Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added such as to the page Russians in Canada do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 20:22, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Russians in Canada, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. Favonian (talk) 20:24, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Because Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Using Wikipedia for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

  • Add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box.
  • Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
  • Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
  • 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 instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Wikipedia:Appealing a block for more information.

Request reason:

With regards removing our external links for reason of conflict of interest and blocking our access Yes I am associated with linked website www.whoiscanadian.ca, However pleas note that each portal is design so as it will be managed by wic partner Partners ( WIC stakeholders) are non profit, non political and non governmental organizations that represent a specific ethno cultural group in Canada or Canadian organizations abroad representing Canadians living in specific country. These organizations will be the beneficiary of our project. Who Is Canadian Multicultural Directory (WIC) is organization in making. Our main objective is to create a cooperative, friendly and independent organization which will represent all ethno-cultural groups in Canada as well as Canadian entities abroad. Organization which will encourage cooperation between ethno-cultural groups for their mutual benefit and benefit of all Canadians. Even there is economic aspect in the site (there is no advertising in our portal pages with some exception of third parties whos services we using for the benefit of the user.) It is non profit and its goal is to support our project and also support involved non profit organizations.) This site is all about cooperation, information where for example people can compare how news is reported by all parties making the news. Its great project, my interest is to promote cooperation between ethnic groups and show the real advantages of diversity. I hope you do not consider my attempt conflict of interest. I believe that our website is in line what Wikipedia is about and the links will be of interest for Wikipedia users. Best Regards,Whoiscan

Decline reason:

Sorry, however meritorious your site is it still goes against our guidelines for external links. Until you show you understand this aspect of our policies you will likely not be unblocked. Syrthiss (talk) 13:16, 23 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
