June 2012
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. 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 doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you.

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. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 17:50, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

I do understand this. If you want some references for pages similar to the one that I am trying to publish, please see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pantheon_Ventures http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coller_Capital http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmark_Partners

There seems to be an internal inconsistency if these pages are published and mine is continually rejected. I am trying to publish this page because the information regarding the private equity secondary market is incomplete unless it includes one of the founding firms. Also, due to legal concerns, the firm cannot publish the deals completed (a major part of the notability of the above listed pages).
 * There's no inconsistency. Those articles are not written by representatives or agents from those companies. Please understand our conflict of interest policies. --jpgordon:==( o ) 19:49, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

How do you know they were not? Just because their username didn't bear the company name?

I understand the policy. I think the letter of the law is being upheld here, but not the spirit. I wrote an unbiased article that does not include any advertising of any kind, and it is continually rejected.


 * AS you concede, the letter of the law is being upheld here. This is what we work to achieve. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 21:18, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

So, Anthony, were I to create a separate account with my name, T. Blake, and re-post this article (with a few amendments) it would be published? This seems ridiculous to me. It seems a better system to me to evaluate an article on its own merits rather than split hairs over what the username of the author is.
 * The article would still need to be evaluated for Wikipedia's notability and sourcing guidelines. Of course, knowing the rules of COI now, if you were to go create an account and still re-write an article about your organization, that would be your own personal ethics you'd be breaking ...

Understood. Well, good job at policing, gentlemen. I respect your devotion to your deontology.
