In addition, accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing, and your username should reflect this.
Wikipedia is not a promotion website; this kind of activity is considered spam on Wikipedia, and forbidden by policies, and usernames that appear to be promotional also violate our username policy. Editing on Wikipedia is not intended to be used to promote anyone, or anything, and its use for that purpose will result in blocking of the account involved.
If you feel that there has been a mistake, please appeal this block by adding the text{{unblock|Your reason here}} below or contacting the administrator who has blocked you. Your reason should include a clear response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy. Please check that your new username has not already been taken here. Mfield (Oi!) 21:55, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
{{unblock|My mistake and I will avoid promotional offers on this site and ask a 3rd party to write a description for Platinum Interchange to avoid the conflict of interest. Please change username to jamestown99}}
Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Platinum Interchange. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Thank you. Ale_Jrbtalk 22:12, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of PlatinumInterchange
edit
A tag has been placed on PlatinumInterchange requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. andy (talk) 16:21, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Hi there.
This article was deleted because it was written in a manner that was unambiguously advertising a product, service or business - this is forbidden by our spam policy, and is one of the criteria for speedy deletion. I noticed that you were originally blocked as being strongly related to Platinum Interchange. Per our conflict of interest guideline, it is strongly inadvisable for you to create a page on it.
If the company is notable enough, someone else will create a page for it. If you continue to recreate an advertising page on Wikipedia, your account will be blocked for spam. Why not try improving an article unrelated to Platinum Interchange, in an area that you are interested in? That will help Wikipedia far more - and you might even have fun! What's more, you won't get into trouble for spamming.
If you have any more questions, please let me know on my talk page. Thanks! Ale_Jrbtalk 16:36, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
Reblocked
edit {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. In your prior unblock you agreed not to create further promotional material about your company. If your company is notable, someone else will write an article about it. Account is an single purpose account)Mfield (Oi!) 18:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)
