Conflict of interest and username for promotional use
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (Rockarchcenter) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you.
 * Actually, I did provide a reason, but Wikipedia didn't reproduce it, probably for a technical reason, so here it is: Editing (see http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=David_Rockefeller&curid=659333&diff=429763614&oldid=428566379) respecting the Rockefeller Archive Center was by Rockarchcenter (you), which appears to be a promotional name disallowed by Username, and you seem to have a relevantly focused interest in your edits generally. I think this would be a problem in giving the appearance that you are the owner of articles you edit, and Wikipedia does not allow that.

Hello Rockarchcenter. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant 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.

 * Thank you for resolving the name issue. Please note that having a conflict of interest is a separate issue, and that an editor with a conflict of interest (COI) may still edit with care, but that you do have to declare the COI or explain how you don't have one, whichever is the case. The advice above should help. Thanks again. Nick Levinson (talk) 01:03, 20 May 2011 (UTC)
