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

There are two issues with this:

  1. It is possible that you 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 Bonnie Bergin. Thank you.

I'm also reverting your edits as they don't comply with WP:BLP in various ways - unsourced information, promotion (the 'Meet Bonnie Bergin', not using her surname rather than first name, etc. Dougweller (talk) 18:07, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Per your post at Dougs talkpage , please read the post Doug left above, as it explains why he reverted your edits. Also, read all of the blue links in his post, as they explain the problems with your edits, problems with our username policy you may have, what WP:COI is, and a few very other pertinent facts for your situation. Also, it is not a good idea to leave your personal email or phone number on a WP page as you did in your post on Dougs page. Heiro 18:34, 2 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.
