User talk:BCCF COD

July 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Berks County Community Foundation, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "BCCF COD", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 20:45, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Hello and thank you for the message. I have changed my username to CODfish2112, but I am the current communication/marketing intern at the Berks County COmmunity Foundation--updating the wikipedia page is one of my assignments. I understand the conflict of interest and will stop if necessary, but will the page be deleted? Thank you.
 * The page will stay as it is right now. I suggest that you tell your boss that your time must be spent on other activities.  Editing about something with which you are connected is strongly discouraged.  You'll have a hard time getting content to stick unless you are very careful about citing sources and adding neutral content.  It's mostly not worth the effort.  -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 21:06, 1 July 2013 (UTC)

Aw, shucks. Well, thank you very much for letting me know!

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 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. Alexf(talk) 14:20, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
