Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. WilliamH (talk) 16:45, 10 November 2010 (UTC)


 * Hello! You'll have to read the link above to determine exactly how you need to attribute the information, but in general a flat copy & paste won't do as the wording is unlikely to be neutral/encyclopedic. (In actuality your data above "history" can be re-added in as it was, but it was easier (for me) to just undo the whole edit -- I have 6500+ articles under review, and it's hard/impossible to fix everything for everybody.) That said, the timeline is a problem in general since it includes extraneous data and is uncited. For example:


 * "1963: Frederick J. Flynn, M.D., is appointed Clinical Director of Pediatric Services as the hospital begins to add more pediatric specialty programs" -- who is this person, and why does this factoid matter? That none of the names are wikilinked is also a problem -- how do we know if these people are notable?
 * 1981: The Gait Analysis Laboratory, the first of its kind in the nation, opens at Newington. -- that's great, but what is it?
 * 1994: In November, ground is broken on Washington Street in Hartford for construction of a $90 million children’s hospital. (John Menichetti had stepped down as President and CEO in August and taken medical leave. He died in January of 1995 of cancer.) Should be rewritten to remove everything in, since John Menichetti is not notable (Notability (people)).
 * This has the possibility of becoming a very good article, but it's going to take a bit of work to get it there. If you need any further clarifications, please just ask! Best, Markvs88 (talk) 16:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * PS - For what it's worth, I had nothing to do with this block. Markvs88 (talk) 16:59, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I am the administrator that blocked you, and have no prejudice against unblocking you if you are willing to change your username to one that doesn't suggest you are editing on behalf of a group, organization or website to whom it is more important to advance the interests of, than those of Wikipedia, and that any future edits you make relating to your company, group, or organization are within the limitations of the conflict of interest guideline.
