Hi there. Thank you for contributing the article on Waldeyer's Ring. However, for legal reasons, we cannot accept material that is copied word-for-word from external websites. As a consequence, the article has been deleted.

Feel free to re-create it in your own words. You can use external sites as sources of information, but not as a source of sentences, if you follow me. DS 13:31, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

June 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

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.--John (talk) 04:38, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use 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. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on 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}} below this message box.
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.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block.

{{unblock-spamun|faisalvali|Hi Orangemike - My real life name is faisal vali, I am not a corporation - I am a practicing oncologist - lung cancer staging just underwent a dramatic change and i've been hosting some lung cancer staging tools for free on my personal website - I placed a link to them because i thought it might help others - I was surprised that I was seen as a self-promoting corporation - my intent is not to self-promote. I do understand the rules now and I see why it was thought as a source of conflict - I would really like to keep my username - there was no intent to self-promote and I will try and avoid such compromising situations in the future - can you help by unblocking my name for edits? I appreciate what you guys do to maintain wikipedia's integrity, since i do rely on the information. I do not wish to subvert wikipedia for my own purposes, and feel badly that a misunderstanding has caused me to be labeled as such. Please let me know if I can be given a second chance. Thanks!}}

Hi, your unblock request has been accepted but you should avoid linking to websites that you have a personal connection to. Spartaz ^Humbug! 04:20, 3 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
