Lpriestas

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 13:39, 15 September 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:

We apologize with the username not meeting the wiki policy. I have here requested a new username for this account. If you could kindly approve the same, it would be of great help in the right direction. Hopecam123 (talk) 17:29, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Renamed and unblocked. Note, even though your goal is noble, you are required to abide by WP:COI and WP:PROMO here. It may be the case that it's inappropriate for anyone to create an article on your topic of interest, even if the goal is noble. See WP:NOTE for how you'd go about establishing notability.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.

Request reason:

To Wiki, With Hopecam wiki page our goal is not to promote or advertise instead we are aiming to have a page for the community to be aware of our organization and what we stand for. We are a very active NGO in the Reston, VA Northern Virginia organizing annual events like 5K / bike races etc. We see similar wiki pages for other NGOs supporting children and diseases and our aim is on the same line. Please review this, also I was still in the process of drafting the wiki page, before the article got removed. kindly appreciate to know your thoughts and give us an opportunity to fix the wiki conflict of interest issue Lpriestas (talk) 17:58, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Firstly, your continued use of "we" to refer to yourself indicates that this account, despite the username change, may still be shared. Secondly, the page you created was blatantly inappropriate for several reasons ranging from copyright to the content itself. "Having a page for the community to be aware of our organization" is promoting your organization. Huon (talk) 18:05, 10 October 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:

Hi, I am here again requesting for an unblock, reason i understand is that the page was reviewed even in the draft mode for reasons like the content was taken directly from Hopecam webpage. I copy and pasted the information for my personal references and placeholders without being aware it was also reviewed prior to submission, and i was not planning on using it for final submission. I would kindly appreciate if you could take time to review and help me on this, as this is also my first wiki page, and it is a learning experience to adhere to the wiki policies.

Decline reason:

I still see no sign that you understand that creating a page to promote your NGO is inappropriate. GoldenRing (talk) 00:18, 15 October 2017 (UTC)
