User talk:Attachment Parenting International

March 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Attachment Parenting International", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because usernames must be registered to individuals, not organizations. 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 for editing. Thank you. P. D. Cook Talk to me! 01:34, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I received your e-mail. The easiest thing to do would be to click here to create a new account. The username does not have to reflect your personal name, but it should not be named after the organization with which you are affiliated. It would also be a good idea to check out Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Regards, P. D. Cook  Talk to me! 15:00, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

Hello, Attachment Parenting International. 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 Attachment parenting, you should consider our guidance on Conflicts of interest and take a look at the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

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. -- Trevj (talk) 06:17, 14 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Thanks. This user and I have exchanged emails. I'd have thought that a change of username would have been preferable, but it's done now so never mind. -- Trevj (talk) 14:50, 15 March 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. 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 below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer instead 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 prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 13:32, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
