User talk:EventmastersLimited

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, 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 this 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. Widr (talk) 09:18, 17 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I innocently used the company name not realising the policy in place. I have no issue with my username being changed.

Decline reason:

It is perfectly clear that your purpose in editing was to use Wikipedia to publicise your company, i.e. for promotion. It is also clear from what you have written below that you are likely to do the same again. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 15:28, 20 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I was just looking to add a genuine entry confirming that Richard was our Horse Racing ambassador for the 2016 Cheltenham National Hunt Festival. There was a section for brand ambassador with an entry for betway. We have a similar entry on Tony McCoy's page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tony_McCoy). I don't believe this is promotion as it is reflecting an event that has already passed.EventmastersLimited (talk) 08:49, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Well of course it's promotional. You work for a company and you added content to an article with a goal to help your company's reputation. That the definition of promotion. I'll unblock you if you agree not to make any promotion edits in the future. You would be able, of course, to propose edits on talk pages. Vanjagenije (talk) 21:54, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
