User talk:CanadianEquestrianTeam

CanadianEquestrianTeam, you are invited to the Teahouse!
There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

COI
Your complete blanking of text of referenced text at Canadian Equestrian Team and Equine Canada are vandalism, and serious, multiple violations of Wikipedia community standards.

(1) You have blatantly violated WP:SELFPROMOTION policy by the fact that these are edits by the corporation Equine Canada, from the Equine Canada owned IP address 173.195.59.242, all designed to hide unflattering information about yourself, and also hide positive information about other organizations

(2) You have violated WP:PAY because these edits originate from Equine Canada's corporate office and are therefore made by Equine Canada's paid staff

(3) Your username CanadianEquestrianTeam blantantly violates WP:ORGNAME against corporate names

(4) Your only edits are for self promotion to two articles, violating WP:SPA policy against single purpose accounts

Your edits and your accounts have been reported to Wikipedia to be blocked.

This kind of blatantly unethical behavior from a taxpayer funded "national sport federation" is shameful. CanFan57 (talk) 19:04, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Sorry for the above
Sorry that we have an editor who got a little over-enthusiastic there. He/she probably did follow WP guidelines in that your edits blanked existing material, were unreferenced and appeared to be a copy and paste off the official web site. But to that end, please do read WP:COI. I collected the current policies on Wikipedia at my alternative account, User:MontOther. If you see inaccuracies or violations of our biographies of living persons policies, do bring them to our attention. Thanks. Montanabw (talk) 22:01, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "CanadianEquestrianTeam", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because It seems to be a promotional name implying shared use. Please use a name in accordance with Wikipedia's username policy. 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, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.  Mini  apolis  22:55, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

You have been blocked under the Wikipedia username policy. So, what now?
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, CanadianEquestrianTeam, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. --Shirt58 (talk) 09:59, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * So, what to do now? Please be aware that making changes (in Wikipedia jargon: "editing") to Wikipedia webpages (in Wikipedia jargon: "articles") on behalf of an organisation (in this case Canadian Equestrian Team) is against Wikipedia's policies. See what Montanabw wrote for very good explanation.
 * If you want to contribute to Wikipedia, you must contribute as yourself as a person, not on behalf of an organisation.
 * Does that make sense to you? Wikipedia's policies and guidelines are somewhat complex, and feel free to ask me any questions you may have about them.
