User talk:Coach Graeme

May 2010

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. Thank you. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 13:35, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Broken Links, or "Link Rot"

You suggested that there are many broken links to your site on wikipedia because of a redesign. I would like to submit the World Wide Web Consortium's article, "Cool URIs don't change" for your consideration. Note that this article is written by the original architect of the world wide web, Tim Berners-Lee. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluethegrappler (talk • contribs) 21:09, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Links that need fixing

There appears to be just 8 pages that have links to coachesinfo.com;

• List of international cricketers called for throwing
• Total Immersion
• Glossary of water polo
• Muttiah Muralitharan
• Water polo
• Tumble turn
• Approach (cricket)
• Muscle

Please do fix these if they are broken.

For more help, you can either;

• Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
• Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
• Talk to us live, with this or this.

The last of those is particularly useful - please try it; pop in now and say hello.  Chzz  ►  16:55, 14 May 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Coach Graeme, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 03:52, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
