User talk:Millenniumfoundation

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the policy to not edit in a conflict of interest. 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.

Welcome
Hello,

I see that you got our template welcome given to new user accounts that appear to represent an organization. While the content in it is useful, I wanted to stop by and give you an individual welcome and thank you for your comments in the deletion discussion.

As you can see, the Community is somewhat divided about whether the MassiveGood meets the site's inclusion criteria. Currently, there is an article for deletion discussion (Afd) where people give their opinion based on their understanding of Wikipedia policy to decide if the content should remain on a stand alone entry, or be merged into another article, or be deleted. Usually the discussions last one week, but this was extended because it got a low response during the first week. (Possibly due to the holiday?). After the Afd, an administrator will review the discussion and decide whether to delete the article.

The best way that you can help retain the article would be to provide as many references to the article as possible that are major mentions in reliable sources. These would primarily be newspapers, journals or magazines, or well recognized organizations that report on your type of activity. The idea is to get the information for articles from third party sources that have some type of editorial review of the content. This way we can verify that the material is accurate, as well as show that an established media source thinks that the content is important enough to cover in an article.

For now, in order to avoid concerns about editing with a conflict of interest, or until you have a better understanding of content policy, you can place new references or information on the talk page of the article so other editors can review and add it.

Again, welcome to Wikipedia. FloNight&#9829;&#9829;&#9829;&#9829; 14:07, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Millenniumfoundation, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 06:29, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
