Dear 190.10.168.96

Is there any chance that we could speak by phone or regular email? I am not sure how to use the Talk thing.

I am the webmaster for North Shore Medical Center and have been for 8 years. When I edited the page this last time I was NOT trying to spin it for SEO. I was cleaning up erroneous statements, a multitude of links someone had added to other hospitals, and I found some sentences that were not grammatical and made no factual sense, so I was trying to amend that.

I had forgotten my original sign in from years ago and had to create a new username within the last year or so. Perhaps that has led some to think I was someone else?

Anyway, re: Bertram, I am the one that originally added the John Bertram stuff but the reason I removed it just now is because when someone searches for us they now see in the search result a snippet from Wikipedia with the paragraph about Bertram -- as opposed to a succinct description of the medical center. What the medical center provides seems more pertinent to a patient than the history, that was the reasoning there.

so a few questions....  what is a sock puppet, what does it mean I am "taking place", also did you say webmasters are the only ones not allowed to contribute to a page all about the organization? How can that be?

How did we get to the point of me being blocked? All best, Jean Monahan NSMC Web (talk) 14:11, 22 October 2013 (UTC)  am i supposed to add tildas?
 * Removed email and phone. Not a good idea to post in the open internet. If you need help, please visit the help pages or as questions at The TeahousePlease remember to sign your posts in talk pages with four tildes (~) . -- Alexf(talk) 13:27, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

Wikipedia: We have blocked 250 'sock puppets' for biased editing of our pages Online reference site admits spin doctors and users with false online identities have been changing pages

Wikipedia, the largest reference work on the Internet, has made an unprecedented admission that its site is being manipulated by paid spin doctors and "sock puppets" using false online identities to change entries A long statement from the Wikimedia Foundation, the charitable organisation that oversees the sixth largest site on the web, revealed that some 250 sock puppets have been "blocked or banned" after being found to have carried out "non-neutral editing" of Wikipedia pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.10.168.96 (talk) 02:43, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "NSMC Web", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 13:27, 23 October 2013 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, NSMC Web, 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) and continue editing.''' 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 and create the account yourself. 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. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:59, 4 November 2013 (UTC)
