Please do not use Wikipedia to promote businesses, like you did in the article Schuhplattler. Wikipedia is not a trade directory. If you want to list a company for potential customers to find, please consider alternative outlets. Thank you. IsraphelMac (talk) 05:40, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Alpenplattlers. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Schuhplattler, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. IsraphelMac (talk) 06:13, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

conflict
we are a sub group of the Vancouver Alpen Club - no conflict

We are not.for profit and preserve the Austrian and Bavarian cultural art of dancing

I added us to the external link of Schuhplattler to the same capacity as all the other external links. Alpenplattlers (talk) 06:20, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

conflict
as I just read from your page, I am not in conflict. I am only one.member, but have gone to Wiki because I have be asked about this dance group several times. I will post more details regarding the history and specific types of dances that define the group. currently, I just wanted to open the account and get something down. As an external link we are integrally important as we are the only upholding the culture here in Vancouver BC and are a resource about Schuhplattler.

Name change
I realized that the account I set up is all one word. Can that be changed? or will I have to open another? I would have preferred Alpen Plattlers. thanks Alpenplattlers (talk) 06:38, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

intent
my intent is solely to define that the art of traditional schuhplattler is still being practised on Vancouver. I further want to define the style and dress (from what historical location) that we use and our history with the Vancouver Alpen Club. I shall provide references.

these that work? Alpenplattlers (talk) 16:02, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

name change
I'll chang the name to something else Alpenplattlers (talk) 16:04, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

financial gain
