Conflict of interest, username policies
Hello RSPN. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Royal Society for Protection of Nature, Bhutan, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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 a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JFHJr (㊟) 20:12, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (RSPN) 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. Thank you. JFHJr (㊟) 20:32, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

I think you should still contribute
Hello. I think you should still contribute. But I hope you consider requesting permission to continue editing under another user name, perhaps something not at all to do with RSPN. I think you must have plenty of superior skills literally right under your nose – I assume you speak and write Dzongkha. English Wikipedia is in serious need of proficient Dzongkha speakers who can provide Dzongkha text to Bhutan-related articles. We could also use help using reference-worthy Dzongkha texts and/or publishing them on Wikimedia Commons. Dzongkha Wikipedia could also use many new pages; if you are proficient enough, I hope you can translate our Good Articles into Dzongkha. Although I think some of your previous edits on RSPN weren't encyclopedic, I think your skills have a place here. I hope you'll keep editing.

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 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. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   20:02, 6 September 2011 (UTC)
