OK, that's better. But Chris, are you employed by the U of R or just a student there? And, especially if the former ...
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?
You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 17:50, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
I am employed by the University, and I believe that I understand these principles. Thus far I have only updated statistics for the University site for which the University is the primary (and for the most part the only) source, and similar statistics for products that we use. This does not appear to be inappropriate, and if I end up taking larger editorial steps, I will be sure to consider these rules carefully.University of Rochester IR (talk) 18:08, 24 September 2014 (UTC)
