User talk:Ninas Notes

April 2012
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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 by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Phantom Steve / talk &#124; contribs \ 21:35, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

So..... do I just change things here to make it acceptable? This is a highly confusing place. And is this really the place to ask questions??

And, as I do have lots to say about student centered education, but don't have time to do it all right now, how should I start?
 * This is the only place in which you can ask questions while you are blocked! There are a few problems:
 * Your user name appears to be an organisation name. Our user name policy does not allow such names - accounts are for individuals, not organisations or their representatives
 * Your user page appeared to exist to promote and/or advertise your services - advertising/promotion is not permitted on Wikipedia
 * Before we can discuss anything further, you need to answer a few questions:

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the three important principles above.

Not really having time at the moment for in-depth learning with wiki. How can I delete this?
 * Accounts cannot be deleted. However, as it is blocked, the account cannot be used for editing (apart from this page) - if you get the time to learn wiki, leave a message on this page and I will see it, and we can continue from there.
