User talk:DioceseofHamilton

July 2013
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. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. 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. Alexf(talk) 15:28, 25 July 2013 (UTC)

How does X work?
How can I change my user name to a new user name?? DioceseofHamilton (talk) 20:03, 25 July 2013 (UTC)


 * In the request to unblock template that you added just change where it says "user name" near the beginning, to the name you want to use. Your new name should comply with the User name policy.  Alternately you can just abandon this account and register a new user name. —     Bill W.     (Talk)  (Contrib)  — 20:21, 25 July 2013 (UTC)
 * P.S. The edits you made with this user name will not be removed automatically due to the blocking. Also please not that both the templates above and my message contain many links to policies and articles that will be useful to you in navigating this issue and continuing to edit Wikipedia. —     Bill W.

Questions
Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Bjelleklang -  talk 13:33, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Use unblock-un. And answer the questions below under "questions".

It is not my intention to violate any of the principles in the questions above but simply to update the information your article already provided.
 * I underrstand and agree that Wikipedia is not a busines directory
 * I will change my username to avoid any conflict of interst
 * I understand the subject for the article must be notable I am not trying to submit a new article but to simply update the information already provided

Thanks

 * It's not just your username that holds a potential CoI, but also the types of articles you want to contribute to. As you write above: "I will be the person doing the updates for my organization". For me this sounds like you don't really understand the concept of CoI and how it applies to articles. If unblocked, how do you plan to handle this? Bjelleklang -  talk 10:25, 29 July 2013 (UTC)
