User talk:Brisbane Institute of Strengths Based Practice

November 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Brisbane Institute of Strengths Based Practice", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent an organization. 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 by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Drm310 (talk) 04:00, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

I am hoping that I am doing right.

Brisbane Institute is a non profit organization. that is correct. Can an non profit organization not have a page here? is there some where you could move this to?

 * An organization can have an article, but only if it is notable, as Wikipedia defines notability. Since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it is selective about the topics it includes. As with all other topics, companies and organizations must be notable to be considered worthy of inclusion, as evidenced by having already received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the organization. Please note that in terms of notability, Wikipedia makes no distinction between for-profit businesses and non-profit organizations.


 * You appear to be affiliated with the organization. Writing about your own organization is considered a conflict of interest, and should be avoided. Writing about an organization should be left to other unaffiliated parties, who are more capable of writing with the required neutral point of view. Please refer to Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide and FAQ/Organizations for more detailed information.


 * Finally, you may not use a username that is also the name of your organization. Wikipedia's username policy explicity forbids this, and accounts that violate this rule are blocked from editing. To avoid this, you can request a change of username and select a username that identifies you as an individual. Usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc. --Drm310 (talk) 04:48, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Brisbane Institute of Strengths Based Practice/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your sandbox, User:Brisbane Institute of Strengths Based Practice/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages. Although you may start a draft about your company, user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Drm310 (talk) 04:51, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:41, 16 November 2016 (UTC)
