Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, GSafety. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Gaggle (software), you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Liliana (UwU / nya) 22:48, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

  • Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. SpencerT•C 02:56, 9 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

This was my first post on Wikipedia and I failed to understand/read all of the rules prior to posting. I was in violation of having a COI, as I'm an employee of the company and did not disclose that information on my post. I will be sure to follow the Wikipedia rules moving forward. Please allow me a redo.

Accept reason:

I have renamed your account and will remove the block. Please see the comment by the blocking admin below. 331dot (talk) 09:22, 17 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please tell us how you will follow those rules. Do you understand that a Wikipedia article summarizes what independent reliable sources say, and will not necessarily say what the subject might prefer? That said, if there are errors, there are proper ways to request changes. 331dot (talk) 20:04, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi 331dot, I will follow the rules outlined in Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and Wikipedia:Reliable sources prior to posting. I will also utilize content proposals on the talk pages of existing articles, and put any new articles through the articles for creation process, so they can be reviewed prior to being published. I understand that Wikipedia summarizes independent reliable sources. Thank you. GSafety (talk) 20:22, 16 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
