User talk:TikiLIVE

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "TikiLIVE", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:06, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to List of Internet television providers. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated (whether as a link in article text, or a citation in an article), and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the page, please discuss it on the associated talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 02:06, 17 June 2016 (UTC)

Hi Loretta, thanks for your message on my talk page. You should probably still change the name of this account using the process mentioned above, otherwise it is likely to be blocked as a violation of the user name policy. I'm not sure exactly what you are talking about when you say "our corporate wikipedia," but if your user page or an article has been deleted, it would likely be because it was seen as advertising and in breach of the conflict of interest guidelines. There is no such thing as "your corporate wikipedia" - wikipedia is an encyclopaedia which means it contains articles about notable companies, people etc, with verifiable information using reliable sources and written from a neutral point of view. Generally speaking, an article about a company should be written by someone who is independent from the company. So even though you have a new account or change your username, you should still not create articles or page about Tiki Live as you have a conflict of interest. You can suggest or request that a neutral editor does so, and if you can provide reliable sources that are independent of the company that might help them do so, but you should not do it yourself. Please read the Conflict of interest guidelines carefully, as well as some of the other policies I have linked to here (the links are in blue). I hope that is helpful. Finally, when you leave a message on someone's talk page like you did on mine, please "sign" it by adding four tildes (this symbol ~) at the end which will automatically include your username, a timestamp, and a link to your talk page.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. -- GB fan 13:44, 17 June 2016 (UTC)
