User talk:Health Promotion

This is the discussion section...

Thanks for the warning but i am not sure that you fully understand what I am testing this space for. Health Promotion is not a marketing vehicle but a University group that promotes healthy living on the University campus. I am trying to determine if this is a good space for collaboration on our educational outreach initiatives. --Health Promotion (talk) 15:09, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * That is good news about not being a marketing vehicle, but there's still bad news -- this is not the place to promote anything. This is an encyclopedia, not a promotional platform.  As I understand your description, you are not using Wikipedia correctly. Please be aware that your account could be blocked if you use this project space for anything other than encyclopedic purposes.  Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 15:12, 3 October 2008 (UTC)


 * As an uninvolved editor on WP, while Wikipedia would be more than happy to have any contributions that are adding to any of the health related articles, or even new articles in any capacity, just keep in mind that the pages must uphold WP:NPOV and also, the articles and contributions must be encyclopedic. Also, "role" acounts (Such as accounts that are a group of editors using a single account) are frowned upon, but not prohibited.  Enjoy editing, and looking forward to all the contributions that will be forthcoming. Paranormal Skeptic (talk) 15:38, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Please be careful
Hello! If I may, I would strongly recommend that you not use Wikipedia as a promotional and marketing vehicle. This is an encyclopedia project, not a sales platform. I am concerned, based on the text on your User Page, that you may be going in a direction that will lead to the blocking of your account. I would recommend looking at the links below to show you how you can make a positive contribution to this project. Cheers! Ecoleetage (talk) 14:59, 3 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy for the following reason: it is promotional in nature. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.
