User talk:Yes You Can Consulting

Welcome!
Hello, Yes You Can Consulting, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions, such as your edit to the page Alliance Française de Washington, seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! --Finngall talk 17:20, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

Username and conflict of interest
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Yes You Can Consulting", 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, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara 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, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username 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. -- Ed (Edgar181) 18:21, 2 August 2019 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * 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.
 * 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

So, just to be clear. You ignored the terms of use which you agreed to when you created the account, and which you agreed to follow with each edit you made. You ignored our policies on WP:USERNAME, WP:COPYRIGHT, WP:COI, WP:PAID, WP:UPE, and WP:PROMO. No problem. Lots of new users make mistakes, so we warned you rather than blocking you. You refused to listen to the warning. Again, no problem. Lots of new users run into problems. So, we blocked you with instructions and links to the policies, pointing out once again your edits were inappropriate, but encouraging you to request an unblock "If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation". But nope, you still didn't bother to read the policies, nor did you tell us what you were going to write about instead. We've spent a lot of time trying to point you in the right direction. You weren't treated like a criminal, you were treated like someone who was making honest mistakes. We gave you multiple opportunities to stop making the mistakes and we pointed you in the right direction. And we are still willing to unblock you, but frankly, it's time to take responsibility for your actions. It's time to read the policies. It's time to read the warnings. It's time for you to convince us you understand and will follow these. --Yamla (talk) 16:57, 9 August 2019 (UTC)
