User talk:IAKS

September 2011
The article The IOC/IAKS Award has been deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. There were two reasons for this: the article appeared to be a copyright infringement of http://www.architects24.com/news/Awards_Competitions/1480-ioc-iaks-award-ipc-iaks-distinction-2011/index.html, and it appeared to be unambiguous promotion. The web page I have referred to says "© 2011 ABV Architekten und Bauherren Verlag GmbH, All rights reserved, Copy only allowed with authorization of ABV Architekten und Bauherren Verlag GmbH", so it seems improbable that the material is available for free use by anyone in the world, as required by Wikipedia's licensing terms. Alao, Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion of anything. JamesBWatson (talk) 11:10, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (IAKS) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you 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 or adding links to its website.
 * 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 guidelines concerning 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. Thank you.

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 you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. 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. Danger (talk) 16:45, 27 September 2011 (UTC)
