Promotion

Wikipedia is not here to promote your interests. The tone of your recent posts to the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre is not appropriate. Please don't bother doing it again as I will be sure to remove it. Contributions have to be neutral and encyclopedic. - 06:53, 8 October 2012 (UTC)

Username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw how you edited or created Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "BCEC marketing", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, 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. --Drm310 (talk) 15:43, 10 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

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.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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 {{unblock|Your reason here}} below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf^(talk) 14:59, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Elise (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand the reason behind the block, however I was not using the page for promotion but correcting information that was wrong. Yes some of the information comes from the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre website, but that is because it is correct. If you don't like certain wording I will adjust to remove bias, however it is much more accurate than the information that was on this page previously. Also the image on this page before my edit was very old and did not depict the current state of the centre, with the expansion from 2012. I intend to contribute to other pages about Brisbane as well, as I have noticed a number of errors.

Decline reason:

This username is already occupied. And your statement about the lack of prmotional intentions is conflicting with your edits that add stuff like "... is a world-class purpose-built venue renowned for its operational and service excellence" - no reasonable person would agree that it's something but blatant promotion.

Elisemm (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Is this username taken? I'm happy to add references from the 126 major industry awards the Centre has won which verify those statements. I do understand your meaning and will remove anything I can't find a reference for. It won't happen again

Decline reason:

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 08:14, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
