Thanks Brookie for you assistance,

I have previously tried to add a page, but it was deleted so I clearly did something wrong Hahaha, which was not the intention though. I more or less posted the following as set out below, but apparently my username at the time was a violation of Wiki, but I have changed my username subsequently.

"Le Kap magazine in a luxury lifestyle magazine published in South Africa by Le Mag Publications Group. The magazine is released quarterly - during March, June, September and December".

Another Question: I see some magazines have a photo on the right hand side of the page - is this allowed in our case?

Kind regards,

Steve Swan, you are invited on a Wikipedia Adventure!

I am very confused why I have been blocked - Could you please explain to me what I am doing differently to what other magazines are doing?

Regards

Hi, I am confused what I am doing wrong. When I fist registered I used the name Lekap mag and my contribution was deleted. I subsequently registered again as Steve Swan and hoped that would resolve the problem, but now it would seem as if the old username of Lekap mag has resulted in me being blocked entirely.

What I was hoping to achieve is to list a magazine we publish - is this allowed or not. I seem to see numerous magazines listed and they ling through to a wiki page when one clicks on their name.

Please advise

Regards

Clarification
Since there is some confusion, I'll spell it out.
 * You chose a user name initially which was the same or similar to that of a product or company, which is a clear breach of our user name policy, and used that account to write about the magazine
 * I blocked you for that reason, which is normal procedure for accounts which breach our user name rules. You had been advised that you should create a new account but had not done so at that stage
 * You created this account, but that is evading your block as described above, especially when you recreate an article in which you have a conflict of interest. You have realised that you need to follow the correct unblock procedure, rather than just create a new account
 * I won't take any part in unblock decisions, since I blocked you, and it wouldn't be fair to you. You should note, however, that it is unlikely that you will be allowed to write about your company anyway, since that is normally a condidtion of unblocking.

Hi Jim - I am even more confused - I agree that I was advised to create a new account, which I duly did - but this resulted in me being blocked. Either I am not very bright or I don't understand what it means - 'create a new account'. Anyway it is what it is. Regards --Steve Swan (talk) 06:57, 24 April 2015 (UTC)
