User talk:Capua

Note for reviewing admin (I have to recuse myself as the blocking admin). This is an email received from User:Capua -- Alexf(talk) 23:24, 28 October 2014 (UTC) - Hi Alexf,

Yes I work for Capital Market Appraisal, and Washington, DC real estate is my field of expertise — which is also the reason I am contributing to the Washington, DC neighborhood page.

I contributed an interactive map which I though would be useful to users as the current neighborhood maps can only be accessed one at a time and there is no way to remember where different neighborhoods are in relation to one another with this current system — as there are over 120 neighborhoods in Washington, DC.

''I’ve read over the contribution policy and I don’t understand why my contribution was deleted. It’s not spam, I’m not advertising, the external link is in the correct section, ect. I kindly ask that you please reconsider my contribution.''

Yes I plan on contributing to other Wiki articles but they will most likely be about real estate and or Washington, DC because that is my area of expertise (also finance) and I would not consider myself qualified to contribute to other areas.

''Unfortunately I did not read the guidelines on choosing a username and was initially blocked because I chose our company name; honestly I thought since I was contributing to this subject mater that the name would be appropriate. I thought it would benefit readers to know where the edits were coming from, it was an attempt to be transparent.''

''I have since created a new and totally ambiguous username however I am still blocked and my interactive map link contribution was removed. Please reconsider my contribution; as I am able I would like to make future contributions.'' - The user reiterates his conflict of interest on this subject. I would suggest s/he reads the Plain and Simple Conflict of Interest Guide before requesting an unblock. -- Alexf(talk) 23:24, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

Response by email: - Hi Alexf,

''I don't understand what's going on. Did you recuse yourself or did you decide you were not going to accept my contribution?''

I have read the Plain and Simple Conflict of Interest Guide and I do not believe I have violated it.

''The fact that someone is an expert in a field does not in and of itself preclude them from contributing to wiki. The would be rather odd would it not. I mean then you'd have contributions on subject matter from people who don't know much about the subject they are contributing to. lol :-)''

Sincerely,

Capua -
