Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, such as you did in the article Cressman's Lawn & Tree Care. Wikipedia is not the "Yellow Pages". If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets, such as Wikia's Yellowikis. Thank you. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 03:56, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Shawncressman) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is Cressman's Lawn & Tree Care. Thank you. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 03:57, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Landscape design, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 05:45, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

A word to the wise
If you post this article again without having carefully read WP:CORP about notability for companies, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed for everything, it will be deleted again and you may well be blocked from editing. I would add to your homework WP:SPAM about promotion (the wording was pretty well neutral, but your username makes me doubtful about the intention), and WP:COI about writing about you and yours (if you are who you call yourself, this is a must read...). Good luck with the business, anyway. Peridon (talk) 18:39, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
