Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and forbidden by policies, and also violates our username policy.

However, if you feel that there has been a mistake in your blocking, please appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below or email the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Please check that your new username has not already been taken by checking this list.

Request reason:

Content included in post was not promotional, but factual information about what a diabetes educator does. I am an individual who works for an association that provides support to educators, but we do not define or have any influence over who they are or what they do. If my username is a problem because it has AADE in it, I will gladly change it to AMcommunications09 if that will help. I am kind of clueless about how this works. Any help would be appreciated.

Decline reason:

We do not want employees of organizations editing, creating, etc. articles about their employer, which is what you have been doing and what you seem to want to continue to do. Such conflicts of interest are damaging to the project due to the inevitable difficulty in maintaining a neutral point of view. Orange Mike | Talk 17:52, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

{{unblock|I understand Wiki's point of view on conflict of interests concerning creating an entry that promotes a specific organization or product. However, the terms diabetes education and diabetes educator stand alone. AADE is a non-profit organization that did not create the profession and does not attempt to sell it. I know there is a need for wiki users to understand what diabetes education is and who provides it. The entries created for these terms do not promote our organization. They provide information about a profession that is unbiased and factual. I am sorry if it appears that I have violated the terms of wikipedia. It was totally unintentional, as I sincerely believe that there is no conflict of interest in defining a profession, etc. I would truly like to rectify this situation, but I'm not entirely sure how. I've offered to change my user name, which was identified as part of the problem. Please advise me on next steps.}}

Use {{unblock-un}}, which has a line where you can submit your new name. However, be advised that for conflict of interest reasons you still would be strongly discouraged from writing about that organization (I would suggest you could best fulfill AADE's mission by helping to improve the articles about diabetes here from your renamed account).

Donating material on Diabetes education

Hi AADE09. Your article on Diabetes education was recently deleted because as mentioned above it uses content from the AADE website. In order for this material to be used on Wikipedia, legal representatives from your organization must first release the content under a free license via the process described at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. Until then this material will remain deleted. I hope this helps to resolve the situation. Dcoetzee 01:35, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
