User talk:Harperone

May 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.The article in question is HarperCollins‎. Thank you. -- Rrburke (talk) 01:07, 26 May 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.

What if I change the username to MollyHarperOne? I would like to show that I represent an imprint of HarperCollins called HarperOne rather than pose as someone who is not affiliated with the publishing house. That seems worse.

The HarperCollins page includes the HarperOne imprint but does not link out to our microsite that is part of HarperCollins.com. I noticed that other imprints on the HarperCollins page have live links out to their sites and merely wanted to include ours. You will notice that the link I posted is the actual link to the HarperOne website and not directly promotional. People interested in learning more about our books will find relevant information at that destination.

Would starting a Wikipedia page for the HarperOne imprint of HarperCollins which specifically publishes books on religion, spirituality, wellness and personal growth be okay? Harperone (talk) 21:27, 8 June 2010 (UTC)HarperOne
