Talk page notifications

I just saw a notification that you made on a user whose talk page a watch about the group ICIWORLD and a potential meetup in real life. Please do not send such messages via Wikipedia talk pages. Wikipedia cannot be used as a way to promote outside activities or events, no matter whether the invitation is for commercial or non-commercial purposes. User talk pages are to be used for communicating issues necessary for the growth of the encyclopedia. Ideally, you should now go and remove all of those invitations from the pages you posted them on. Thank you for understanding. Qwyrxian (talk) 06:22, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

the purpose of those messages is solely to provide a medium in which to grow the encyclopaedia. truth be told, I thought that perhaps there may be some issues with such a meet up, but wasn't sure. I will happily delete/edit them if required. Am I allowed to use email as a way to talk with fellow Wikipedians so that we can collaborate and work together to further information that we are all interested in? If so I will simply edit those posts on talk pages, if not, I will happily delete them, thanks for bearing with me.ICIWORLD (talk) 06:47, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest

Hi, I also saw one of your talk page notifications. You said that your organization "promotes the exchange and development of accurate Korean historical information around the world" and that you want to "do this through wikipedia." You also said "we can see if we can all try and formulate a plan to contribute to wikipedia together and for you to be rewarded for editing. "

  • Rewarding people for editing on Wikipedia will present a conflict of interest. We try our best to be a neutral encyclopedia, so giving people compensation for editing for an organization is not allowed.
  • Gathering people to promote a particular point of view or sway consensus is what we call canvassing or WP:COI#Campaigning. Even though you only want to inform and educate people, others who are not part of your organization may not understand your intentions, and it may seem overly promotional, so that is why we try not to do that.

I don't know what your plans are, but if you are thinking of doing either one of these things, please understand we do not allow these practices. Please be careful not to do them. Other than that, I am glad you want to encourage people to edit Wikipedia, and indeed I hope we will be as accurate in our history articles as possible and welcome any verifiable and reliable corrections you have to offer. If you have any questions about what I said or anything else, please feel free to ask and I will do the best I can to help. Thanks for your understanding and your participation in Wikipedia, -- Joren (talk) 07:07, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

thanks again for your advice. By reward I meant we are able to issue people that spend time updating Korean based articles with Certificates of Volunteer for the time that they have spent doing so. I don't want to "canvass" or sway people to a particular side or view-point. Our aim is to simply produce more articles with more information about Korea. Of course we expect the information to not be biased and to always be neutral. Thanks again for informing me of that previously unknown information, I look forward to improving wikipedia articles with valid references information. If I need any assistance I will no doubt use you as my second point of contact-after consulting the help pages that is.ICIWORLD (talk) 07:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Iciworld, thanks for your reply (btw - I'm not the same person as Qwyrxian, above) I saw that you removed the notices, and I want to thank you for taking action so quickly to avoid any misunderstandings. I am glad we were able to understand each other.
BTW - have you talked with people at Wikipedia:WikiProject Korea? That seems to be the best forum to coordinate improving Korea-related articles -- they might even give barnstars if they use them, I dunno (they are like the Wikipedia version of certificates). If your goal is to make the articles better I am sure they will be happy to advise :)

Username block

Your username may be blocked any moment as Wikipedia prohibits user names representing organisations. Kindly choose another username and discard this username as soon as possible. Kindly do read our Username policy whenever possible so that the new username you choose adheres to Wikipedia's username policy. If you need any assistance or clarification, feel free to drop into my talk page and leave a message. Regards. Wifione ....... Leave a message 15:14, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
Probably not. See WP:FAQ/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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
What can I do now?
You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
  • Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
  • Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
  • Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. TNXMan 15:11, 16 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
