User talk:UniversityofZurich

September 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (UniversityofZurich) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because your name appears to represent a group entity.. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. The Interior (Talk) 07:02, 14 September 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; please take a moment 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?   21:13, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

Hi HJ Mitchell Thanks for your input and concerns. I am the Head of communication of the Faculty of Science of the University of Zurich, Switzerland (Calista Fischer - http://www.mnf.uzh.ch/en/about-us/deans-office.html#c496 ). As an University representative I assume that the credibility of a content generated by any well established and respected University and/or its researchers has a higer credibility than a content generated by an unknown individual. Furthermore I personally see a higher risk for PR-content finding its way into Wikipedia via the "unknown individual" (but hired and paid by a large company) than an University updating its Wikipedia entry under full transparency. So please let me know, whether or not I can continue with the username UniversityofZurich. With my best regards, Calista Fischer
