User talk:Thorpyfx

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first pages you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that page.

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you've had a new article rejected or deleted, new article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE  and on IRC chatAgain, welcome! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:47, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, " Thorpyfx ", may not comply with our username policy.

Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art".

 * Hi, sorry to bother you with this. We purposefully spent 6 months checking out other brands submissions to Wikipedia to try and ensure we didn't post anything controversial or advertorial. My company (albeit small) sells effects pedals all over the world to musicians and rockstars. Before we posted the page we edited it to keep it factual only, no opinions. I have my own web page so don't need to host anything on wikipedia to generate sales. I just thought that as a company with nearly ten years of trading it would be useful for people to find information on us. You have many other effect pedal brands with information on this site, examples include JHS, Chase Bliss Audio, Earthquaker devices...Marshall amplification, Ibanez, keeley electronics, electro-harmonix. why is my page removed but theirs stands? what am i doing wrong? kindest regards, Adrian Thorpe Thorpyfx (talk) 15:09, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
 * You shouldn't write about yourself. You need a username that reflects an individual not a group. However, any article needs be meet our notability criteria - see WP:N and Notability (organizations and companies). Secretlondon (talk) 15:47, 15 November 2023 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.  Acroterion   (talk)   17:46, 15 November 2023 (UTC)
