User talk:ReclaimLiberty

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (ReclaimLiberty) 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.

Your contributed article, The U.S. States' Constitutional Use of Article V to Propose Amendments


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, The U.S. States' Constitutional Use of Article V to Propose Amendments. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Article Five of the United States Constitution. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Article Five of the United States Constitution - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. —Ute in DC (talk) 18:33, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Problematic editing
User:ReclaimLiberty/Amending the U.S. Constitution through Article V Convention was previously tagged as a copyright violation by me, and was subsequently deleted by an uninvolved administrator. I recall you disagreed with tagging the page as a copyright violation, as you claimed it was your work. I responded that a release of the rights to the work would need to be submitted to the permissions queue of the OTRS team. Perhaps you did not see that message, as the page and its talk page were deleted.

At any rate, I also noted at the time that the creation of this page constituted a serious conflict of interest. Even if OTRS confirms release of rights to the material, it would never survive in article space due to the serious conflict of interest involved in its creation. We are a neutral, reliably sourced encyclopedia, which heavily depends on secondary sources, not primary sources such as you and your organization.

Since there has been an insistence on your part to ignore the prior warning regarding conflict of interest on your part, I have submitted this username for blocking at Usernames for administrator attention. You are most welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia on subjects where you have an interest, but do not represent a related entity. But, continuing to edit in conflict of interest is unacceptable. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:42, 4 March 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, your account has been blocked; 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.
