User talk:Papetoysrinfo

Welcome
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page to follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons' policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring and sockpuppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account or IP being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Endofskull (talk) 22:48, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Concern about User name and possible COI
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Papetoysrinfo, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to be promotional in nature, especially since it corresponds to the name of a link in the only contribution to Wikipedia thus far.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. In addition, please take a look at Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest. If you are connected with the website that your username seems to refer to, you need to be very careful when editing related articles (info can be found in the policy link). Similarly, please take a look at WP:SPAM, which explains more about our criteria for adding information that is promotional in nature, especially promotional links. Please ask if you have any questions (you can post here and I'll see your message).Qwyrxian (talk) 13:03, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

Papetoysrinfo (talk) 07:22, 1 September 2010 (UTC) Ok i'll try to change my username at this account, anyway the website is mine but is not self promotional, the website is all about giving the people some adicional info in Portuguese about paper toys as free public service.

Looking more closely, it does appear to be a non-commercial site, however, it does fall under one of the types of sites not to be used for external links. WP:ELNO, which gives details about what types of links to avoid, says (in #11), not to make "Links to blogs, personal web pages and most fansites, except those written by a recognized authority." As such, adding the link to papertoys.info falls under this prohibition. However, as you do seem to know much about the subject, we certainly invite you to continue editing in ways that do follow policy! Thanks, Qwyrxian (talk) 08:38, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Papetoysrinfo, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * 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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 05:04, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
