Your username

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Islamic Relief USA, and I noticed that your username, "Irusasocialnetworks", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. GermanJoe (talk) 22:13, 30 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Information icon Hello, I'm Donner60. I wanted to let you know that I reverted one or more of your recent contributions to Islamic Relief USA because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

  • Thank you for changing your account name. But I strongly recommend to read the linked guidelines above as well, namely WP:COI, WP:NPOV and WP:PROMO. Your organization does not own the article about it - all content contributions are made under a free Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, and can be changed by everybody (of course edits and changes need to follow Wikipedia's project guidelines). If you would like to suggest corrections or updates of outdated information, please post those suggestions at Talk:Islamic Relief USA. As editor with a "conflict of interest" you should not edit the article yourself. Best regards. GermanJoe (talk) 16:36, 31 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
