June 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen (Ushida Findlay) 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. The article in question is Ushida Findlay Architects. Thank you. GregJackP  Boomer!   03:13, 15 June 2012 (UTC) Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/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 again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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?  05:54, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ushida Findlay Architects


The article Ushida Findlay Architects has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article written by user with the same name to promote the company

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * I have opposed this deletion, removed the tag, and explained on the Talk page. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 07:45, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

ArcelorMittal Orbit
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia! I can see that this account has been blocked but I hope you might still see this. Unfortunately you've fallen foul of what often happens when people show up here aiming to "right wrongs". I know it seems all a bit mad at the moment but I assure you it's well-founded in our concerns about the encyclopaedia - which, naturally, are not always going to be the same as your concerns about your business! So please take several deep breaths, pour coffee, whatever you do don't threaten to sue anyone :) and try to consider what's happened. In particular, you need to watch out for the problem of conflicts of interest. You may often find that addressing an issue on an article Talk page is more productive than just changing the article, especially if there's already a CoI worry. I wanted to explain, similarly, why I reverted all your edits to ArcelorMittal Orbit ... they may or may not be correct; I honestly wouldn't know. But changing it without explaining what you're doing, especially when it seems to represent quite radical change and you clearly represent an interest, is a big no-no. If I were you I would take a well-referenced argument to the article's Talk page and set out your stall there. If you can reach consensus there then you're cooking on gas! I hope this helps. Thanks and best wishes DBaK (talk) 07:44, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
