Suggestions on improving Pritchard Englefield, and Transparency awareness
[edit]Greetings, you have some formatting issues associated with your article Pritchard Englefield, as you may note by the "tags" applied to the top. You also appear to be associated with the article, so for transparency I've filed the page as "be aware of conflict of interest" - note that this is not at all punitive, just a measure for the readers' and other editors' awareness. I would also strongly advise you file a Wikipedia:COI declaration for the sake of transparency, to ensure that nobody can accuse you of attempting to deceptively manage your PR. You probably want to read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest as well to get a feel for what kind of editing is and is not acceptable for an involved party.
So far as improving your formatting, feel free to shoot me a line for any advice, and/or drop by the Teahouse to speak with a volunteer mentor:

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Pritchard Englefield London", 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, 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. NTox · talk 00:22, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).
A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.
You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
- Adding
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. – Connormah (talk) 04:33, 21 September 2012 (UTC)Here's 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 encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?
You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a subject that you are trying to create an article about, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to break the 3 important questions above. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 09:55, 21 September 2012 (UTC)

Converting to Infobox
[edit]Greetings, you currently have some statistics about the business in a "wikitable", but the format was rather off so I turned it into "hidden text" only seen while editing. What you want to do is copy Template:Infobox company to your page, and fill out its entries. Note: on such a template, do not change/rephrase any entries, just add in your info. If, for example, where it says "Infobox company" you change it to say "Infobox bank", the template will stop working right. For an example of the template in use, see Bank of America. Hope this helps! MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:05, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
Orphaned non-free media (File:Pritchard Englefield Logo.tif)
[edit]Thanks for uploading File:Pritchard Englefield Logo.tif. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:34, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
