Blocked
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. 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 below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you.

OHRCcenter, as an administrator here on en.wikipedia I have blocked your account because we do not allow user names that give the appearance of representing a group or organization; and additionally because at least one of your contributions, at School health services, was a copyright violation of this essay. This is a serious matter; please read the linked policy page, and note that because Wikipedia is publication (not, for example, an academic study for a limited readership) and because our purpose is to provide content that others may freely reuse, our standards for permissable use of others' materials are very strict. We welcome subject matter experts and surely need people who are willing to expand our coverage of dentistry, so I hope you will understand and file an unblock request so you can resume contributing to the project.

That new name would be great, nothing wrong with a real name, believe me. But all the same ...

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 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 20:07, 1 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi again :-) Since you were also blocked for copyright violation (I've since found that in the other articles you edited you also copied text), please also read Copy-paste (an editor-oriented guide that's probably also clearer than the policy page I referred you to above) and address that second issue. If you have any questions about the copyright policy, I,, or other admins and experienced editors will be happy to explain further. Yngvadottir (talk) 20:53, 1 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi. I understand you have a few questions about copyright, so I'd like to take the time to answer them for you. Also, I've merged your two unblock requests; you don't have to use another template to add comments.

If you own the copyright to material found elsewhere and you donate it properly, then yes, you may copy it or paraphrase it closely. However, you will have to make sure that the actual copyright holders, which may be you, your coauthors, and/or the organization, all agree to this.

Yes, you are correct in your assumption about "copying and pasting": It applies to any copying of text, even if it was not "pasted" as one might do on a computer.

I hope this helps. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask them here or (after you are unblocked) elsewhere. Anon 126  (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 20:23, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the information. This is very helpful. I hope to hear back soon about my unblock request (and am hoping that I will be unblocked) so that I can change my username to something more appropriate and look into how to properly donate material to see if it's possible for me. I appreciate your help.OHRCcenter (talk) 15:23, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi again. I have a follow-up question about donating materials. I was looking at the guidelines on Wikipedia, and I found this statement: "If you are the original author but the rights have been assigned to your publisher, you have given up the ability to license the work to us." But in your previous message to me you said that "However, you will have to make sure that the actual copyright holders, which may be you, your coauthors, and/or the organization, all agree to this." The publications that I am interested in cutting and pasting or paraphrasing from to contribute to Wikipedia are copyrighted by the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center, so does that mean they cannot be licensed to Wikipedia? Or does it mean that if the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center agrees, they can be licensed to Wikipedia? In addition, I work for the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center and I don't want to violate conflict if interest policies, so even if it is possible to donate the materials with the agreement of the the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center, I'm not sure I would be allowed to cut and paste or paraphrase from them. However, I don't plan to mention or link to the National Maternal and Child Oral Health Resource Center in anything I post to Wikipedia (all statements would include references from other, primary sources), so I'm hoping my use of information from these materials may be acceptable. Thank you for any guidance you can offer. OHRCcenter (talk) 15:48, 11 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi again. To answer your first question: If an organization owns the copyright, then the organization can license the work. What the quotation means, simply, is that you no longer have that ability.
 * COI guidelines don't absolutely forbid you from contributing your own material. Rather, what they say is that you should discuss these contributions with other editors first, on talk pages.  Anon 126   (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 02:45, 14 August 2014 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! OHRCcenter (talk) 19:11, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

Hello. I wanted to check about my unblock request that I submitted on August 7; do you know when a decision may be reached about my request? Thank you. OHRCcenter (talk) 19:11, 18 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi, you're unblocked; go ahead and request a rename at this page. As to copyright, you've received some good advice, but I'm going to add that the reason we are stricter about copyright than many other places on the web is that we intend everything on Wikipedia (with the exception of "fair use" files) to be reusable by anyone for any purpose. So you need to make sure that your employer is ok with giving up all rights to the text you have co-written - so that it could, for example, be reused commercially. That's what donating here means. For more information, including how to have the copyright holder give such permission, see Donating copyrighted materials. It's usually much easier to summarize and paraphrase as if someone else had written the text; and that also makes it easier to modify the amount of detail and the style to the different demands of an encyclopedia article. Conflict of interest (avoiding promotion) is a different issue but is related since style is also involved with that. What we need is dry, neutral, clear exposition. I hope this makes sense? And thanks for sticking with us! Yngvadottir (talk) 19:34, 18 August 2014 (UTC)
