User talk:Resurrection University

Resurrection University, you are invited to the Teahouse!
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 00:56, 23 November 2017 (UTC)

How exactly do you plan to abide by WP:PAID and WP:PROMO? There are specific things you must do to adhere to those policies. One option (though this is not sufficient) would be to avoid writing about your university directly, simply provide a suggested article and then allow a volunteer, someone unrelated to you or the university, to modify it as they see fit, before converting it to a real article. This may not meet your deadline of December 15th, but there's a good chance that you simply won't be able to make that deadline in any case. Note that your new username is fine, but you aren't obligated to use your real name. You can't use a 'group' name or a name implying this is the official account of the organisation, so you do indeed need to change it, but you are still welcome to pick a different one if you don't want your real name to be revealed. As such, I am refraining from performing a rename right away. --Yamla (talk) 18:55, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

-- From Liesl: Hi Yamla! Thank you for guiding me to that issue. I am still very new at this, as I'm sure you can tell. I would definitely disclose that I am a paid employee of the university. Is there a template I follow for this or do I put that in the username profile? Should I create a new username and just copy what is currently in the Resurrection University sandbox and paste it in a new sandbox with the new username? I guess I am not sure how to proceed without jeopardizing the work that has already gone into the sandbox. What do you suggest? Thanks again.
 * Oh. It looks like we already have a . If that's you, you can just start using that account. If it isn't, you'll have to pick a different username. Either way, we'll expect you to abide by WP:COI and WP:PAID and WP:PROMO. That means, before editing, you must follow the instructions to declare your conflict of interest. These policies tell you exactly how to disclose, and how to edit so that you don't violate the policies. --Yamla (talk) 19:50, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

- From Liesl: Yes, lieslcottrell1 is me, but that account is also blocked since it's from the same IP range as the Resurrection University account. I will absolutely abide by WP:COI and WP:PAID and WP:PROMO before going a step further once the account is unblocked. Thanks again for the help! It's definitely appreciated!
 * Okay. You'll need to sign out of this account and sign in to the other. Then, when you try to edit, you'll be given instructions on how to use the unblock-auto template to request that the 'autoblock' is lifted. Follow those instructions. I'm monitoring that page and if you can follow the instructions in the next half hour (I'm away after that), I'll lift the autoblock. I need you to follow the instructions so I can find the particular block, here. Then you'll be free to edit so long as you follow the instructions to declare your conflict of interest, and so long as you avoid editing about Resurrection University directly. It's okay to edit a draft page, and it's okay to suggest edits on the article's talk page (if someone creates a "real" article). But editing the article directly may cause you further problems. Specifically, it may lead to another block and obviously, that would be annoying. If you are unclear, feel free to ask. --Yamla (talk) 20:28, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

From Liesl: Great! Thank you. I believe I completed the autoblock correctly--please let me know if not though. I could not complete it yesterday, as I had already left for the day. After I declare my conflict of interest in the individual username, I can start working on the page again, correct? When you say "avoid editing about Resurrection University directly", do you mean I cannot work on it at all in the sandbox before submitting it to Wikipedia as an article? It is still incomplete and edits need to be made. Thanks again, Yamla!
 * Note by signing in to this account again, you may have triggered a new autoblock. That's okay, though... you can just request another unblock-auto. After you declare your conflict of interest, you can start working on the draft article. Once it moves from a draft to a real article, you should refrain from editing the article directly but instead, should suggest changes on the article's discussion page. I want to be clear, though, this does not apply until the article is out of draft. Let me know if this is still unclear. --Yamla (talk) 14:16, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
