Your addition to Erwin Sniedzins has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted.

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

There are two issues with this:

1. You may 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.
2. 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 Erwin Sniedzins. Thank you. Minor4th • talk 23:02, 15 July 2010 (UTC)

Request reason:

As the post was meant for a description of Erwin Sniedzins biography, it was not meant to be written in a non-neutral manner. When linking to external sites, this was done to follow Wikipedia's own validation criteria of proving any claims made about an article. It seems odd that by trying to maintain this policy, one would be blocked. The method of posting information and/or content about Wikipedia has become extremely cumbersome and complex that a simple way posting biographical information about him.

Decline reason:

No grounds for unblocking provided.--jpgordon^{::==( o )} 20:59, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
