User talk:Benisiproject

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 17:29, 4 November 2013 (UTC)

Dear Wikipedia Administrator, The account and username ‘Benisiproject’ have been blocked on Monday, November 4, because they have been considered “intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes”. We understand why you should say that the article has a promotional resonance, and we are sorry to have caused you troubles, but you should know that we are definitely not trying to promote the project for commercial reasons; we are not doing this (the project and the article) for the money but rather to enable the deepening of the research on the subject, where we need to identify interesting examples of social innovations for research reasons; BENISI tries to analyze social innovation. Since this is a research project that is completely financed by public funds (European Commission’s FP7 research program), the idea is not to attract social enterprises but just to explain the concept to them. It is actually the European Commission itself that has asked us to create de Wikipedia article, because Social Innovation is of public interest and aims at improving social life by small actions. Unfortunately it is little known by people in general. The methodology foresees a wide spread of information in order to have a maximal reach. And we do it through: events, social media, contact of 12 project partners, Wikipedia, etc. Indeed, Wikipedia is often the first website people visit when they want some info about a subject, organization, object, person, etc. The article is not meant to be any find of publicity for the project, but rather an explanation; of course the text can be modified in order to appear less promotional. The point of this Wikipedia article is to describe the BENISI project in the simplest and clearest way, so that people would understand the concept. About the username: We know that it is strongly recommended not to use a username that may sound promotional (even more since the user writes an eponymous article) but it is just to make things easier for the other people involved in the project (partners and all) to connect to the account and make some modifications when needed. As it seems to be the procedure in this kind of situation, we propose another username but it remains similar to the previous one for the reason above-mentioned.

You can visit our website, if you have any doubt: http://www.benisi.eu But perhaps the easiest way to avoid any additional problems of this kind would be to ask someone of the Wikipedia team to help us and support us during the developing the article, if you allow us to publish it again.

Best regards, The BENISI Team.
