[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
- editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
- participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
- linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. — Timneu22 · talk 17:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Username blocked
[edit]Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
- What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}
below this message box. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
Koconnor001 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
Wish to change username. Also, would like to request third party to create page so as not to go against any of Wikipedia's rules. This is the first time using Wikipedia and now the rules are more clearly understood. We only wish to make useful contributions, which is why we would like to request a third party create the page. This way there are no conflicts of interest, etc.
Decline reason:
See below. Please use the appropriate unblock template as provided both above, and below, to inform us of what your new username would be. Thanks Taelus (Talk) 15:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
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.
- Good day, please use the {{unblock-spamun|NEW USERNAME|Additional Reasons}} template to inform us of what your new username would be. Additionally, once this is handled, you can find the process for requesting a page here: Wikipedia:Requested articles. Thank you for your understanding of our policies! Please note that you may use Wikipedia:Requested articles even whilst logged out, thus if this is all you wish to do on Wikipedia you may find it easier to do it that way. Hope this helps, --Taelus (Talk) 15:56, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
{{unblock-spamun|Koconnor001|Requested new username. If acceptable, will proceed to take the proper path to create an article with absence of conflict of interest.}}
- Assuming good faith that you will not continue to edit areas in which you have a conflict of interest. Please do note however, that editing areas in which you have a conflict of interest may lead to you being re-blocked. Thanks for your understanding, --Taelus (Talk) 16:14, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

The article Jerry Segal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
WP:NBIO, almost all sources are published by organizations linked to the subject little coverage by third party sources
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}}
notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
