Hello, Armyreenlistment. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Secretary of the Army’s Active Component Career Counselor of the Year Award, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * 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.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:24, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

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. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. 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. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  21:24, 17 July 2013 (UTC)

I've approved 1 of the 2 AFCs this editor has submitted. COI hasn't been a big problem here. I would recommend against unblocking but would encourage this editor to create a new userid and edit on their own behalf rather than imply they are editing for the US Army.--RadioFan (talk) 01:00, 18 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Except that all the way back to his first edits, he has only used this account to spam for army re-enlistment (including spamlinks to armyreenlistment.com). He's not here for anything but his COI edits. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  01:47, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

"Only used this account to spam for army re-enlistment"? Not sure how you get that. If it weren't for me (or any 'close connection' to the Army retention program), these pages would not have been created. I am not on wikipedia to promote/profit from anything. There is one link to the ArmyReenlistment.com facebook note page to explain the difference between a Retention NCO (Additional Duty) and a Career Counselor (schooled trained career). My intention is not to 'spamlink' anything (I can remove the one link), but to preserve our history through this online encyclopedia. I mean no ill intent here...again, I am still learning the wikipedia workspace and I embrace all that assist in my betterment. --Armyreenlistment (talk) 02:06, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I tried to 'create a new account' so as to not perceive a COI, but cannot because "Account creation from this IP address (Armyreenlistment) has been temporarily restricted." Please assist. --Armyreenlistment (talk) 04:01, 18 July 2013 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the work you're trying to do here. Please remember a few things: a) WP:COI and WP:PROMO exist even if you're not trying to make a profit; b) you cannot refer to yourself as a subject matter expert - Wikipedia relies on formal publication by other entities as reliable sources - yes, I understand you've been front-line working with this subject, but that unfortunatelty does not grant you more status regarding content, nor does it qualify as an SME (not that SME's are all that important on Wikipedia anyway); c) some of your edits border on a "how-to" guide, which is most definitely not what Wikipedia is about.
 * If it is your intent to request an unblock in order to change usernames, you would use .  As per WP:GAB, your reason would need to acknowledge the issues that have led to the block, and convince an administrator that they will not recur - that includes COI, PROMO and violations of our external links policy (✉→BWilkins ←✎) 11:06, 18 July 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Component Career Counselor of the Year, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Eighth Army (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Request for Unblock to change COI username

 * You still have not really responded to my concerns above (✉→BWilkins ←✎) 11:45, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Bwilkins, thank you for all the information and helpful links. After reading through the COI and getting more information from the Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide (this page was especially helpful and now bookmarked), I understand where I was going wrong. Although my intentions were good (in my mind), I shouldn't think of myself as a subject matter expert, but as unbiased contributor. Instead of editing some live pages, ask for help and have other editors review my draft. I need to rein in my enthusiastic passion for a particular area/subject while on this site; creating draft edits and requesting an edit is more in line with what I should be doing. Wikipedia is a large team and I was trying to do it all be myself. I will not link to social networking sites (makes sense) and I will do a better job so as some sections do not appear like a "HOWTO" reference; I will work with other contributors for better wording. If unblocked and username is changed, I'll make productive contributions and create draft edits and work with others on talk pages for assistance.--Armyreenlistment (talk) 14:50, 20 July 2013 (UTC)
 * The Wikipedia community has repeatedly reviewed the subject of "Component Career Counselor of the Year", both through the Article for Creation as well as the more stringent Articles for Deletion process, and found it did not meet the criteria for inclusion. As such, will you agree to discontinue your attempts to add this article to Wikipedia should you be unblocked? --Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:04, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

 * This page should be retained and placed in the WikiProject_Military_history category for preservation.--Armyreenlistment (talk) 12:07, 21 July 2013 (UTC)
 * See, it's that exact comment that has made it difficult to believe that you understand that articles must fit into the enclopedia FIRST (based on WP:GNG) and then sometimes be sorted into projects. We don't have "military articles" - we have "acceptable articles that relate to the military" - there is a huge difference (✉→<span style="font-family:Forte, cursive, sans-serif;color:black">BWilkins ←✎) 17:58, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
