User talk:TheNMF

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 yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 01:23, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 16:16, 20 June 2013 (UTC)

I understand what wikipedia is. I understand conflict of interest. I understand notability. I am not trying to advertise anything. The National Monuments Foundation is a non-profit organization that is involved in many important philanthropic and cultural endeavors throughout the world. My posts were not an attempt at advertising. I was only updating those pages to reflect the most recent developments and keep content current. All links posted were both relevant and notable. Please change my username so I no longer violate the username policy and please unblock my account.


 * So, if you understand the above, that means you're promising not to edit ANY topic where COI exists? I'm not getting that from your response ... (✉→ BWilkins ←✎) 00:27, 22 June 2013 (UTC)
