[edit] Hello, I'm Excirial. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Reynolds, Smith & Hills seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 19:12, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
Reynolds, Smith and Hills page
[edit]Hi, You removed my edits I made to this page yesterday. I work for the company and was updating our page and history so it was ACCURATE, it was very outdated, and now that you removed my edits, it is outdated again. I am going to go back and make the edits again, I would appreciate if you would leave them this time.
Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by RS&H1941 (talk • contribs) 12:32, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
- The edits made were reverted because they were promotional - adding the same promotional content again would result in another removal (If not by me another editor would likely revert them using the same rationale). Additionally i would point out that editing an article you are closely related to is strongly discouraged as you have a conflict of interest in that case, which makes it nigh impossible to write neutral, encyclopaedic content regarding that subject. Finally I would also strongly encourage reading the FAQ for businesses. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 13:46, 23 April 2014 (UTC)

- Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
- What can I do now?
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}
on your user talk page. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Excirial (Contact me,Contribs) 13:08, 26 April 2014 (UTC)
