User talk:KBProgramCoord
Welcome!
Hello, KBProgramCoord, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Knight-Bagehot Fellowship Program, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Knight-Bagehot Fellowship Program, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "KBProgramCoord", seems to imply that you are editing to promote an organization, product, or website. You may not use Wikipedia to advocate for or promote any company, group, institution, product, or website that you are affiliated with, regardless of your username. I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline.
Also, the English Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 18:56, 28 March 2014 (UTC)

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 ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
