 * I think there isn’t currently enough detail in the article. Would it be possible to expand it to at least between 1,500 - 2,000 characters? Thriley (talk) 17:26, 4 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Appreciate the recommendation and feedback. I have added information related to issues NCPA typically release surveys about as well as information related to the organization's CEO.

 * I think more information is required. Please see: Notability (organizations and companies). Are there any articles that discuss the history of the organization in depth?

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page):.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * Hi Cabayi,


 * I have submitted edits from this account regarding the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA) as an employee of that organization. More information about my employer is available here https://ncpa.org/. I am attempting to publish a basic article about NCPA on Wikipedia to help correct an SEO issue related to the organization's website.
 * A well known search engine is incorrectly pulling information from a Wikipedia post about a defunct organization (National Center for Policy Analysis at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Center_for_Policy_Analysis) who previously owned the National Community Pharmacists Association's domain name. My employer has been advised to publish their own article on Wikipedia in an effort to help correct this issue. I greatly appreciate any help you can offer.
 * Best,

 * This is insufficient cause for a Wikipedia article. If your organization is having difficulty with search results, you need to contact Google or whichever search engine it is to get them to fix the issue. An organization only merits an article if it meets our criteria, as shown by summarizing what independent reliable sources say about the organization. 331dot (talk) 21:18, 5 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Whomever advised your company, to be frank, gave it poor advice. Please read WP:BOSS, and have your superiors read it too. 331dot (talk) 21:22, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello NCPAcomm! Your additions to Draft:National Community Pharmacists Association have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.


 * 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 cite the source using an inline citation. 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. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Donating copyrighted materials.
 * 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 must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation.

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, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 22:17, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
