User talk:Children's Environmental Health Network

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created User:Children's Environmental Health Network, and I noticed that your username, "Children&#39;s Environmental Health Network", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:07, 17 June 2015 (UTC) A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Children's Environmental Health Network, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 14:09, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it is representing the work of a Nationally Accredited not for profit. The Information is not trying to solicit donations but rather inform people of the work being done and promote awareness of the need for increased Children's Environmental protections. This is my first attempt at making a wiki page and I am basing what I add to this page off of what I see other not-for-profits and NGO's adding, such as the Sierra Club.

Contested deletion
The username was made to be the name of the organization that way everyone in the office would remember it and have access. This was done out of an attempt to allow us to keep the page up to date

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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, person 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. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. 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, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 14:43, 17 June 2015 (UTC)


 * The way to request a change of username is to click on WP:Changing username, read to the bottom of that page, click on "Simple", and follow the instructions. Your username may be based on your real name, or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it should not be the name of any other living person, or of any group or organization, and must represent only you as an individual. A username of the form "James at CEHN" would be acceptable, and would serve to declare your affiliation.


 * Wikipedia is not a place for companies or organizations to tell the world about themselves or "promote awareness". Even with an individual username, in any editing to do with CEHN you would have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a Conflict of interest, and should carefully read that guideline and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. In brief, you should not edit directly about CEHN, but may make suggestions or provide a draft article, using WP:Articles for creation. These rules apply to good causes as well as to commercial organizations.
