Username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Musicpublisheronline", 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, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

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, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change 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.

Per your user page, this account represent a company whose purpose is to promote musicians online. Organization accounts are disallowed, as is using Wikipedia for the express purpose of promoting anything. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 17:38, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@WikiDan61: Sir, your statement "Per your user page, this account represent a company whose purpose is to promote musicians online" is completely incorrect and unfounded. Musicpublisheronline is not in any way or form a "company" or even a business. There is no website called musicpublisheronline. I am one individual, representing information discussed in and about the music business by casual colleagues. I often discuss the relative business of music with other colleagues in the music industry, but we are not a company, business, or official group of any kind and therefore do not make any form of profit or notoriety from this information. We all just a few people who are interested in the business side of music and try to open the proverbial closed doors of the industry to those who need the information, but there is no agenda for any type of promotion. I chose the name because I purposely didn't want to attach my name or the names of my colleagues to the account. I precisely did not want the "promotion" of which you speak. If the name violates rules, then I will gladly change it to comply.

I quote from your user page:

Musicpublisheronline is a music industry related group of individuals whose strategic goal is to create and publish information on or about music industry related people, companies, and organizations.

Parsing this, we have

a "group of individuals", i.e. you are more than one person (so WP:ORGNAME applies)
with a "strategic goal" which implies, if not stating outright, that your intention is promotional.

The act of "opening the proverbial closed doors of the industry to those who need the information" is one of the definitions of "promotion". Promotion / marketing / public relations are all just different terms for making the public aware of that which you want them to be aware but of which they are not yet aware. A laudable goal, but not Wikipedia's goal. Wikipedia exists to report on things that are already widely known, and to gather that widely known knowledge into a single place. It doesn't exist to make known that which is not yet known. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 20:22, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

John E Flood

I have moved this article to Draft:John E. Flood, where you can work on it further. You must ensure you have good coverage in sources about his radio career, otherwise the draft is likely to be declined, and ultimately deleted.
You should change your username, as at the moment it is not obvious the account is owned by one person. Click here to do so. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 15:06, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
