QHotels
Your new article is off to a poor start, I'm afraid. What you have written so far appears to be the beginning of a very nice advertisement for the hotel group, but not a very good encyclopedia article. Please refer to the Wikipedia guidelines listed above to ensure that your article adheres to the guidelines. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:35, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Strathclyde group11) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization or adding links to its website.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for using Wikipedia only for advertising, and also because your username indicates that the account is being used on behalf of a company or group. Both of these are contrary to Wikipedia policies. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
