Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:21, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

Your recent addition has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 17:34, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion. --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 19:43, 22 October 2009 (UTC) Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Conflict of interest for the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals here, 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 or organization. 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 below this message box.
 * 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.

See also Appealing a block for more information. .


 * We are simply trying to make sure our trademark is abided by. Otherwise, please remove any references to Eco-friendly dentistry, as it is a violation of our trademark. Oradental (talk) 20:16, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
 * The use in Wikipedia is sourced to an article from September 2007 published by the Canadian Dental Association . This pre-dates the filing-date and use-dates shown in the trademark record.  --- Barek (talk • contribs) - 20:35, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia has no clear policy on this matter, but I have altered the article in such a way that likelihood of confusion should be diminished, since I have clearly identified the source of the term as used on Wikipedia. (As noted above, the term is used by the Canadian Dental Association in 2007. It has additionally been used in other sources.) If you feel this represents a trademark concern, you may wish to contact our legal department to discuss it. The speediest method may be to write info-en-q@wikimedia.org and put the words "Legal concerns" in the subject line. In the body of your e-mail, please link directly to the article in question and explain your concerns with the material. It may be a week or two before you receive a response, as our volunteer e-mail response team is not large and as the legal team is even smaller. Alternatively, you can write our registered agent at the address listed at wmf:Contact us. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 21:40, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
