User talk:Premier Cruises

Welcome

Hello, Premier Cruises, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you have edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then get me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that if more than one person is using this account to edit, then unfortunately it will be blocked from editing.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

I am not representing a company, group, or organization and I am not seeking to promote Premier Cruises (who went out of business in 2000). However, at one point I used to work for the company and the fact is that Premier Cruises does not have an entry in Wikipedia only Premier Cruise Line does which was a division of Premier Cruises who also owned Dolphin Cruise Line, Seawind Cruise Line and the SS Rembrandt. The current write up on Premier Cruise Line is misleading and inaccurate and the narrative of the company and should be corrected. In fact you invite people to correct the narrative since it is outdated.

I will be more than happy to provide additional details if so required.

I kindly ask you to reconsider the deletion and the blocking of the user.Premier Cruises (talk) 15:03, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks

As the administrator who blocked you, it would not be appropriate for me to review this request, and no one else is going to notice it if you do not use the {{unblock}} template as specified in the blocking message below. Thanks Beeblebrox (talk) 19:00, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Hi again. To flag an administrator to review your block, you should add {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of this page. Replace "Your proposed new username" with a name that you would like to edit under which does not violate our username policy and is not already taken. Your reason should be a restatement of what you just wrote above. I hope this helps. Them From Space 19:03, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I have re-created your user page, but I don't think you are going to like it. See Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Premier Cruises. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:49, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

October 2009

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use 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 Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals here, you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on 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}} below this message box.
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.
