User talk:Spacevac International

August 2023
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Spacevac International", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is a name of a company and implies 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 by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

 * Hi Dorsetonian, before setting up the new page I reviewed other similar pages ie "Nilfisk" to make sure it was relevant and correct, and so that is the intention to create a page that contains our historical information, what we do as a company and links to our website etc, and hopefully this will create traffic to Wikipedia and edits.

 * That's exactly what Wikipedia is not for. Wikipedia has articles, not pages.  Your company website is the place to tell about your company's history.  Wikipedia is interested in what independent reliable sources consider to be your company's history; it also is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves and what they do; we want to know what independent sources say your company does. Please read Your First Article.
 * Please read conflict of interest and paid editing for information on required formal disclosures; you will also need to change your username as instructed. 331dot (talk) 09:16, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Beware in using other articles as a model or example, see other stuff exists, as those could be problematic and you would be unaware of that. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those classified as good articles, which have been vetted by the community. 331dot (talk) 09:18, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * OK, I guess that is why it then is full of inaccuracies and unreliable information as you do not vet the content, the page I gave you as an example is a clear example of the opposite of what you preach, a total advertisement for a company, thank god I did not go any further, as it is as useless as I had been informed.
 * I just looked at another company to verify your assertions, Numatic International, exactly as I thought a clear company account advertising there famous brand and named equipment, so it is ok for the larger companies to do as they wish without your policing, how pathetic.
 * Please delete the account. Spacevac International (talk) 10:11, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
 * User accounts are never deleted. You may, of course, simply abandon it. Dorsetonian (talk) 11:49, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page):.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.
