Blocked for unacceptable username - October 2018

Hello SproutSEO, welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy that accounts may not imply shared use by multiple persons, I have blocked this account. Your username is the only reason for this block. Please take a moment to choose a personal username, for example you may use "John at Sprout" if the name is available, or any name which represents yourself as an individual. To request a change of username, copy and paste the following text below this notice: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} You may instead choose to abandon this account and create a new account with an acceptable username. If you have any questions please feel free to ask here. Thank you, and I apologize for the inconvenience. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 13:39, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I have renamed this account; as your username was the only reason for the block, I will lift it; please remember to comply with the conflict of interest policy. 331dot (talk) 14:00, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that your original name was particularly appalling, as SEO by definition is editing not to make a better article but to get better search engine results. SEO editing, therefore, is really a form of vandalism (which, of course, we will not tolerate.) --Orange Mike | Talk 14:56, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Orange Mike: Thanks for this additional background. We definitely aren't editing 'for SEO;' that is just in my current job title and in the spirit of transparency I included it in my username. The SEO team did not write any of the proposed changes; instead, we were editing for accuracy since things have changed since the last time it was edited. Thank you again for the information and I'll review WP:NOTADVERTISING with the team writing the entry. Liz at Sprout (talk) 16:29, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

If there is a "team" editing, they will all need their own accounts and all need to identify their conflict of interest and paid status. You may also wish to review the procedure regarding edit requests to existing articles and Articles for Creation if you want to attempt to create a new one. 331dot (talk) 16:32, 11 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sprout Social (October 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Ammarpad was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This article still not only smacks of promotion but it is promotion and advertising in its entirety. Please read WP:PROMOTION and WP:SPAM and completely rewrite it while keeping in mind of WP:COI. You also must thoroughly trim "awards" and "Network Integrations & Partnerships" puff sections and another important read is WP:RS. Note that, in as much as it remains in this state it can be deleted always, promotion and advocacy are not allowed anywhere in Wikipedia

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Sprout Social (October 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by SamHolt6 was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject. Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.
