User talk:OccupyNews

Hi, please don't make it so complicated to appeal a banning. It's typical of the world we live in and I expect more from wikipedia. I've posted your calls for donations on my blogs in the past, the least you could do is not make it so complicated to appeal a banning.

I run occupynews.net This is a  NOT FOR PROFIT site designed to allow anybody interested in the occupy movement to check the over 150 occupy blogs out in what may be the fastest way possible. An about me section is on the blog specifically for TRANSPARENCY PURPOSES. I would ask that you rescind my block and I noticed the person who blocked me is quite the overachiever, with about 2 million badges to their name.

Not necessarily a good thing when one person does nothing but get in everybody else's business.

Welcome!

You are clueless about full disclosure. To be part of the occupy movement the idea is to fully disclose this. All I did was an add an external link to your Occupy section, it's for informational purposes only.It simply lets people know where to go if they want to learn about the 175 occupy blogs with RSS feeds. If you don't want to list it because I am fully disclosing that it is my blog, why don't you add it instead?

I am suspicious of the tolerance towards the occupy together link and PHOTO that is on the same page as well. You've put me a strange spot because I really have nothing to apologize for. All I did was add an external link for those who want to learn about the occupy movement. There are no ads on the Occupy News page.


 * [[Image:Information.svg|25px|link=]] Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button Insert-signature.png or Signature icon.png located above the edit window.  This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you.
 * And no, I don't want to add this external link, nor is that the reason you were blogged. Please read our policy and register a new account. mabdul 08:41, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page "Occupy" protests has been reverted. Your edit here to "Occupy" protests was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 04:33, 23 October 2011 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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, please see how to appeal a block. Daniel Case (talk) 05:51, 23 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I saw your comments at Special:FeedbackDashboard. The point is that you were blocked because of our username policy. This is nothing personal. We do not make any distinction between non profit or private companies. Read the link I gave you and register under a new name. mabdul 21:20, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
