Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, UniversityWomen'sClub, does not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy, which is summarized here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Request reason:

Your reason here UniversityWomen'sClub (talk) 12:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC) My apologies, I work for the University Women's Club and was only planning on updating the wiki page, I didnt realise that the username would be an issue and thought it would give more credence to any updates. I am happy to change the username if required.

Decline reason:

It is required. Please pick a new username. Additionally, you will want to review WP:COI. Yamla (talk) 12:24, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thank you for getting back to me so quickly, How do I change the user or do you have to do this for me? Can I use something like '2AudleySq' or 'WK11DB' or does it have to be something completely different such as 'GJackson1886'.

Very kindest regards and thanks for your advice UniversityWomen'sClub (talk) 14:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

WP:USERNAME explains what usernames are acceptable. I suggest staying away from something so directly tied to the University Women's Club, but it doesn't need to be your real name. The instructions for making an unblock request with your chosen username are given above. --Yamla (talk) 14:25, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed, so unblocked. Yamla (talk) 15:23, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this is okay UniversityWomen'sClub (talk) 14:39, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The name looks ok, the other thing you might want to do is explain what you intend to edit and if it is going to be somewhere you work for how you intend to edit that while following the policies on COI and paid editing so as to protect yourself and your employer from unwanted attend around editing something about you. Amortias (T)(C) 15:06, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The plan was really just to ensure the details of the club were accurate (purely factual) and update the history of the club.

I have looked at the COI page and I believe, as long as it is clear in the editing history that it was updated by the UWC, to inform users of the origins of the information then that is okay? UniversityWomen'sClub (talk) 15:16, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Undisclosed conflict of interest

Hello, Jackson1883. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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. --Yamla (talk) 17:27, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

As you have not yet declared your conflict of interest in a manner compliant with WP:COI, I have blocked this account indefinitely. Once you do so here, any administrator is free to lift the block. --Yamla (talk) 11:43, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry Yamla but you are going to have to give me more time to try and work out what you need me to do as I am struggling to interpret what is actually required and you may need to help. It states that I need to disclose my affiliation at the 'top of the affected talk page' but does that mean this page? Can you indicate where at the top of this page this is added as I can't see any obvious are to type, only the 'reply' boxes here at the bottom of the page. or is this where it should it be added? Neither can I see how to add the {{connected contributor}} tag to the user page, it doesn't let me do anything on that page at all so I am not sure how to do that either. Can you give some guidance please? Jackson1883 (talk) 14:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You are currently blocked so can only edit this page. Once you have correctly disclosed your conflict of interest on this page, I'll be happy to unblock you. --Yamla (talk) 19:00, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

okay. So do I just indicate that in these reply boxes? like this:

{{Connected contributor|checked={{subst:today}} by {{u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}|user=Jackson1883|declared=442212827}} Jackson1883 (talk) 08:25, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not quite sure what you are doing there. --Yamla (talk) 15:51, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

me neither! Jackson1883 (talk) 15:59, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am very happy to declare the COI, but I do not understand how to do it. My understanding, from the instructions you provided is that the above 'code' (i.e. {{Connected contributor|checked={{subst:today}} by {{u|{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}}}|user=Jackson1883|declared=442212827}} ) needs to be put into the 'Talk' page. This is the 'Talk' page that I am typing in to leave this message, and this is the only place where I seem to be able to type. So if I do not enter that piece of text into this thread, where am I supposed to put it to declare a COI? Jackson1883 (talk) 09:14, 22 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, could someone kindly advise me on how and where I should be applying the COI code? Thank you in advance for your assistance. Jackson1883 (talk) 14:13, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The only place you can edit is right here, so you should do so here. Template:Connected contributor (paid) explains how to do so. If you are unable to figure out Template:Connected contributor (paid), please tell us exactly and specifically what information you would provide in each of the fields, User1, U1-employer, U1-client, and U1-otherlinks. I'm not trying to trick you here, it's very likely U1-client would be empty as you've stated you work for the University Women's Club rather than stating they are a client of yours. --Yamla (talk) 14:19, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thank you, I am so sorry to be awkward, I am not a coder and am struggling to interpret the requirements. The code mentions 'other links' (which I put in bold), much of the references I have available to me (other than members biographies etc) were written or compiled by members of the club, such as as the minutes book and the club history and also 'Conversation piece', for the club records. As the club is 100% owned by the members (one of the few clubs that are) and as, certainly these 3 documents, were published by the club, would they need to be included as article drafts written by paid editors? The members are not employees so are not paid, but they all have a vested interest in the club, should I include these details under U1-other links? Sorry it's a little convoluted

{{Connected contributor (paid)|User1=Jackson1883|U1-employer=UniversityWomen'sClub|U1-client=UniversityWomen'sClub|U1-otherlinks=Insert relevant links, such as relevant affiliations, disclosures, article drafts written by paid editors, or diffs showing paid contributions being added to articles.}} Jackson1883 (talk) 15:20, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Having a vested interest does indeed make you a paid editor by our definition. I have lifted your block as you are obviously working hard to come into compliance here and are very, very close. Essentially, any time you are editing anything about the University Women's Club, you are acting as a paid editor and should (not must, should) suggest edits on the article's talk page rather than editing directly. I think the exact disclosure you want here is:

{{Connected contributor (paid)|User1=Jackson1883|U1-employer=University Women's Club |U1-otherlinks=Member of University Women's Club, a club 100% owned by its members}}

Double check what I've put there and let me know if you think it's accurate. If so, I'll copy it over into the right places for you and let you know once I've done so. Thanks for your patience here. --Yamla (talk) 17:05, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Yamla, thank you so much for bearing with me here and for your assistance in resolving the COI. Yes that looks about right. So instead of editing directly on the article, I key in my edits here in this thread moving forward? Jackson1883 (talk) 09:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
