I am a new contributor to Wikipedia.

I would like you to

Unblock TERMIUM Plus®
Reason for unblocking: I would like to create a page for TERMIUM Plus® and I am from the organization which is responsible for TERMIUM Plus®

I've read about the steps I have to do to have something unblocked but I am not sure I understand them.

I also would like someone to review the text I would like to post.

Thank you. JulieDaoust JulieDaoust (talk) 21:59, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

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 from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, 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 conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. m.o.p 22:10, 16 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, JulieDaoust. I need some clarification: Are you referring to a blocked account or an article? If it is a blocked account with that name, it violates Wikipedia's username policy for being promotional, and is unlikely to be unblocked. You should just stick with this new account that has a neutral username. If it is an article, you should be able to create it, unless the page has been deleted and salted for being solely promotional and possibly failing the notability criteria for inclusion. Additionally, if you represent an organization, you may have a conflict of interest. Please read up on those policies and feel free to ask further questions.

Hi again, Thank you for the reply. I will definitely read about conflict of interest.

Here's the story: it was brought to my attention that there is a page on the French Wikipedia about TERMIUM (http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Termium). TERMIUM is a terminology and linguistic data bank my organization has created and is responsible for. The text on the French Wikipedia is flagged as being too promotional. In order to respect what Wikipedia is all about, I wrote a new text which I believe is neutral. I will be posting this text shortly (I'll try anyway). Once I'll have this new text published, I would like to post it in English as well. However, when I tried to create a page calle TERMIUM Plus, I was denied access.

Speedy deletion nomination of Termium

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Termium, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Termium and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --SquidSK ^(1MC^•^log) 18:15, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After reading the above discussion regarding Termium, I have self-reversed my speedy deletion nomination. However, your article is not out of the woods yet. Please add reliable sources, including secondary sources, about this project. --SquidSK ^(1MC^•^log) 18:22, 23 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Good morning, than you for self-reversing your speedy deletion nomination. I've made a couple of additions to the article. I hope to add more references in the near future. Thank you for your patience.
