User talk:HagenandPartners

March 2018

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Wikipedia:Help desk. 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.

Blocked

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Ian.thomson (talk) 20:42, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

In response to your email

This account was blocked because:

"HagenandPartners" is the name of a company, which indicates that the account was created by employees of the company and is probably shared. We don't allow any of that for a variety of reasons (see WP:ORGNAME WP:NOSHARE, WP:NOTPROMO, and WP:COI).
The only post you made confirms clear that this account was created to make people aware (i.e. promote) the company. It doesn't matter if you somehow imagine that it wasn't promotional, we know better. If there is an article about another company on here with that format (especially one created by anyone involved in the company), please let us know so we can delete it.

Wikipedia is not a place for companies to make or work on pages about themselves. Our articles are created by individual volunteers with little to no connection to the subject, who cite multiple professionally-published mainstream academic or journalistic sources that are independent of the subject.

Emailing me will do no good, you need to appeal your block on here. You can do this by clicking the "edit" button at the top of any section, or even the top of the page. Sign your posts with four tildes (~~~~), and then click "Save page" down at the bottom of the edit window.
