User talk:CWB Group Investor Relations

Nick-D because I am still familiarizing myself with using Wikipedia my initial intentions would be to restrict my contributions to the Talk Pages of Wikipedia articles, specifically participating by citing potential references, recommending improvements and identify out-of-date or inaccurate information. As my comfort level grows I would begin making small contributions, ( i.e. Citing references in articles). Once I develop some confidence editing Wikipedia I would make larger contributions. I expect this process to take time. I also expect to experience many more learning curves, but I assure you my intentions are for the benefit of Wikipedia and its users. With my intentions in the open I am curious about restrictions surrounding my participation on Canadian Western Bank's Wikipedia article given my conflict of interest. Is it appropriate for me to participate in the Talk page on the Article if i properly identify my conflicts of interest? Finally I would restrict my participation to Articles that fall within my profession. More specifically articles related to public relations, communications and investor relations. Through some initial research I've identified three examples, which include, Media Relations, Corporate Communications and Press Release. I appreciate your response.

 * OK, I'm unblocking you so that you can change your user name (please don't edit until this change is made). I'd also strongly encourage you to read Conflict of interest before actively editing. In regards to your question, if you really want to you can comment on Canadian Western Bank's talk page as long as you clearly identify yourself and your position at all times.

 * Can you please identify the articles you intend to work on? You're not going to be unblocked to work on articles related to your employer. Nick-D (talk) 23:09, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/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, 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. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:03, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
