User talk:Palliativecareforall

June 2018
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 or request a change of username. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. Longhair\talk 10:11, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Clarification about blocked account
Hello Longhair. I am a little confused about your message re the policies of Wikipedia about this account representing an organization. I am the Executive Director of the International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care (IAHPC). We are a not for profit organization dedicated to the development of palliative care in the world. The reason why we wanted to upload a page describing the organization is because we have seen similar pages in Wikipedia of organizations that do similar work to us. Some of these include:

American Society of Clinical Oncology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Society_of_Clinical_Oncology

Together for Short Lives https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Together_for_Short_Lives

American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Academy_of_Hospice_and_Palliative_Medicine

Diana Princess of Wales Memorial Fund https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diana,_Princess_of_Wales_Memorial_Fund

Pallium India https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pallium_India

Given that it seems Wikipedia does allow some organizations to have their pages in the Dictionary, maybe we are doing something wrong. Could you please let me know what we need to do in order to be able to create a page similar to the ones above?

Thank you in advance, Liliana
