Hello HowToRock. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article How To Rock Braces and Glasses, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

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 you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of what username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you.

The block above is a soft block. It prevents you using this username or editing as an anonymous editor, but you should be able to create a new username. If there is a problem, post here (you can still edit this page, and I'm now watching it) or email again  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:52, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Block
I can't see why you can't create a new account with the current block settings. I've temporarily unblocked completely so you can set up a new account. Please do this asap, since I aim to reblock after a reasonable time  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:40, 14 January 2012 (UTC)
