Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Wiki.elginhotels", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or shared by multiple people. Please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:09, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I had chosen this username as I felt that when writing an article about a group of hotels that has been chosen to be one of the best hotels even by independent Hotel Review organisation like Trip Advisor, I should chose an username which reflects the Hotel Name. But incase this violates a Wiki Policy, I can always use my a different no specific name. Please let me know if I need to change my username immediately as on reviewing the article it seems that even if I apply for an username change it does take a long time since the queues are long.

 * Yes, you do need a new username, and to avoid writing about your own business. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:51, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I am not writing about my own business as I do not work for that Hotel Group but rather stayed there as a Guest. I hope doing that does not mean I cannot write about the Hotel properties if I liked something charming about them.

 * If you are unconnected with the hotel, how did you know so much about it? The information you wrote isn't in any of the articles you cited, as far as I saw.  I stayed in a comfortable and charming lodge a few weeks ago... but I don't know the name of its owner, or their family relationships. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Hi, Thats the fun part of this Hotel. If you go during the summer you could actually get to meet the owner and his son and the rest of the family as Viraj was born in Darjeeling and studied there so when you start talking to them about the Heritage of these four Hotels which I had never planned to visit at the same time but did when I heard the story, its kind of very interesting as all these hotels were once upon a time owned by the Kings and Maharajas and as a result they have a very rich and interesting history. This is more that a charming lodge, these hotels are places where you feel you are with royalty as once upon a time the royalty use to stay here. So thats how I knew about them and felt that tourists coming to Himalayas should know about them and their wonderful hospitality. Remember India has a much richer heritage compared to many countries so I felt it should be shared.

 * It sounds very nice. If it is a company that meets the notability criteria, and if you can help us find the reliable, independent sources that you say have written in depth about it, then Wikipedia would love to have an article on this subject.  But you still can't use a business's name as your username.  -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:40, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I need a little help with the change of my username as I do not see any way to do it. Wiki.elginhotels 14:44, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * You don't need to change your username- you forgot to mention User:Wiki.webscapeoy, your older account. Just use that one to continue editing. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:46, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I have not been able to do it. It says I cannot edit an article due to a block on this ID and since both the IDs are using the same IP there is an IP conflict. And as for verifiable sources the immediate one I could locate was the Trip advisor information Condo Nash seems to be a paid subscription online so maybe I cannot provide the link but I can provide the reference when it was published as I saw that on in their library and I have also seen them featured in Lonely Planet. This is one of the best places not as a hotel but as a heritage palaces which is steeped in history. Its just because they are not very media savvy you do not see much features happening as big city hotels but then again hotels in mountains and small locations do not have much written about them. I was impressed and I felt life writing. If you say I am not supposed to talk about my experiences that I feel do stand out as an encyclopedia of information. Well then its like being unfair.

This article does not contain any advertising or promotional material. It rather contains references to verifiable sources and magazine articles that has come up about this Hotel Group. I had stayed in this Hotels and felt that for a region like Himalayas which holds a wonderful mystery for many travelers all over the world, knowing about a Hotel which has Heritage Property and one of the bast places to stay would be great. There are many such articles on Indian Hotels many of which are rundown hotels and yet the articles out here talk about their splendour when in reality there is not. In this case this hotel properties has time and again been won accolades and acclaim and is undoubtedly visited by tourists all over the world and they have also written a lot about it in places like Trip Advisors which many of us individuals use to plan our holidays. So I do not see why this article should be marked for deletion.

 * Can you provide links to where the hotels have been written about? The user who nominated the article for deletion did not find any reliable sources online. —C.Fred (talk) 14:00, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
 * And please change your username before it's blocked (it violates our naming policies). Thank you. Drmies (talk) 14:22, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

I would need some help there. I want to use my the name SonaliMohta but I am not a very old used of Wiki so would really need guidance how to do it.

Wiki.elginhotels 14:39, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for username is the name of a business. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC) I've gone ahead and blocked this account. You don't need a new username; just go back to using User:Wiki.webscapeoy, the account you created in April. Wikipedia's rules don't allow you to use multiple accounts, anyway. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 14:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)

Then can this account be deleted and can I edit this article using the username Wiki.webscapeoy which I had used first to create this writeup but it was deleted and since I was a new user I had no clue how to get it back so I wrote again and it got deleted again. Then I thougth maybe if I used a new username, Wiki would look at my article with a new light and read it before going for an immediate deletion. Atleast this time this is happening. But if I do not need to use this account, I want it to be deleted permanently. How do I do it.
 * Using is fine, if that's you--under that name the same article was created, and speedily deleted as promotional. You should consider changing the way you edit--contrary to your assertion above, the versions of the articles you have produced so far were not neutral, unverified, and promotional. As for this account, there is nothing more to be done: it is blocked, and nothing needs to be deleted. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 17:47, 5 July 2012 (UTC)
