Information icon Hello, Lakearea270. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

  • avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
  • propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
  • disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
  • avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
  • do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must 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 WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 19:51, 5 September 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

[edit]

Information icon There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 00:35, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
  • 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 on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, 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 talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

Thank you. Alexf(talk) 17:37, 6 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest

[edit]

Information icon Hello, Karenatlakeareatechnicalcollege. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Lake Area Technical College, 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. Alexf(talk) 00:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

information Note: You have been blocked before, yet you persist in violating the rules. Specifically you have not declared your paid relationship. So, the request is simple. Please stop posting to sites you have a relationship with until the disclosure requirements are met. Failure do so will lead to a block of this account. If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Teahouse. -- Alexf(talk) 00:06, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In regard to my paid relationship, I am employed at Lake Area Technical College as the Communications Specialist. The page is edited on an infrequent basis to provide updates on programs and campus improvements. Karenatlakeareatechnicalcollege (talk) 16:59, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I cannot help but think you did not actually read the relevant policy and guidelines, since you haven't done any of the things outlined in Wikipedia:DISCLOSE. A note here on your talk page is one thing, but what you should aim for is transparency. Drmies (talk) 17:02, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I have recently changed the username as requested and will add the appropriate paid relationship disclaimer the next time I attempt to edit. Karenatlakeareatechnicalcollege (talk) 17:11, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
