Copyright violation in Joliet Junior College

Hi, in 2007 in this edit you contributed material to the article on Joliet Junior College that was apparently taken directly from material published by Joliet Junior College, for example here. Based on your user name, I assume you represent Joliet Junior College; however, in order for material previously published on the web to be used on Wikipedia it must be published under a free license. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on how to contribute this information to the project so that it can be used in the article. In the meantime, I have restored the original, less detailed history section. Dcoetzee 01:09, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here 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-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
• Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
• Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
  • 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 you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Requested username:

WileyWolf (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I would like to apologize about the additions to the Notable Alumni list on Joliet Junior College's page that appeared inappropriate for Wikipedia’s standards. I was unaware until just now about how to include references on Wikipedia. Instead of linking names to where the information was cited, I meant to put in references. I am very sorry about the issue. The reason the links were included was only to give readers more information about the alumni mentioned. Our intention was to provide information about the JJC alum -- not promotional content about JJC. I would appreciate it if you could unblock my username or change it to WileyWolf. If I get another username, I will post unbiased information on Wikipedia. We will not post any irrelevant links. Thank you for your time.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline - no response in >3 days (✉→BWilkins←✎) 11:15, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

First, due to WP:COI, you should not be editing article that you have COI with, no matter what username you have. Second, the only "notable alumni" that should be added to any article are those that currently have Wikipedia articles about them. Linking to imdb or a corporate website is not how this works - those are non-notable people, and you're merely attempting to prop up the school. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 18:23, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
