User talk:TrilogyAgents

April 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (TrilogyAgents) 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 guidelines concerning 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;  17:24, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

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; 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. Salvio Let's talk about it! 17:56, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

So you plan to have six editors working together on particular articles, or six editors working together on an article that describes them collectively? If your intent is just to promote the team, as it were, then you might run afoul of our policies on self-promotion. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 20:54, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
 * Looks like one account each and one for the group to say they're a team. That one would either fail as being a group account, or fail as being a sockpuppet of the one of six who created it. Do you understand that you should NOT be editing things concerned with the team? If you do edit in this way, you will fall foul of policies on WP:COI conflict of interest and or WP:SPAM promotion. If you are planning to edit other areas, could you tell us which, please. Peridon (talk) 21:02, 27 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I still don't think you're getting the point. The notability of the team members is irrelevant to having an account. Accounts are not for the purpose describing people. They are for the purpose of tracking edits. The user page can be used for giving some info about a user, but if its whole purpose is describing that person then it IS promotional. It looks to me as if your sole purpose in editing Wikipedia is to 'give information' about this team. What we are trying to get through to you is that that is not what Wikipedia is about. You fall foul of WP:COI and WP:SPAM. A user page for an account as you have set out also sounds as if it falls foul of WP:NOTWEBSPACE. I've just flicked through the first 10 pages of Google hits for "Paul Maranger" and couldn't find a thing that indicated notability by Wikipedia's standard (which is a different (and more circumscribed) one to those found in most dictionaries). Publicity, yes, but not any serious coverage. Once again, this is not a place for promotion, even disguised promotion. Peridon (talk) 11:14, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
