User talk:AntiRecidivismCoalition

I am fine with you or someone else making edits to my entry and changing the account's username. I just need an accurate page for Scott up and accessible asap.

Here is what I have. What would work with your policies?

"Scott Budnick (born September 11, 1976) is an American film producer and the Founder and President of the Anti-Recidivism Coalition (ARC), a non-profit organization that provides a support network for the formerly incarcerated.

As the former Executive Vice President of Todd Phillips' Green Hat Films, Budnick produced films including Due Date, Project X, and the highest-grossing R-rated comedies in film history, The Hangover trilogy. The series grossed over $1.4 billion. Budnick also served as Associate Producer and Co-Producer on Starsky and Hutch and School for Scoundrels, respectively.

Outside of film, Budnick is a fierce advocate for social justice and a fairer judicial system. In 2003, he began volunteering with InsideOUT Writers (IOW), a program that brings creative writing into juvenile halls. He continues to teach and also sits on the organization’s Board of Directors. In 2014, Budnick founded ARC, whose mission is to reduce incarceration, improve the outcomes of formerly incarcerated individuals, and build healthier communities. ARC provides formerly incarcerated men and women with direct services such as housing, counseling, job training and opportunities, mentoring, and education. The organization also empowers and mobilizes its members to play a role in justice reform efforts through direct policy advocacy. Legislative successes include the passage of Proposition 57 (2016), which aims to strengthen California's justice system and increase public safety by expanding rehabilitation in prisons and improving the process by which youth can be tried as adults, and Senate Bills 260 (2013) and 261(2016), and Assembly Bill 1308 (2017), which, collectively, provide people who were under the age of 18 at the time of their crime an opportunity to work toward rehabilitation and the possibility of a lower sentence."

Thank you.

Regarding the article, Wikipedia content should be a summary of what reliable sources that are independent of the subject have reported about him. You didn't provide any such sources for your proposed changes and instead removed all the sources currently cited in the article. If there's something wrong in the article we'll gladly fix it; expansion won't be possible without additional sources such as newspapers or reputable magazines supporting the proposed addition.

Welcome!
Hello, AntiRecidivismCoalition, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Scott Budnick (film producer), which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 03:03, 27 February 2018 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 or request a change of username. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:20, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
