If content on this page is not authorized or created by the owners of the company then it is spam. This site has been compromised.

You clearly don't know what talkpages are for, or anything about wikiquette (it's impolite to blank other's posts unless they are offensive or against wikipedia guidelines), and by your recent edits of Salt Spring Coffee Co. are completely clueless about WP:COI. YOu should also read WP:Own and WP:What Wikipedia is not. I'm restoring my warnings to you about breaking wikipe3dia guidelines, and will be reporting this to the administrators' notice board. You are what's called a WP:SPA and also clearly are engaging in COI activity; which includes trying to advertise your company by using Wikipedia as if it were adspace; read WP:Spam. Companies have NO RIGHT to control pages about themselves; quite the OPPOSITE.Skookum1 (talk) 01:29, 31 March 2010 (UTC)Reply
Here's what you deleted of my previous warnings to you

Please note the WP:COI template and WP:SPAM warning on top of this article, which you seem to have misconstrued as a platform for company promotion - which Wikipedia is meant to be anything but. See WP:What Wikipedia is not for starters. In reviewing the article's history I also noticed this edit, which your edit comment said "deletion of material not submitted by the company". Actually, material submitted by the company should NOT be in the article at all (COI="conflict of interest"). I note other sections e.g. one titled "Controversy" which you also deleted, with the blatantly COI edit comment "This page is assigned for a company description and historical background as placed here by the company itself". You clearly have no idea what Wikipedia is for, or what its inclusion/content guidelines are, nor do you have respect for contributions made by others than yourself. Myself I see no reason for this article to exist at all; despite the long list of local news-media and industry-media references, unless there is a major news story or a notable owner or some such, WP:Notability is not satisfied, though apparently User:Maclean25 disagrees with me. But just be aware Wikipedia articles are not platforms for company promotion and corporate trivia. They reflect importance and notability and are not places to create that....Skookum1 (talk) 16:31, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Conflict of interest and vandalism history

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Salt Spring Coffee Co., you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. --Orange Mike | Talk 12:50, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

I am clearly a person who has misunderstood how Wiki entries work. I see where I went wrong and will not do this again but rather, I will provide useful contributions in support of the values and rules set out by Wikipedia. I respectfully request that my block be removed and I would like to have my account completed deleted and any reference of my activity on this site removed from the Wiki system as I do not wish my interaction here to be made public for privacy reasons. I can be contacted directly at ctremewen@telus.net if you wish to communicate directly.

Decline reason:

I am unclear on what you are asking us. As to the request to "delete" your account, that is impossible. The best we can offer is to delete your user talk page (this page) in one month provided that you remain indefinitely blocked and are simply planning to leave Wikipedia. Another option, one exclusive from the first, is that you want to be unblocked. To the extent that is the case, I am declining it due to your history of non-neutral editing in an area where you have a clear conflict of interest. If you want to be unblocked, I see no reason why the standard second chance that we extend to all editors would not be appropriate. For more on that, see Template:2nd chance. It would need to be an article outside of your are of conflict of interest. Please read our guide to appealing blocks for more information. Chaser (talk) 02:14, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

Please be advised that I resigned from Salt Spring Coffee Company and wish to be unblocked for Wikipedia - I have a much better idea as to the nature of the process and methodology behind the priciples of Wikipedia's protocols and will conform accordingly

Decline reason:

This is not convincing and does not address the reason for your block. Read WP:GAB, please.  Sandstein  20:52, 5 January 2011 (UTC)
