User talk:Thaiprivateeye

==User:Thaiprivateeye=={{hangon}} -warn-userpage --> Calton | Talk 13:41, 4 August 2009 (UTC) I am finding it difficult to contact 'Carlton' - and a previous administrator who flagged my information has now retired ? Unfortunately when I created an account, I used an old yahoo mail from my former company, Thai Private Eye. This [ apart from being one of the best known Investigation Companies in S.E.Asia ] is also the Title of a book I wrote, - along with Confessions of a Bangkok Private Eye. My name/Books/website <www.warrenolson.com> are commonplace in bookstores/google etc, so I had planned to add/edit some relevant detail on wiki at times. Can/should I change my user name ? - regards.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Because your account was used for promotion of a company, group, product or organization with a username that promotes or implies affiliation with the aforementioned. This includes, but is not limited to:

adding promotional/favorable content about something you are affiliated with

.

Use of Wikipedia for promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones) is considered

Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest

for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions 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|Your reason here}} below this message box.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
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.

If instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Wikipedia:Appealing a block for more information. – B.hotep •talk• 14:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Apologies if something is wrong - I have written a number of books and am asked daily for quotes/information on the subject of epistemology as it relates to investigations worldwide. The company I formed many years ago Thai Private Eye now has nothing to do with me personally, I sold it 5 years ago, but is a recognized internation investigation company and hence the reason I wrote a few details about it. Warren Olson. m.s.s.

Decline reason:

This account cannot be unblocked, since it has the name of a business, which is against the rules. If you'd like to create a personal username, you're welcome to do so, but make sure you avoid

writing about yourself or businesses with which you are closely connected. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:48, 23 August 2009 (UTC)[reply

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.
