Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Research Foundation of State University of New York has been reverted. Your edit here to Research Foundation of State University of New York was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/rfsuny) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 13:29, 11 August 2011 (UTC)

Username concerns
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Rfsuny1951) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you 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 guidelines concerning 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. The article in question is Research Foundation of State University of New York. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 19:32, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

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; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. 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. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 08:44, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for accepting my request, but I am not sure how to "put this request in at Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking", Can anyone help, thank you! Rfsuny1951 (talk) 20:34, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

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 three important principles above.  Ron h jones (Talk) 19:27, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your reminder, Ronhjones. I understand the three core principles and is trying my best to accomodate. I am a new user and would like to share the factual knowlege I learned, but not intend to promote any organization and disturb the Wiki envirnoment. I am welcome to share, discuss and improve the knowlege that I have contributed in the Wiki, please also give me guidance if I accidentally violated some rules,which I have no intention to. I understand changing my username is only to avoid projecting unnecessary impression and I understand that I should and have to follow the three core principles as usual. Thank you.

 * Is there some other username that would be acceptable to you? – xeno talk 19:15, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Can I use PeterTa 2011? Do I need to put a new request at the Changing username ? Rfsuny1951 (talk) 19:52, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * That new one sounds fine. I can process it from here, but if it is your real name please review WP:REALNAME first and let me know if you still wish to proceed. – xeno talk 19:53, 17 August 2011 (UTC)
 * I went ahead with this, please feel free to file at WP:CHUS if you wish to change again. – xeno talk 02:42, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
