Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for
your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (OECD Development Centre) may not meet Wikipedia's
username policy because it appears to represent the entity you're writing about. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a
change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you.

Request reason:
per request on my talk page
Accept reason:
to change username. Please make a request at WP:CHU as soon as possible to avoid a re-block, requesting a new username which represents only you as an individual. Read down to the bottom of that page and click on "Simple". There is a link here to check whether your choice is already taken. JohnCD ( talk) 12:43, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Please understand that Wikipedia is not like Myspace and other sites where people and organizations write about themselves. That is one of the reasons why usernames which appear to be names of groups or organizations are not permitted - accounts must be for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them.
Even with an individual username, in editing about the OECD Development Centre you will have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, and should read carefully that policy and also WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.
You may find User:JohnCD/Not a noticeboard helpful.
Regards, JohnCD ( talk) 12:49, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
I unblocked and requested my name change, which is exactly what I did. The name change has not yet come through, but the only edit I made was to remove a copy/paste copyright warning since there were no copy/pastes made. I have been very patient waiting for my name change request to come through. Please also notice that what you claim to be copyright infringement are links that have been up for many years, since the initial creation of the page in 2008. The second link you state as copyright infringement was not created nor posted by me. I would suggest that in the future if you spot material that presents a potential risk of copyright infringement you delete the link or refuse the change and alert the person who made the edit instead of deleting the page, depriving the public of the information entirely.
N.B. Since starting this statement I now see that my name change request has come through. You may now contact me at VED_sur_seine OECD Development Centre ( talk) 15:56, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
OK. I'll try another name. For the fairly severe constraint, that is exactly what i planned on adhering to. If you look at the page you will see that it is filled with only factual information. I'm not editing the page to advertise the Organisation, but just to make sure people get the proper and most up to date facts. Thanks again OECD Development Centre ( talk) 15:10, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Hello VED sur seine, and what a terrible shock it was that the WP volunteer JamesBWatson had speedily deleted the article OECD Development Centre, without any warning to me.
And then, what a godsend it was to see that you had already informed him on his Talk page that OECD webpages are not copyrighted! Please see my Talk page for my response, requesting speedy un-deletion of the article.
I hope that you (or whoever) can in fact help me maintain the article. Updating it has been a high priority for me for months already, but I am fighting for time to do it, and may not get it done for years... Doing my best is the best I can do, and it's not good enough.(!*!) I have not checked the article for more than a year, say (I don't remember), so I'm looking forward to seeing it again, after it's restored.
Good luck to us all, For7thGen ( talk) 20:47, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
Welcome, and thank you for
contributing the page
Le Centre de développement de l’OCDE to Wikipedia. While you have added the page to the English version of Wikipedia, the article is not in English. We invite you to translate it into English. It has been listed at
Pages Needing Translation, but if it is not translated within two weeks, the article will be listed for deletion. Thank you.
Bienvenu(e), et merci de votre contribution de la page
Le Centre de développement de l’OCDE à Wikipédia. Bien que vous ayez introduit cette page à la version anglaise de Wikipédia, elle n'est pas en anglais et elle a donc été ajoutée à la liste des
pages en besoin de traduction. Nous vous invitons à la traduire vous-même, mais si elle n'est pas traduite d'ici deux semaines, on proposera sa suppression. Merci.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Le Centre de développement de l’OCDE. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – OECD Development Centre. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at OECD Development Centre – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Bazj ( talk) 12:20, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
Nous vous prions de ne pas ajouter de texte en français à la version anglophone de Wikipédia. Par contre, vos contributions en français sont bienvenues sur la

you have written about in the article
Le Centre de développement de l’OCDE, you may have a
conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the
conflict of interest guideline and
frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

Thanks for uploading or contributing to File:OECD Development Centre Logo.jpeg. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under non-free content criteria, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to the file description page, and edit it to include a non-free rationale.
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the " my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 ( talk) 00:41, 22 February 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for uploading File:OECD Development Centre Logo.jpeg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. -- B-bot ( talk) 21:08, 22 September 2021 (UTC)
