Welcome to Wikipedia, CenterforIsraelEducation! Thank you for
your contributions. I am
Epeefleche and I have been editing Wikipedia for some time, so if you have any questions feel free to leave me a message on
my talk page. You can also check out
Wikipedia:Questions or type {{
helpme}}
at the bottom of this page. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
Also, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); that will automatically produce your username and the date. I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Epeefleche ( talk) 19:35, 3 October 2013 (UTC)
Thanks so much for your message! I'm very excited about getting more involved! First question, is this the right place to start a conversation? I have a couple of of questions.
Thanks! Patrick
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case ( talk) 03:14, 5 October 2013 (UTC)
Hi Daniel, thanks so much for your help. I completely understand that changing my username DOES NOT give me the right to violate the 3 principles you mentioned above.
- I don't intend to use this as a link depository. My boss is a published author who is an expert on the Middle East so he does have a lot of valuable information that can be contributed but I understand the necessity of adding information that has been verified by 3rd parties and is not just a page on our Website. - I do understand the conflict of interest and a member of the staff should NOT BE pushing our own material unless we are simply highlighting a relevant piece of information that has been independently verified and published. The information I've tried to contribute thus far does not represent a point of view, rather important supplementary facts that help fill-in the articles. - I understand this has to be done the proper way, no original research. Notable contributions will come from 3rd party verification, from trusted sources and no original research.
