Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. OhNo itsJamie Talk 20:26, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. user: J  aka justen (talk) 21:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest?
Please consider contributing to the discussion regarding your edits and any potential conflict of interest here.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. user: J  aka justen (talk) 20:43, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Because your account was used for promotion of a company, group, product or organization with a username that violated username policy as it promotes (or implies affiliation with) the aforementioned. This includes, but is not limited to: adding spam links, creating promotional pages (this includes user pages), adding advertisements to existing articles, and adding promotional/favorable content about something you are affiliated with.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Use of Wikipedia for promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones) is considered spam and is forbidden. Such actions will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Appealing a block for more information. Cirt (talk) 22:22, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Before an unblock is considered, what kind of edits to you intend to make if unblocked? Given your affiliation and COI, I don't think it would be appropriate for you to edit the Target Corporation article. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:44, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO, it's okay for this user to edit the Target Corporation article but (1) those edits should not mention the PAC or link to its website, and (2) the user must be cautious in posting negative information, especially if others object, given the agenda. But some of this user's edits to the Target Corporation page appear to be helpful and well-sourced.  Mango juice talk 16:19, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * FYI: This user has already created a sock to add negative article to the Target article again, and as such, should remain blocked. OhNo itsJamie Talk 16:32, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * RLDPAC: can you explain your relationship to User:Fkertai? Mango juice talk 18:28, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

NFB v. Target Corporation
Thought I would say (to everyone who reads this page) that I changed my mind concerning a previous revert of mine on one of his edits. There is already a whole article on the NFB v. Target Corp. lawsuit, but I am OK with this paragraph being on the article about the defendant because it is only two sentences long. This is applying a solution reached on a previous issue; as long as the paragraph doesn't get any bigger and it links back to the article on the lawsuit, then I have no problem with it being on the defendant's article. Pppbach: Considering I did revert you before, I would've preferred it if you used the WP:BRD cycle and went to the article's talk page. Regards, Tuxide (talk) 02:46, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
