User talk:AllBuffs

September 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "AllBuffs", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. NTox · talk 19:34, 28 September 2012 (UTC)

Reply - AllBuffs refers to the fact is am University of Colorado fan (our players are the Buffaloes, or Buffs for short). I have read the conflict policy and understand it, if you will check the links I have submitted in the final versions of my edits for these CU football greats you will see I have linked primarily to the university's official website, as well as: rivals, scout, espn, and the university of nebraska's website.

Unfortunately the University of Colorado does a very poor job updating and supporting the digital persona's of its athletes and coaches and from time to time I get bored at work and update a couple to better detail their success at our university.


 * Hi there. Thanks for your reply. There is a record that shows that you added a link to the website allbuffs.com. Since that is a pretty specific name, and does not appear to be a name an individual fan would use who is not associated with the website, I posed the above message. Can you elaborate more on that point? Does your Wikipedia username represent the name of that website? NTox · talk 23:03, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I chose the user name because when I was googling info regarding these players they seemed to have a lot of it. I wanted an anonymous user name rather than one that might track to my actual name since updating wikipedia entries for my favorite team is not in my job description and i get paranoid.  I also linked them first (prior to reading the conflict policy) because they had a significant entry on Jimmy Smith - once the tool blocked me I sourced the information from new places and re-submitted the entry.


 * Thanks. In cases like these, it's usually a judgement call about whether or not you should get the name changed. What we're mostly concerned about is people who operate the website editing on behalf of the website. Since that does not seem to describe you, there's some gray area. Getting your name changed (by following the instructions at the top of this page) may avoid more queries, but I'll leave that up to you. Have a good one. NTox · talk 19:15, 2 October 2012 (UTC)
