Welcome!

Hello, Christian Solidarity Worldwide, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Misplaced Pages
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Misplaced Pages:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Please also read our guidelines on conflict of interest and read our FAQ for organizations. Your edits to the Aung San Suu Kyi and Karen people articles are promotional in nature and do not satisfy these guidelines. --RegentsPark (sticks and stones) 18:05, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Promotion

CSW is not a reliable source for referencing items in Misplaced Pages. We welcome all contributions to Misplaced Pages that can be properly referenced. Keep in mind that Misplaced Pages is not a promotional tool. SchmuckyTheCat (talk)

Why can't I edit Misplaced Pages?

Because Misplaced Pages does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Misplaced Pages's use for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Organization and Misplaced Pages:Conflict of interest for our rules 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 probably not be allowed to edit Misplaced Pages again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Misplaced Pages 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.
