The biography on me was far more complete when I was at the NY Times. Since then it has been reduced to one or two sentences, and says nothing about my current business, developed after I left The Times. I added citations from outside sources to prove that I won the 2 awards I added. I also changed the wording of the pulitzer prize to which I contributed. The recent edits somebody else made rewrote the original language regarding the Pulitzer on the NYT website which was more accurate. Caseynyt (talk) 01:04, 23 August 2012 (UTC)
- First off, it's probably not a good idea to edit your own page, or if you do, you should be very careful to comply with WP:POV. Secondly, you can tag the article for needing to be broken into sections, which tend to be expanded more quickly than a three line biography. If you do expand it yourself, I would again urge you to be cautious to ensure you follow Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy. Happy editing. Go Phightins! (talk) 20:26, 26 August 2012 (UTC)
- 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, website 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
- What can I do now?
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:37, 6 June 2013 (UTC)
