April 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen (STVCC) 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 or adding links to its website.
 * 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. The article in question is St. vincent catholic charities. Thank you. GimliDotNet (talk) 19:21, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of St. vincent catholic charities


A tag has been placed on St. vincent catholic charities requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Hello. Concerning your contribution, St. vincent catholic charities, please note that Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted text or images obtained from other web sites or printed material, without the permission of the author(s).

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 you.

Additionally, it appears your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest, though you may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 19:46, 18 April 2012 (UTC)

Before setting up an individual account, please read this:
 * Copyright: we cannot accept copied material unless a formal copyright release has been made. Assertion of permission to use material is not enough. The way to make a release is described at WP:Donating copyrighted materials
 * But it is unlikely to be worth doing that, because material written for other purposes almost always has a promotional tone unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view.
 * Wikipedia is not for promotion of any kind, even of worthy causes - see Wikipedia is not here to tell the world about your noble cause - and is very resistant to being used in that way.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and should not be approached as a noticeboard onto which organizations can pin their announcements. An encyclopedia article has a different audience, a different aim, and a different style. See User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard.
 * If you set up an individual account but still wish to write about STVCC you will have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a Conflict of interest, and should read that guideline and Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. What you should do is:
 * Read WP:Your first article
 * Make a userspace draft by going, from your new account, to Help:Userspace draft
 * Take great care not to write promotionally. Do not write in the first person: you are not writing for the organization, you are writing for Wikipedia about it. No opinions, no glowing adjectives, just plain facts, neutrally stated, and sourced to reliable sources.
 * Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability policy requires that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." In order to establish WP:Notability, you will need to cite references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
 * When you have finished, click the "submit" button at the top of the draft page, which will submit it to WP:Articles for creation, where either it will be accepted or you will be given feedback.
