User talk:SmartinBenefits


 * I'm going to nominate that page for deletion for lack of sourcing. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 20:24, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I've instead proposed merging the salvageable content of that page into the page for its parent company. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 20:36, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Jeremy, I believe you might have mis-understood me. We are NOT part of Great-West Lifeco, but would like to create a similar page as Great-West Life Assurance for Smartin Benefits which is a seperatr company.
 * No, you've misunderstood me. I'm nominating Great West Life Assurance for merger into Great-West Lifeco. — Jeremy  v^_^v Bori! 21:21, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Jeremy, I fail to understand what Great West Life has to do with me then?
 * Also, I received email from Chillum about shared accounts to which I would like to respond: As the owner of the company, I need to have access to this account as the employee who did the original posting is no longer involved with this kind of work. Thus, I will be the only one using this account going forward. On a side note: Bigger companies have "shared" accounts as employees come and go and they still need to have access to maintain information.
 * We explicitly do NOT allow shared accounts; it interferes with the terms of Wikipedia's licensing, which requires that all contributors be credited. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 21:38, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Everyone, at the end of the day, if it is easier for you to Delete the SmartinBenefits account and all related material (on all Wiki* Related Sites), I am also OK with that and I will start from scratch again. I do not need this to develop into a long conversation.
 * We can't delete accounts for legal (interferes with the copyright licensing) or technical (no means to do so in the MediaWiki software) reasons. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 21:38, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Jeremy, so how do I then remove the media from WikiMedia Commons? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Smartin_Benefits_Logo_-_High_Quality_Complete_Logo.png
 * You will have to request it at Wikimedia Commons. Wikipedia and Commons are separate projects, and admins here don't necessarily have administrator privileges there. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 21:43, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Jeremy, so have you decided what to do then? As I am the company owner and have the UserId and password and nobody else, will you accept that and unblock the account? I am just interested in creating a company information page and maintain it as required.
 * I am not an admin - and even if I were, I would decline the request. As Chillum says below, this account has both a disallowed username and only seems to exist to edit about the company. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 21:52, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Jeremy, well thank you for your feedback. I will not use this account any more and create a new one at some point.  Enjoy the rest of your day.

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. - Vianello (Talk) 15:36, 17 May 2013 (UTC)

I forgot to mention that if this account is shared then it cannot be unblocked. In that case any individual is welcome to make their own account as long as they do not engage in promotion. Chillum 21:27, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
