User talk:Sfcumarketing

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Sfcumarketing", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is a username implying shared use. 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, or you may simply create a new account for editing. You need to create an individual username. This one is as unacceptable as your first try, user:StanfordFCU. See WP:ISUMeters (talk) 18:26, 25 March 2014 (UTC)

Why can't we have a username that implies shared use/log-in? We would want only authorized employees to edit content and this log-in would reflect that an authorized employee made the edit. I am trying to edit/correct/update content already on the page. Sfcumarketing (talk) 20:55, 27 March 2014 (UTC)


 * The answers are in the links you've already been given. Please read them. User accounts are for individuals. They are not to be shared and they especially not to be sharted by authorized employees. What you are proposing is what is known as a role account and is not allowed. See WP:ROLE. Your username implies shared use and is not allowed. See WP:ISU. You should also read the conflict of interest guidelines. See Conflict of interest. Employees of a company are very limited in the types of edits they can make to an article about that company.
 * Your first username was blocked, and I'm going to ask that this one be blocked also. Meters (talk) 21:15, 27 March 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. -- Orange Mike |  Talk  23:27, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
