User talk:Coffeepartyusa

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Coffeepartyusa, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to be promoting a political grouping. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. |


 * Our account is just one of many to promote our democratic and peaceful objectives. Our goal is to use this account to continue our editing of Coffee Party USA in an open and transparent way. We are acting independently of political parties, of corporations, and of political lobbying networks. Coffeepartyusa (talk) 19:07, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. I think you may be unclear about Wikipedia's objectives. We are writing an encyclopedia, and we do not permit advertising or promotion of any kind, however worthy the cause. All writing on Wikipedia must adhere to the Neutral point of view. We also very strongly discourage people from writing about organizations they represent, even if they are "open and transparent": see Conflict of interest. A username that appears to represent any organization is forbidden. Please follow the links to get the detailed policies. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:12, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * I look forward to reading Wikipedia's objectives, but we are already advertising here. It seems the only conflict of interest is in our user name. Is this the case? Coffeepartyusa (talk) 19:18, 29 March 2010 (UTC)


 * If you would like to tell us who is doing the advertising, we will go and remove it! :-) Seriously, I explained above. If you represent an organization, then please do not edit articles about that organization. Likewise please do not introduce any material that does not conform to Neutral point of view. Presumably a group committed to civil discourse would have no difficulty keeping to these policies. DJ Clayworth (talk) 19:35, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

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 few moments to create a new account with a username that represents only you. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text below this message. Thank you.

Because of your repeated use of this page for advertising, you have been blocked from editing it also. DJ Clayworth (talk) 20:24, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
