happy to help - you are still free to edit this page to ask for anything. --RexxS (talk) 21:51, 31 March 2016 (UTC)
