Iron FX article and conflict of interest
Hi IronFX, I appreciate your edits to wikipedia and particularly the article about IronFX, however your username and the content you are adding leads me to believe you may have a conflict of interest. I have removed the awards section again as it adds nothing useful to the article as these are low qualify and not encyclopedic and conflict with WP:Neutral point of view. Wikipedia has a number of guidelines and I would particularly recommend that you check WP:CONFLICT. Sargdub (talk) 19:59, 11 December 2013 (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. SmartSE (talk) 14:14, 19 December 2013 (UTC)

IronFX wiki appeal for unblocking
Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 23:36, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the response Daniel Case, I've answered the questions below.


 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?

After a lot of research, I understand that the encyclopedia must remain neutral and only contain notable information. I've studied different business articles to help my understanding, and have looked at articles with varying quality, according to the 'WikiProjects Business' article classes.


 * Do you understand conflict of interest?

Yes I can say this is where most of my research time has been spent. I've looked at how companies such as BP have assisted in correcting or expanding points on the Wikipedia article about them. I would look to follow a similar method, to ensure that my COI is disclosed and I'm also within the rules.


 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

I understand notability to the best of my knowledge. For example, I know that most blogs and press releases shouldn't be used, and that I must be looking at things such as industry news sites, magazines and major publications (such as the WSJ) for references. I also understand that the point itself must be encyclopedic and relate to the subject. For example, if there was something trivial about a company's history, even if it features in a major publication, it might not need covering. IronFX wiki (talk) 12:55, 13 March 2014 (UTC)

Please submit a request at our username change request board, ensuring that you do not edit elsewhere on the project until the name change has been completed. Remember: changing the username will not allow you to violate the important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 14:04, 14 March 2014 (UTC)
