User talk:Ashley Associates

Welcome!
Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style
 * Naming conventions
 * How to write a great article

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

If you need help, you can check the help pages or ask at the Help desk, add a question to the village pump, or look in Questions, Also, you can go to the New contributors' help page, read over the Help manual, ask me on my talk page, or place helpme on the bottom of your talk page and ask your question there. Finally, If you would like help now, please feel free to pop into the live help chat, with this or this. Again, welcome! Avic ennasis @ 10:25, 2 Elul 5771 / 10:25, 1 September 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Ashley Associates) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it violates WP:GROUPNAME. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 10:37, 1 September 2011 (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 you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- The Anome (talk) 18:48, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
