User talk:Shelter Centre

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.

Dear BWilinks. Thank you for your quick aid and support. As the official Shelter Centre IT Team we would like to have free access to the editing of the organization's Wikipedia page; for internal policies we cannot edit an official page of our NGO with a private user, only Shelter Centre Members are entitled to speak for the organization, and as the IT administrators we revoke any permission to any extra users that will try to do it for us for example in our Community. We would like you to kindly remove the block you put for us, or please if you could explain us what to do in order to get free access to page editing (you can contact us at the user profile email, if you wish). Thanks you for your cooperation. --Shelter Centre (talk) 17:15, 15 November 2011 (UTC)


 * 1) This username is not permitted both because it matches that of an organization, and second because it appears now to be a shared role account - neither of which are allowed under the username policy
 * 2) The article (should it be allowed to remain on Wikipedia) can and will be edited by other editors - you cannot prevent that, you cannot stop it, as you irrevocably agreed to that in the CC-BY-SA/GFDL licence.
 * 3) As you have WP:COI, the sole edits you should be performing should be to correct information, and to remove uncited derogatory comments.  All references MUST be to third party sources unrelated to your organization.   ( talk→   BWilkins   ←track ) 17:30, 15 November 2011 (UTC)

Dear BWilinks, we did not want to disagree with Wikipedia editing policy or CC-BY-SA/GFDL licence (as The Shelter Centre accepts them entirely) but just to give you the confirmation that we actually work for the Organisation. We do not want to prevent other editors to edit the Shelter Centre article, as the Organization agrees with your policy, we only wanted to have access to the editing. After carefully reading the Wikipedia:Username Policy, and seen also in this User Talk that it is not possible, the article will be then edited by another username (not a member of the organization). Thank you very much for your support. --Shelter Centre (talk) 17:54, 15 November 2011 (UTC)
