Hello, Nell Lebreton. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. The page User:Nell Lebreton/sandbox/Kilgour was unambiguous marketing copy, so it has been deleted. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:39, 11 February 2019 (UTC)

Many people who edit Wikipedia initially come here with mistaken impressions as to the nature of Wikipedia, and therefore some of their early edits do things which are not compatible with Wikipedia policy. I did so myself when I started editing, and I do not blame anyone else for doing likewise. However, when an editor has been informed of aspects of their editing which are unacceptable, and they then continue in the same way, that is a different situation. You have continued to edit not only in violation of Wikipedia's policy on promotional editing, but also in violation of the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use, by failing to declare editing as part of paid work, as you have been told is necessary. You have also created a promotional page which included a significant amount of text identical to text which you knew had previously been deleted because it did not conform to Wikipedia's requirements.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because it is clear that you are here not to contribute to building the encyclopedia, but to use Wikipedia for promotion, which, as you know, is contrary to Wikipedia policy. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of this page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
