User talk:GOPAC

Welcome!

Hello, GOPAC, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Wikipedia:Files for upload, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Wikipedia:Files for upload, and I noticed that your username, "GOPAC", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 14:18, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

I need to update the GOPAC logo on the company page. The logo was created by GOPAC and can be found at http://www.gopac.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/04/gopac-logo.png.

Hello Megaroso, there are several issues here. First of all, since you apparently created a new account with a username that agrees with the username policy, I have blocked User:GOPAC. You are welcome to continue to contribute with your new account. Please take a moment to review the policy WP:PAID on disclosure requirements for paid editors. You may need to add a statement to your user page to disclose your employer, client and affiliation to comply with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use.

I will upload the image and add it to the article. Huon (talk) 18:14, 15 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
