User talk:Orchetect

Welcome

Hello, Orchetect, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

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 and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of what username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

Canceled unblock request, reason: I am trying to file for a username change (as admin requested) but cannot because editing is blocked. This account is not meant for promotional editing of any kind, it was merely to get a blank-page article started that already had links to from other articles. I anticipate more articles will link to it in future as well, so it is worthwhile to have a fleshed-out article instead of a blank page. I will add citations as requested and try my best to resolve any outstanding concerns. Thanks for your help and patience! Orchetect (talk) 13:43, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You can create an entirely new account, which is what was reccomended - or, if you want to keep your current account under a different name, you should use the {{Unblock-spamun}} template. :) - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 19:38, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
