Your submission at Articles for creation: sandbox (March 24)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by MatthewVanitas was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to User:Chelseagreenbooks/sandbox and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your username and other issues

Hello Chelseagreenbooks. Your username does not comply with our username policy on the English Wikipedia. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Nor so we allow accounts to be shared by multiple people.

If you are a single individual please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a name that complies with our username policy. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also read very carefully the guidance at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations. If you still want to try creating an article about Chelsea Green Publishing, please read Wikipedia:Your first article very carefully.

Hello Chelseagreenbooks, me again. I've had a look around for independent sources about Chelsea Green Publishing. It is definitely notable enough for an article, and would have a lot of incoming links on Wikipedia. I think I'll create the article in the next few days. It's much better if it's created by an editor without a conflict of interest. It will be short, neutral, and properly referenced. What do you think?

Unfortunately, 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. Alexf^(talk) 15:52, 25 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
