Here are a few key questions:
- Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
- Do you understand conflict of interest?
- Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

Daniel: Hi, sure, I understand all of those above, and as long as i make it notable, without a conflict of interest and not comercial we should not have a problem, should we? Please do understand that I am only human and a relatively young adult; I'm quite new to all this wikipedia article writing. I'll give the article another look and try to make it as non-comercial as possible once I'm unlocked but, in any case, if I do summit an article that doesn't fit that description it will be denied once again right? So as long as i'm clear of what my article should and shouldn't be I would be free to keep editing right? Kind Regards Karlisle
- Karlisle, I think you need to re-read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. The gist of that guideline is that the editing of articles regarding subjects to which one is closely related is strongly discouraged. If you were to gain your username change, in all likelihood your COI would prevent you from creating or substantially editing the ARLab article. Tiderolls 23:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)

Explanation
[edit]1. This is promotional: it is addressed to the prospective buyer, even saying repeatedly : "you ... "
2. There is no evidence of notability. Notability must be proven by references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. Normally for software, these are substantial reviews.
As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.
However, since the name you have used includes or refers to the subject of the article, you must choose another username. As explained in WP:USER, only individuals may edit. When you have a username that is or includes the name of your organization, you imply that you are editing officially, and have a superior right to edit the page. But that is not the way WP works--all editors are considered equal--and your contributions like those of any editor must be justified by sources. I'm sure you do not intend to give such impression, but that's why we have the rule. Therefore, please choose another name. On that user page, you should disclose your conflict of interest..

Hello KarlisleKrossKross. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled ARLAb.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 14:00, 6 December 2013 (UTC)
