Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Christian sorority has been reverted. Your edit here to Christian sorority was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/christianbizsorority.com) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 17:58, 29 December 2011 (UTC)

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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/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 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, organization, or clients. 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 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.

However, I did receive a message about the link to our Facebook page. I removed that link and save the page. It was then reloaded and so I thought nothing was wrong. Well to my surprise a few minutes ago I check the page because I wanted to upload our logo and start the user page. I found out the editing was blocked indefinitely. Be advised the same content I listed on the Christian Sorority page is very similar in nature to other sororities information. More than one organization lists their facebook page; however, as previously stated I did delete that information and resave the file. Please advise, Thank you!}


 * Your username violates the username policy because it appears to be used on behalf of your sorority. Wikipedia only does not allow that.  It's not a big deal, just please read Username policy.  You're obviously new, so there was no reason for you to know that.  Just copy and paste this:  in your talkpage with "Your proposed new username" and "Your reason here" filled out.  An administrator will probably change your username.--GrapedApe (talk) 23:50, 29 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Since your edit are "sonority" related, I think it would be better to avoid the use of an acronym - TRO is rather obvious.  Ron h jones (Talk) 01:54, 30 December 2011 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry you're having issues understanding Wikipedia so far. Before unblocking and allowing you to change your username, we need to be fully convinced that the issues leading to your block won't be repeated.  First, there is the issue of the username - which will be dealt with by a username change.  Second is conflict of interest - we must be convinced that you will not be writing about your organization, even with a username change.  Your statement above regarding facebook concerns me: other pages should not be using facebook as a reference, and in most cases they should be removed from the other articles.  WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is a good policy to understand related to that concept.
 * So, please confirm you will not be writing about your organization if unblocked and allowed to change your username ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 12:46, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

In response to: talk→ BWilkins ←track) thank you for you reply to my request and the apology. I am just new to this whole world of Wikipedia and learning the ropes. I am interested in writing about other things in fact now that I think about it, I already have written about other things. I wrote about Rho Omega Chi which is not my sorority but a friend of mine. I happened to be talking with a friend on the telephone when initially editing the Christian sorority page and she asked me to post her information as well. As to other subjects that I may write about they vary from business, politics, and the like none of which is related to me personally or an advertisement.  In response to your concerns about other pages using facebook references I really do not want to "tell on" other editors that was not the purpose of my previous response. However, a quick review of the Christian Sorority page not to mention several user pages will reveal my point. Nevertheless, when alerted that I could not use the facebook reference link, it was immediately removed. I think when new people come to Wiki and they see certain things being that we may not automatically know what is acceptable or not acceptable it is easy to just do what we see being done unaware that there is an issue.That said, I do not know what else to say about this matter. I did not realize it was this entailed or would warrant this much attention. So, thank you!


 * I have unblocked - please make the username change request ASAP, and please do not edit Wikipedia until the name change has been performed. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 19:43, 4 January 2012 (UTC)


 * I have removed your edit from the bottom of Moving a page. The page you need for changing your user name is Changing username/Simple. I'm sorry this place is so confusing! -- John of Reading (talk) 20:16, 4 January 2012 (UTC)
