Our conflict of interest policy[edit]

Hello, Locks1windsorterrace. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 12:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (November 12)[edit]

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

The proposed article does not have sufficient content to require an article of its own, but it could be merged into the existing article at Locks Brasserie. Since anyone can edit Wikipedia, you are welcome to add that information yourself. Thank you.

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.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Locks1windsorterrace/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Locks and Locks Brasserie.[edit]

Hi, I was pointed at your draft about Locks. Unfortunately, that restaurant is not notable as it has no track record. As Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, we only describe "things" that are already known. based on the advice given to you, I have merged the info into the article Locks Brasserie, a restaurant that is (or better was) notable due to the Michelin star. Unfortunately, it is not much more than the name of the restaurant and the chef plus a source. That is the best I can do you you. I wish you good luck with the company!

Block[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising service. If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 kind of 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. Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 16:38, 14 November 2015 (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:

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

Request reason:

My apologies, I was writing on behalf of this company but I wasn't writing for promotion, "free advertising" or other wise. You will see from my first submission that I wrote a couple of lines about the re-opening of the restaurant, under new ownership, and backed it up with reliable, unbiased sources, stating the name of the new restaurant and who the new owners are. I wrote in a completely unbiased way and I believe there has been a misunderstanding. I would appreciate an unblock, and am happy to change my username if that's what needs to be done. I am very new to Wikipedia so please excuse me if I did something wrong. I won't repeat the edits again if I am to be unblocked. Thank you for your time.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline due to no response to questions in over 3 days. PhilKnight (talk) 22:59, 23 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

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" 13:01, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
