User talk:Oxford Red Dress Couture Ball

We are letting people know about the charities that this event is helping. We did not list anything about tickets or prices or the items up for auction so therefore we are not promoting it. We are simply informing the public that H.E.L.P. Malawi and Teach a Man To Fish are non profits. We are not asking anyone to donate to them. Just making the charities known and we are dooing this through our fundraiser. Which again we are not asking people on wikipedia to purchase tickets.

You don't have to be explicitly asking for money to be promoting something. 24.4.101.72 (talk) 15:40, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

There are other fundraising events on Wikipedia. For example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fashion_Rocks.

Username/COI Warning
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) You may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.
