Conflict of interest editing
Dear SALC contributors,

Your user name and editing history implies a connection with SALC. Conflict-of-interest editing is generally discouraged at Wikipedia, particularly when editors are directly involved in disputes or legal cases. Please review the linked guidelines, or their simpler form at Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

You've done the right thing so far in having a neutral editor review your drafts at Articles for Submission, which I thank you for! But given that lawsuits are involved here, I'm opening a discussion at our conflict-of-interest noticeboard to get further advice. You're welcome to chime in there if you like. All best, -- Khazar2 (talk) 16:56, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

Username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw how you edited or created Southern Africa Litigation Centre & Another v National Director of Public Prosecutions & Others, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "SALCcontributors", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you.}} --Drm310 (talk) 17:22, 28 November 2012 (UTC)

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 doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. Daniel Case (talk) 19:24, 29 November 2012 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:18, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
