User talk:APRA

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 15:22, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Your proposed username is great; you just need to read and understand these questions: 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) 07:30, 11 August 2013 (UTC)

Yes, I understood the questions above. I also informed myself about the conflict of interest in detail. Gregor at APRA — Preceding unsigned comment added by 5.10.172.122 (talk) 11:34, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Just one last step to go through, before we consider an unblock we usually like to get an idea of what editing someone intends to do Please can you give us some examples of what kind of edits you wish to make? Thanks. Spartaz Humbug! 06:57, 14 August 2013 (UTC)


 * When people from different nations talk or discuss about remanufacturing, they use different vocabulary because there are variable terms according to the country a person lives in. That obviously leads to confusing misunderstandings. I know that APRA, as the association for remanufacturing, has composed a chart that should help to standardize this vocabulary and to unify the terms. I would like to add the link to this chart for preventing misunderstandings between people. I do work for APRA, which is just an association, not a corporation. That means, APRA has a neutral view on remanufacturing. I want to make sure that I do not try to promote APRA but I have the wish to help people to talk about this theme without communication problems.

 * Linking to your own content, or your association's content, is not a good use of a Wikipedia account. If you want to help clarify misunderstandings using your knowledge, that is a good use of an account, especially if you work through talk pages and avoid conflict with other editors.  Would you agree to that? Jehochman Talk 23:07, 19 August 2013 (UTC)
