User talk:ClayCoPara

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

 * Learn the basics by reading the introduction and taking the tutorial.
 * Remember to sign messages on talk pages by typing four tildes ( ~ ) to automatically insert your username and the date.
 * Enjoy editing to improve articles, but try to leave an edit summary to explain what you are doing.
 * Create your first article using the Article Wizard to help avoid common mistakes, which may lead to article deletion.
 * Although you don't need to be familiar with all of Wikipedia's policies, try to keep to the core principles and basic guidelines.
 * When dealing with fellow Wikipedians, please remain polite, solve problems calmly, and remember that no-one is out to get you.
 * Get involved with the community by joining a WikiProject.
 * Make any test edits in the sandbox or click here and create a sandbox of your own.
 * If you are having difficulty, consider finding a mentor to give you more personal advice.
 * If in doubt, be bold. If you make a mistake, it can easily be reverted.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, ClayCoPara, 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).''' 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. 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 feel 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. -- Cirt (talk) 03:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
