User talk:CarnegieFoundation

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. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you 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 and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  19:19, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Well, I was going to explain how you could change your username, but then this happened. As noted, use unblock-un to propose a new username so we can unblock you to do it. You might want to, as recommended above, read the username and the conflict-of-interest best-practices policies first. Daniel Case (talk) 19:22, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

Hi- So let me see if I understand: I cant or I shouldn't edit/suggest content for my companies page? And if so how do I about requesting that other unbiased contributors do so? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CarnegieFoundation (talk • contribs) — CarnegieFoundation (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Once you've got an account with an acceptable name, you are welcome to suggest improvements to the article on its talk page, as long as you fully disclose your own conflict of interest when you do so. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  20:09, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The pageCarnegie Foundation is actually a disambiguation page though, so it depends on which exact article you wish to edit.Theroadislong (talk) 20:18, 10 January 2013 (UTC)


 * The edtior explained at the Help Desk that he is an intern with the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. Based on his admission that he has "been tasked with updating our page", I strongly suggest that he follow the guidance above and never edit the article due to his blatant conflict of interest. I have no doubt that the editor means well and is simply following the instructions of his supervisors, but he (and they) should be fully aware that saying the article is "our page" and "my companies page" is wrong. It is Wikipedia's page, so the editor's employer has absolutely no control or authority over it. By the way, it's "company's", not companies. --76.189.103.146 (talk) 21:48, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

I uploaded a new image for you. It can't go on commons because the new one is copyright. The colour is off and it seems a little wide. Can you provide a link to a better image on my talk page or the help desk and I can replace it for you. File:Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching logo.png is the file.--Canoe1967 (talk) 22:53, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
