Broadridge Digital Dictionary

Category:Welcome Message

Welcome to the Broadridge Digital Dictionary. A list of commonly used terms througout the life of this innovative initiative.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a business listing directory or a place for companies to tell the world about themselves. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 15:25, 22 April 2016 (UTC)


 * I am sorry to be unwelcoming, but I do not think Wikipedia is for what you want to do.


 * The immediate reason for blocking is that Wikipedia accounts are for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, so that usernames which are the names of groups or companies are not permitted. You are welcome to register a new account; your username may be based on your real name, or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it should not be the name of any other living person. A username of the form "James at Broadridge" would be acceptable, and would serve to declare your affiliation. If more than one person wishes to edit, all are welcome, but each will need their own account.


 * What you seemed to be doing on your user page was starting to compile a dictionary of technical terms. That's an interesting thing to do, but Wikipedia is not the place to do it: this is a project to build an encyclopedia, and that is all it is. It is not a webhost for other activities. Judging by the items already on the page, they are either things we already cover, e.g. the 80/20 rule at Pareto principle, or newly-invented things like your AHA system, which we do not cover for reasons explained at WP:No original research and WP:Wikipedia is not a dictionary.


 * Also, at least part of it - the 5-step process - was a clear copyright violation from this book. Wikipedia cannot host copied material - see Copying text from other sources, and I have deleted it.


 * If you do not want to use your own website, there are other places on the Internet where you could host your dictionary. You could try Wikia, which uses the same MediaWiki software, or see Alternative outlets.


 * Although compiling your dictionary is not something to do here, if you register an individual account your contributions on encyclopedic subjects will be very welcome. Here are some other pages that you might find helpful:
 * Introduction to Wikipedia
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article
 * Simplified Manual of Style
