Cheryl at Faire Leather Co

Welcome!

Hello, Faire Leather Co, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

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

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

November 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Conflict of interest

Welcome to Wikipedia. I see you created an article, User:Cheryl at Faire Leather Co/sandbox on a company you are associated with. Please read our Conflict of interest guidelines. Best practice is not to create articles on your own company but if you do it is strongly suggested that you go through Wikipedia's Articles for creation process. If your article is accepted it is also strongly suggested that you limit your contributions to making suggestions and providing sources on the article talk page and refrain from editing the article directly.

If you are an employee of the company or otherwise compensated for your edits you must make certain disclosures , per Wikipedia's paid editing policy.

Please feel free to contact me on my talk page or {{ping}} me ({{ping|Jbhunley}}) from any talk page. Jbh ^Talk 04:55, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

General note on Wikipedia's notability requirements

Wikipedia has policies and guidelines on what is appropriate to include in the encyclopedia. For articles the most important thing to be done is establish notability. For this we have out general notability guidelines which in short require significant coverage of the subject in independent, reliable sources. There are also various specific notability guidelines which give additional, usually easier to meet, criteria to establish notability. In this case those are the specific notability criteria for companies. If an article subject meets our notability criteria an article can be kept but it is not required to be kept. If the subject does not meet those criteria than there may not be an article on that subject included in Wikipedia. We do not make any judgement about the subject's importance or contribution to society we only judge if there has been enough coverage in independent, reliable sources to allow us to write an informative and neutral article.

To write an article you should first find three independent reliable sources, like articles in major newspapers, widely circulated magazines etc that give significant coverage to the subject. Significant coverage usually means several paragraphs that talk about the subject. These sources must have strong editorial control, have a reputation for fact checking and accuracy and be by third parties who are completely independent of the article's subject ie no press releases or other promotional/advertising material. You should also read this page about writing your first Wikipedia article before you get started. Jbh ^Talk 04:55, 21 February 2018 (UTC)

This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Alexf^(talk) 11:52, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi Athaenara, I understand that you have blocked me on the basis of conflict of interest and advertisement, on top of the lack of indication as to why the page I created, "Faire Leather Co.", should be an entry in Wikipedia. I acknowledge that I neglected to exercise objectivity, and included direct quotations from sources praising the company. I would like to request that you kindly unblock me as I assure you that my future contributions will not be biased in tone, nor will they include citations that contain advertisement. I will also ensure that my tone is completely factual, like how existing pages about companies sound. I seek your understanding to allow me to contribute to Wikipedia, thank you very much! Cheryl at Faire Leather Co (talk) 07:29, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Based on your promotional editing, your repeated recreation of the same article in defiance of a community deletion decision, your violation of Wikipedia's Terms of Use in the form of undisclosed paid editing, and your complete lack of interest in writing about anything else, I am declining your appeal. The only way you are likely to be unblocked is if you agree that you will never write about Faire Leather - or related topics - on Wikipedia again. If you aren't interested in writing about any other topics, please go somewhere else. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:36, 19 June 2018 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
