Your username
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed your username, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's username policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here?

I'd appreciate learning your own views, for instance your reasons for wanting this particular name, and what alternative username you might accept that avoids raising this concern.

You have several options freely available to you:
 * If you can relieve my concern through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If the two of us can't agree here, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's dispute resolution process, such as requesting comments from other Wikipedians. Wikipedia administrators usually abide by agreements reached through this process.
 * You can keep your contributions history under a new username. Visit Changing username and follow the guidelines there.

Hi Ryan,

We talked to JlaTondre about our page being promotional, but got that straightened out. But then another admin, Philippe, took down our page again. We have yet to hear back from him. Basically, IHEP is not looking to gain clients or anything of that nature. As a think tank, we need to be avaiable to students and researchers looking to know about what kind of research we do and our publications in order to strenghten the academic community concerning higher education. Many of our peers, such as the Brookings Institution, have their own Wikipeida page for the same reasons we would like one-- not to promote themselves but as a legitamate addition to the academic community. Does this help? (Institute for Higher Education Policy 13:59, 22 October 2007 (UTC))

In other words, it's for self-promotion. This does not differ in any important respect from advertising. As for your peers, they have articles here because some third-party editors independently decided that they were noteworthy enough to be included in a reference encyclopedia, not because the organizations themselves did it. If you know otherwise, please let us know and they can be dealt with also. --Calton | Talk 03:19, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

As a think tank, we need to be avaiable to students and researchers 

And there are many fine webhosting conpanies who can, for a fee, help with that goal. This isn't one of them.

If you look at our talk page, you will see that we have already cleared up our copyright issues.

The person who actually deleted your page,, appears to disagree with you. --Calton | Talk 14:05, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
