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. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 01:21, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Nomination of Stayte for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Stayte is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Stayte until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 01:20, 7 April 2012 (UTC)

Here are my answers to your questions:


 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory? Yes. I understand this and have no intention of creating content that would be considered as such. I believe I made a mistake by publishing the article too soon in the writing process. I have read it over in light of these three questions and can see where I have included some language that does not contribute to a neutral viewpoint. I apologize for this rookie mistake and hope that I can be unblocked so I can make the necessary corrections.
 * Do you understand conflict of interest? Yes I do. I am not trying to promote this band here. There are plenty of other more appropriate places to do this. I simply wish to provide an article that gives some basic details about the band and its history.
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable? I do. There are several other articles already on Wikipedia that mention Stayte and my primary reason for adding this article was to help round out those articles.
 * So, you're suggesting that it is your intent to continue writing about them? ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 20:57, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Yes - I would like to return to editing the Stayte article to make it more neutral by removing all the language/content that could be viewed as promotional and supplying more references. I would also like to contribute elsewhere on Wikipedia in the future but it probably makes sense for me to fix this article first - no?--Stayte band (talk) 16:01, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
