User talk:Hertsbeingwell

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 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. Alexf(talk) 16:08, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

blocked user name

 * So, what is your connection with User:Hertswell and 'Hertfordshire Health and Wellbeing'? The deleted article looks very promotional to me. I'd have blocked this account with the same block the other one has got - spamusername. Peridon (talk) 19:47, 24 May 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. I do know them because they are someone else who is also wanting to develop information on health and wellbeing in hertfordshire, the county where i live. I am hoping other people will also contribute from our local population so some of them may have hert in a username too so ii hope they wont be blocked? Are you now able to unblock me and let us and others continue working on our article on health and wellbeing in hertfordshire? I am new to wiki editing so amm learning as i go along! Thank you for your help .Hertsbeingwell (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2013 (UTC)

I have seen something from an administrator called Daniel saying "I can do it over her but not over there!" .........not sure what Daniel is referring to, or whether he saw my explanation above? I want to contribute to an article about the health and wellbeing of the county where i live (hertfordshire). This article is no different to any other article about a geographic location, its history, geography etc. It is not promotional and my user name is hertsbeingwell because i contribute information,research and intelligence voluntarily to a range of online media on this topic. This cannot be against your policy as it is no different to any other wikidpedia contribution? I am sorry if i have not explained this clearly. Can you please review and unblock? thank you for your help Hertsbeingwell (talk) 12:16, 28 May 2013 (UTC)


 * I think Daniel's point was that different sites have different rules - and we are probably stricter. This place doesn't allow usernames that appear to represent organisations - and yours does. Your name is (coincidentally?) close to another user's, and they have (coincidentally?) edited the same article which had a title (coincidentally?) close to both of you. See where we're coming from? Slightly too many '(coincidentally?)s' there for comfort. Yes, we are cynical. And the article looked as if it came straight from someone's PR department - that is to say, promotional. Which we also don't allow. You'll have to do better than that, I'm afraid. Peridon (talk) 18:55, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

4 June 2013 from hertsbeingwell Just to say, the advice and explanation from JohnCD and Peridon was really helpful and I now understand what you are saying. Many thanks for taking the time to explain, as this has encouraged me to discover how i can help contribute to wikipedia in future. Great work that you are doing.
