User talk:Navfacexwc

February 2020
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Hi,

This page is not being created for advertising. It is created as an FYI page for users only. I have been assigned to create this page as I am a contractor with Synectic Solutions, Inc. in Oxnard, California trying to help the Department of Defense client, which is NAVFAC EXWC, which is based on Naval Base Ventura County in Port Hueneme, California. NAVFAC EXWC is a sub division of NAVFAC, which is another DoD entity headquartered in Washington D.C., and also has a Wikipedia page. Overall, it is part of the U.S. Navy, which also has a Wikipedia page.

Please use

Thanks,

Hi there, we would please like to get this resolved so that we can create content for our page. Please refer to the following below:

Why do you believe you should be unblocked? Hello! My name is Sarah MacMillan and I am the Deputy Public Affairs Officer at Naval Facilities Engineering and Expeditionary Warfare Center (NAVFAC EXWC). I understand that last week, my contract support uploaded information on Wikipedia that was flagged as "promotional". It is not our intent to promote our services, but rather inform the general public about NAVFAC EXWC, a Department of Defense Naval Command. I've reviewed the Department of the Navy pages, as well as other DoD command pages, and see how our command can change our wording to follow within Wikipedia's guidelines and standards. We are going back to the drawing board to ensure this doesn't happen again. As a military command, we want our communities to be informed about who we are and what we defend, not promote our services. That is not the goal here. I've informed our upper level management of our request to be unblocked. If you need any other information or need to directly speak with my office, we are happy to accommodate. Thank you for your consideration!

If you are unblocked, what articles do you intend to edit? We intend to wipe the page and start from scratch.

Why do you think there is a block currently affecting you? If you believe it's in error, tell us how Our command contracts out a lot of our communications work. Unfortunately, our contract support followed our request to post some information from our website to Wikipedia, and it was flagged as promotional. Our goal is to fix the content to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Is there anything else you would like us to consider when reviewing your block? Please consider we are a Department of Defense, Department of the Navy command. Our command is global with over 1,300 men and women serving the warfighter. We are not in the business of promoting ourselves to garner business---we are merely serving our country. In today's climate, the more informed the general population is about the DoN, the better. Our command will ensure we follow Wikipedia's guidelines, and will promptly remove any vernacular that sounds promotional. On behalf of NAVFAC EXWC, thank you for your consideration. We look forward to hearing from you.
