User talk:StatisticsONS

November 2010
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (StatisticsONS) 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.
 * 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 guideline to avoid 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. Thank you. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  15:32, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:StatisticsONS


A tag has been placed on User:StatisticsONS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of User:StatisticsONS and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mean as custard (talk) 15:40, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. 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. HJ Mitchell &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   19:14, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

We set up this account because we wanted to be able to add factual details to Wikipedia when able and be honest about the source of these details. We were not aware of the rules around accounts that represent a group, organisation or website (as highlighted by HJ Mitchell), for which our apologies. It would seem that we do not meet these guidelines and therefore that the account should be removed. It would be useful if a cross-reference to the guidelines around users could be added to the conflict of interest pages, which we did consult before creating the account.
