I've written a response to your concern over at Talk:Yamato nadeshiko. Please do check it out. —Tokek (talk) 00:58, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

Concern over user name apparently connected with website
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, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) 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.
 * 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 policy to not edit in 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. Thank you.

 * Thanks for telling me your concerns, DAJF. This account is solely being used to maintain links to my website, so I gave it this name to indicate that fact. I can change it to something else, but I would have thought it was better to be explicit about what the account is for. --Sljfaq2 (talk) 06:44, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Therein lies a potential problem... If your account is being used solely to add links to your own website to various Wikipedia articles, then that is considered spamming, and I would strongly suggest you refrain from doing so. --DAJF (talk) 07:12, 6 January 2010 (UTC)


 * It's being used mostly to maintain existing links though, most of which have been here for years. Since you haven't looked at the web page in question, why are you deleting it? Also, the links you didn't delete are very clearly spam (see the talk page for Japanese etiquette), so it looks like you are picking on me. --Sljfaq2 (talk) 07:15, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used 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 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.

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, or organization. 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 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 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, please see how to appeal a block.  K rakatoa    K atie   02:33, 1 January 2011 (UTC)
