User talk:SSWTRnyc

Welcome!
Hello, SSWTRnyc, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Mary Ping, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Mabalu (talk) 17:01, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Help request
Hi there, Thanks for this message. I am not a paid affiliate of the company but I was asked to remove the tags to the designers because of legal reasons. Is there some way I can request this change instead? Thanks again for your help. SSWTRnyc (talk) 18:03, 27 February 2014 (UTC)SSWTRnyc
 * Reply to Help me request: The key is, asked by whom? If you are acting at the request of the company, paid or not, it is a potential conflict of interest.  There did not seem to be any problems with the content you removed, so it was replaced.  If you have concerns about the content of the article, the correct place to discuss them would be the talk page of the article.  If you have any more questions about Wikipedia policy or procedures, you can ask them here and I will return to help.  But please use the article talk page to discuss the article. —     Bill W.

February 2014
Hello, I'm Wtwilson3. Wikipedia is written by people who have a wide diversity of opinions, but we try hard to make sure articles have a neutral point of view. Your recent edit to Mary Ping seemed less than neutral to me, so I removed it for now. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. —    Bill W.     (Talk)  (Contrib)  — 18:10, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Legal concerns
Hello, While I appreciate your concerns, I don't think you need to be worried about the mentions of Balenciaga, Gucci and Dior in the context of the article. They are named because they are named in the cited source: Green is the New Black. The Victoria and Albert Museum website also states that one of the handbags, which they illustrate, is a reinterpretation of a Gucci bag. What is stated in the article is precisely the same information available in widely available, reputable published sources, which are fully referenced as per Wikipedia policy. There are no controversial or contentious claims made, but simple reiteration of existing information that has been published and exhibited. Mabalu (talk) 21:36, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Daniel Case (talk) 14:42, 28 February 2014 (UTC)
