User talk:QueensErgBio

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 and which complies with our username policy. 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 below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 22:19, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. I am sorry that this is a rather unwelcoming welcome to Wikipedia, but as the block notice above says, Wikipedia accounts are for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, so that accounts whose usernames are names of groups or organizations are not permitted.

Also, what you wrote in your sandbox, "This page is designed as a resource for researchers in the Biomechanics and Ergonomics lab at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario. Below are the lab's protocols for equipment use and guidelines for data processing" suggests a misunderstanding of Wikipedia. This is a project to build an encyclopedia, and that is all it is. In order to keep to that mission, there is a long list of What Wikipedia is not, which includes Wikipedia is not a web hosting service. There are many sites on the Web which would be happy to host for you a resource page about your lab protocols and data processing guidelines, but Wikipedia is not one of them. Is there no place for it on the University's own website? You may find some ideas at Alternative outlets.

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page, the WP:Introduction and the Five Pillars. There is a useful one-stop guide at A Primer for newcomers. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:36, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
