User talk:EuroHealthNet

Welcome!
Hello, EuroHealthNet, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 15:14, 11 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi there

Thank you very much for you help! I am new to wikipedia so need it. I do indeed work for Eurohealthnet, and had that user name in order to be transparent over any conflicts of interest. I read on the conflicts of interest page that "Employees at cultural and academic institutions: We want experts editing Wikipedia articles. Merely being employed by an institution is not a conflict of interest". As EuroHealthnet is a partnership of research institutions and public health bodies across Europe, strongly focused on disseminating evidence in the field of health inequality. Is this account still in conflict?

I will go ahead and try and change my username to assistent@EuroHealthNet.

Thank you for you helpful comment, and please continue to guide me.EuroHealthNet (talk) 09:31, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

A cup of coffee for you!
Hi there. Thanks for your concern. I am new to Wikipedia so please be patient :). I am indeed an assistant at EuroHealthNet, an independent association of public health bodies across Europe. Most of our research is undertaken at the European level, so not regional per se. All of the additions/ammendments are based on published peer reviewed research and have been cleared with our academic partners and experts. I only seek to disseminate the research that our partners have done that is relevant/advances the information on the Wiki page. I believe I was careful in not adding in niche information to a generalist page, and if so it would only serve as an example of action on the topic. Please let me know if this is insufficient/inappropriate.

Thank you again for your time and help, and for the coffee. EuroHealthNet (talk) 09:12, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
 * You are blocked now. Email me if you want to talk about contributing more. If you can meet for video chat I will give you a tour of Wikipedia's health information.
 * The block came because Wikipedia only allows personal accounts, not group or organizational accounts. This is a volunteer community so people here talk with individuals, and not with organizations.
 * Someone has said that you placed copyrighted text in Wikipedia. Wikipedia cannot publish information which violates a copyright. Other concerns could be addressed if you are interested in talking. Thanks.  Blue Rasberry   (talk)  13:40, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello EuroHealthNet, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your addition to Chronic condition has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and a cited source. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 09:37, 12 June 2015 (UTC)

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. 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. Randykitty (talk) 13:06, 12 June 2015 (UTC)
