User talk:Braingym1

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Braingym1) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guideline to avoid editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations.The article in question is Brain Gym. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}. Thank you.

Response from Braingym1

Response: - Hello Looie496 - I am the Webmaster for BrainGym. I have been authorized & instructed to make the recent changes directly from Gail Dennison. There were incorrect, false & potentially libelous statements made that required corrections. In addition, objective details were added to the Brain Gym content, none of which broke any Wikipedia rules. A new username/account "BrainGym Webmaster" has been created per your instruction to create a new account representing an individual. Braingym1 (talk) 19:13, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You are perfectly in your right to protect the interests of your employer, however, you need to understand that there is a right way to do business, and then there is the wrong way. Having been blocked twice now, perhaps you will read some of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines and try to work with the Wikipedia community instead of acting like a vigilante? I would be happy to assist any user who presented there case and allowed for others to respond to their viewpoints, and I know that goes for most other Wikipedia editors as well. __meco (talk) 20:28, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

We certainly don't want libelous and inaccurate information in our articles, and will certainly make sure it is removed if it is properly pointed out. But the way you are going about this is very counterproductive. To begin with, we have found it necessary not to tolerate legal threats of any sort, and so the first thing you must do, if you want any cooperation, is to withdraw the statements above; see WP:NLT. Secondly, our policy is that accounts represent individual people, not organizations, and account names can't give the impression that they officially represent organizations. I am sorry to be obstructive when you may well be operating with good intentions, but these points are not negotiable. Looie496 (talk) 20:36, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
