User talk:UFAC

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  15:08, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for email. There are two separate issues
 * You cannot use a name that represents a company or organisation. If you think that your current name does not violate that policy, the pink box tells you how to appeal. If you accept that the name is not permissible, you can ask to be allowed to create a new user name. The procedure for that is also in the box. I won't make the decision since it would not be fair to you for me to do so.

The deletion of the article is a separate issue. I deleted your article because


 * it did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. Examples of unsourced claims presented as fact include: media powerhouse... two most successful German films... drew more than 180 million moviegoers and generated over 1 billion US$... successful productions such as the first three... as one of the world’s most famous and historic brands... a clear signal about the continued importance... the popular children’s and young-adult... and so on
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about these subjects. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your clients are notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
 * The German version was also unsourced and created by your company. German Wikipedia is a separate entity with different rules to the English version, so the fact that the article has survived there despite its COI and lack of independent sources doesn't help you here.

I'm watching this page now, so you will probably get a response sooner if you post here rather than email  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  07:04, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
