User talk:Dykemanassociates

August 2010
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. - Mcmatter (talk|contrib) 17:07, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

According to their website, "Dykeman Associates, Inc. is a full-service advertising, public relations and marketing firm. The firm helps clients with the creation, implementation and maintenance of positive programs to show bottom-line results." They are not in the business of impartiality, neutrality, truth or veriability. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  18:59, 17 August 2010 (UTC)

Is this acceptable?

I don't see a problem with the suggested name. But please note the following... Here's a few key questions: You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a subject that you are trying to create an article about, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to break the 3 important questions above.  Ron h jones (Talk) 20:33, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * 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 encylopedia article, the subject must be considered to be notable?

Yes, I understand that. I will try to submit an article that adheres more directly to your guidelines and have an editor review it beforehand. I think my poor choice in username only heightened and magnified the problems of the article, and I would like the chance now to correct them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dykemanassociates (talk • contribs) — Dykemanassociates (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * It appears that the only purpose for which you want to be here is to write an article about this non-notable person regarding whom you have a conflict of interest. What if you were unblocked only on the condition that you refrain from writing about Nordgren or anybody else connected to Dykeman Associates (whether as client or family member)? -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  15:38, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

At the moment, yes that was my original intent, but editing future articles was not out of the question. I think those terms are reasonable. I agree to them.
