Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Dirk Beetstra T C 15:57, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. --Dirk Beetstra T C 15:58, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to add promotional material to Wikipedia, you will be blocked from editing. --Dirk Beetstra T C 16:04, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Username concern
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group or company.

There are two issues with this:
 * You may 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.
 * Your account cannot represent a group of people, as your username suggests. There must be a single person responsible for the edits made under a single account. To resolve this problem, you should change your username to one that represents you individually.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you insert promotional material or a spam link, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Persistent spammers may have their websites blacklisted preventing anyone from linking to them from all Wikimedia sites as well as potentially being penalized by search engines. --Rrburke(talk) 17:32, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

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

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, 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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Conflict of interest for 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 here, 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 below this message box.
 * 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.

See also Appealing a block for more information. --Dirk Beetstra T C 19:42, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry case
You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Sockpuppet investigations/Schoolofmace for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. --Rrburke(talk) 17:15, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello,

By mistake I broke the rules of Wkipedia. I edit School page for the University of Manchester. On the 24th I found that someone changed our entry and decided to update. I made a mistake by puting too many external links. Then, when I got an error message I read your instructions and changed the content to accommodate them. But it was too late. The account was blocked.

Could you please unblock the account so I can put the update version?

Here is the page that I wanted to upload. Could you please advise where I went wrong?

Regards The School of Mechanical, Aerospace and Civil Engineering 12:40, 26 November 2009 (UTC)



The School of Mechanical, Aerospace & Civil Engineering at the University of Manchester is one of the leading engineering schools in the world and the largest in Europe. The school was formed from three departments in the 2004 merger between the Victoria University of Manchester(VUM) and UMIST. The merged departments were the Department of Civil and Construction Engineering which was joint between both universities, the Department of Mechanical Aerospace and Manufacturing Engineering at UMIST and the Manchester School of Engineering  at Victoria University of Manchester. Each of the former departments had long histories of excellence in engineering including Joule's part in the foundation of what was to become UMIST, Whittworth's contribution to founding both institutions and Osborne Reynolds’s study of Fluid Mechanics and Thermodynamics in the 1890s.

Today, the School has over 80 academics, over 1200 undergraduate students, 600 taught full-time and part-time postgraduate students and 300 postgraduate research students. The School offers a wide variety of undergraduate courses that reflect the diversity of modern aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering and civil engineering. The wide range of degree courses offered by the School are supported by extensive computational and experimental facilities such as a large tilting flume, built in conjunction with the Mason Centre for Environmental Flows and a £6m building upgrade which was also recently completed.

The School performed very well in the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) with 70% of the School's activities being assessed as at least `Internationally Excellent', with the other 30% being classed as `Internationally Recognised'. This is an excellent achievement that highlights the overall research environment which attracts leading scholars from around the world. A significant proportion of School's research is practically based, and funded by industry, which ensures that teaching on the undergraduate and postgraduate programmes is up-to date and world-leading.
