User talk:Mclarenhealthcare

September 2016
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer 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 would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. S Philbrick (Talk)  20:45, 30 September 2016 (UTC)

If you are wondering why your edit was reverted and you were blocked
You are very likely to be surprised that, not only was your improvement to McLaren Health Care Corporation reverted but your username was blocked. Let me explain both actions.

Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously. Although your choice of the username means it is highly likely you are associated with the organization who holds the copyright for the text you added, we do not know that for certain, and even if that is establish we don't know that you have the authority to provide a suitable license for the material. Once the text is in Wikipedia, it can be used by anyone else for any purpose. For that reason, if text is to be added to an article which comes from a copyrighted source, we need to have an explicit license from the copyright holder providing permission. I can tell you how to take that step although I don't recommend it. It is quite rare for text develop for an organization's website to be useful exactly as is in a neutrally written encyclopedia. It is almost always better for an editor to rewrite the material in their own words.

The second issue is that we want to avoid conflicts of interest. This means that people should not write articles about themselves, and in most cases should not be writing about their employer. The username you chose suggest you are writing officially on behalf of the subject of the article. We do not permit usernames that sound like they are associated with an organization and edit the article about that organization. Feel free to select a new username, but if you are associated with that organization, you should contribute by making suggestions on the article talk page.-- S Philbrick (Talk)  20:53, 30 September 2016 (UTC)
