User talk:Rockford First

Hi, you can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:37, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
 * You need to provide independent verifiable sources to show to verify the claimed facts, and show that your church meets the notability guidelines. Suitable sources would, for example, be newspapers and other publications not closely affiliated to your church.
 * You need to bear in mind that this is an encyclopaedia, not an advertising forum, so what you write must be neutral. Put yourself in the position of someone who is not a member writing about the church. There's actually very little about the church, it's all mission statements and unsourced spammy claims, like Rockford First is a growing congregation with the priority of sharing Christ's love to its community. or  Members and attendees are encouraged and committed to the pursuit of God, authentic relationships, and a life of purpose.


 * What I usually suggest is that you work on the article here, and let me know when you are ready. I can then comment further, and when we are both happy, the article can go to article space If you need any help with formatting or referencing, let me know.


 * St. George's Church, Trotton is a good article, and may help with layout etc  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:26, 6 October 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, Amanda. Post your content in the red link above, and let me know when you have done that. I'll have a look and make or suggest edits then  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:19, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * 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 you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. Alexf(talk) 16:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

Hi Amanda, I've adjusted the block so that you can create a new account with a less problematic name, you can also send email. I'm going to be unavailable for about 48 hours. I'll try to pick up the threads then  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  16:58, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
