Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account if you wish, but if you would prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username  you may appeal this username block by adding the text  below this notice instead. Thank you. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 21:01, 12 February 2013 (UTC)

Your AfC submission was deleted as a copyright violation, but it also read like a manifesto, the Society telling the world about itself. That is not what an encyclopedia is for: it is not a free notice-board for organizations to post copies of their promotional literature. If unblocked, what sort of edits do you plan to make? Please answer the three key questions in the pink declined unblock request above. JohnCD (talk) 18:05, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

 * In re 2 - This is precisely what we mean. Editors with a familial, social, or financial connection to a subject should not edit about that subject for a few reasons (primarily the inability to notice one's bias). In re 3, we don't accept sources from the subject itself because the subject has an interest in making itself appear spotless, whereas independent sources will be more apt to give a balanced look at the subject. — Jeremy  v^_^v  Bori! 20:26, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
