Information icon Hello, I'm Binksternet. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Caprylidene because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Caprylidene, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "AxonaForAD", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and 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. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Your username is clearly intended to promote Caprylidene under the brand name Axona, to treat Alzheimer's disease, thus Axona for AD. Promotional usernames are not allowed.

Hi Binksternet. I have noted you reverting the information added to the article for Caprylidene because it appeared to be promotional. The intent was to provide complete information about the use of caprylidene (trade name Axona) for users wanting to learn more about it, since the existing information was insufficient. I also attempted to make edits under no user name, but those were removed, as well. If there is issue with the text being added or the reference used, please inform me. Otherwise, please let me know it is ok to attempt to put the edits back in, whether under the AxonaForAD name or a different one. Thank you. AxonaForAD (talk) 23:55, 8 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I started a discussion of your editing work; you can take part in the discussion here: Wikipedia talk:Identifying reliable sources (medicine). I noticed that the IP you edited from is in Irvine, which leads me to think that you are working for Brandkarma, getting paid to improve the reputation of Axona. Me, I'm not getting paid, so I don't wish to help make Axona look like a good drug. Binksternet (talk) 20:18, 9 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

hi

[edit]

thanks for thanking us at the talk page for WP:MEDRS. Not sure why you deleted your comment... In any case, following on binkster's note to you above. Your username makes it seem like you work for Accera directly or via contract. IF that is true, I suggest that you a) read the conflict of interest policy closely WP:COI; additionally it would be great if b) you clearly declare any COI you have on your "user page" (see top left corner above) c) and do the same on the Axona page, and d) that for the Axona article, that you limit yourself to making suggestions and talking to folks on the Talk page of the article, rather than making any direct edits to the Axona article itself. welcome to wikipedia, in any case.

Username

[edit]

Hi there. My name is Danger and I'm an administrator here at Wikipedia. I'd like to thank you for working "within the system" if you will; it's always nice to see conflicted editors doing that. However, I'm going to have to repeat Binksternet's notice that this username is not acceptable. You will need to either abandon this account and register a new username or request a change of username here. Note that your new username must represent you personally: accounts may not be shared and names may not promote a product or company. If you do not change your username, this account will be blocked. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them here or on my talk page. Danger High voltage! 20:20, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Danger, I have left a message for you on your talk page. Thank you. BKWiki17992 18:00, 17 May 2013 (PST)
