User talk:ICUU Executive Director

Hello, ICUU Executive Director. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people or things you have written about on Wikipedia, be careful. People close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may make them mistakenly add overly-flattering or overly-disparaging content. So please read our plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Here's a partial summary of its advice:


 * Be transparent about your conflict of interest.
 * Do not edit articles about yourself, your business, or your competitors.
 * Post suggestions and sources on the article's talk page, or create a draft in your user space.
 * Your role is to summarize, inform and reference &mdash; not to promote, whitewash, or sell.
 * If writing a draft, write without bias, as if you don't work for the company or personally know the subject.
 * Have us review your draft.
 * Work with us and we'll work with you.

Please read the whole guide. It explains how to perform the above seven steps, and provides more advice. See also our policies on conflict of interest, neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography, which everyone must follow.

Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  04:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)

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. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. 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 instead 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 prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Orange Mike &#x007C;  Talk  04:54, 12 March 2013 (UTC)
