Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. '''Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized here.'''

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page):.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Thank you. Mfield (Oi!) 18:49, 2 January 2024 (UTC)


 * , this username fits in the exemption listed in the block notice, "such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA"". Am I missing something? Cabayi (talk) 09:54, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Agreed, it does fit within that exemption, I don't think my brain parsed Lucyat as Lucy At for whatever reason to be honest. I would certainly agree with an block reversal on that merit assuming editor is mindful of COI as Daniel notes below. Mfield (Oi!) 16:38, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Also, Lucy, how will you edit if we unblock you, being mindful of our conflict of interest policy (short version)? Daniel Case (talk) 10:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi Wiki Team,
 * Thanks for responding.
 * Could it have been the exact wording in my draft I? work for a small charity and was told to use some of our "Key messaging" but do, in reflection sounds potentially bit too promotional. I am now planning on re-writing it without the official messaging, other than to use small cited extracts that state as official Aims/Values ect.
 * Would it be possible to write an article draft and get one of you to look over it before publishing?
 * I would also like to edit an article of another charity which is now connected to this Causeway Charitable Services.
 * Hope that helps make a decision.
 * Thanks,
 * Lucy Lucywritesawareness (talk) 09:20, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
 * I have gone ahead and reversed the block per this discussion. Lucy, apologies for my hasty misreading of your username format, please take the time to read through the COI policy. You are free to keep your username as is, or to request a change if you prefer. Mfield (Oi!) 16:59, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much @Mfield Lucywritesawareness (talk) 09:22, 4 January 2024 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 10:58, 18 January 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for declaring your conflict of interest. That doesn't mean you can write what you like, you must follow the guidance below:
 * you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the organisation or company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, logs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the company or organisation claims or interviewing its management. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls
 * The notability guidelines for organisations and companies have been updated. The primary criteria has five components that must be evaluated separately and independently to determine if it is met:
 * significant coverage in
 * independent,
 * multiple,
 * reliable,
 * secondary sources.
 * Note that an individual source must meet all four criteria to be counted towards notability.


 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

What you wrote is all about what the charity does, little about the organisation itself other than its location. To show notability you need hard verifiable facts such as the number of employees, management structure, funding or expenditure

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 11:01, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
