User talk:Helpfoundation

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 or company.

There are two issues with this:
 * 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.
 * Your account cannot represent a group of people, as your username suggests. There must be a single person responsible for the edits made under a single account. To resolve this problem, you should change your username to one that represents you individually.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

 * May I add a welcome and explain some more? You tried to add Help Foundation to a list. The rules here are that to be included in a list it first has to have its own article. Although you cannot start an article if you have a conflict of interest you can help to gather the information for an article and then we will help with the article for you. First, find a couple of proper news articles (not adverts, proper media outlets) discussing the foundation. This will help to estabish it is notable. Then find a reasonable source describing what it does (if it is a registered charity in a western country then there will be some sources associated with its registration). When you have these put them here (I will watch this page) and we will try to write an article so you can start be included in lists. It is not a hollow offer, I have helped a whole series of charities get started on WP. --BozMo talk 12:03, 17 October 2009 (UTC)

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 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. Thanks.
