User talk:MarianMinerCMC

Hello, CMC Data Editor. 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. Wiiformii (talk) 20:22, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to 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 still available.

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. 331dot (talk) 20:44, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your username seems to be that of a position("data editor") which is not permitted, the username must indicate that the account is exclusively used by a single person (your real name is not required). You will also need to comply with WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 20:46, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i just sent up the unblock reason. Not sure you can see it thanks.. I am super confused. CMC Data Editor (talk) 22:47, 22 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

officialclaremontmckennacollege (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am the web administrator for the college and am trying to upload graphics in wiki commons and manage our "wiki data" information this is in line with the user name officialpomonacollege that has modified wikipedia pages in the past. CMC Data Editor (talk) 22:46, 22 August 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

As per below. That username is worse. Additionally, you have a conflict of interest, see WP:COI. Yamla (talk) 10:44, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

so is the official pomona college id then also suspended?

please advise CMC Data Editor (talk) 17:40, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That's no better as a username- your account must indicate that a specific individual is exclusively operating it- accounts that represent a business and can be shared are not permitted(such as "official Claremont McKenna college"). Others at your organization, like colleagues or successors to your position, will need their own accounts(but they should not create them yet). If you want to indicate your college in the username, you may format it as "JohnDoe of CMC" or similar. Your real name is not required. Your username is also not the only issue here. 331dot (talk) 09:39, 23 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

what then is the rationale behind having the official pomona college user name are they blocked. What other issues are you seeing beyond the user name? please advise CMC Data Editor (talk) 17:38, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The account "Officialpomonacollege" was blocked ten years ago for the same reason your account was blocked (WP:ORGNAME).

Your edits thus far appear to be constructive. However, we far prefer editors in your position to learn the process of making edit requests for articles where you have a clear conflict of interest. This helps to reassure other editors that you are not putting the interests of your employer ahead of Wikipedia's. All editors must place the interests of the encyclopedia and its readers above personal concerns. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

per the suggested solution from 331dot CMC Data Editor (talk) 17:44, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I will remove the blocm as discussed. Please ask if you have any questions. 331dot (talk) 18:47, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That would be fine as a new username, but that is not the only issue here. I am willing to remove the block if you agree to use the edit request process to propose edits instead of making them yourself(see the comment by Drm310 above). 331dot (talk) 19:50, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

i will support the edit request process throught talk and i have to add in the profile that i am an employee of CMC ..Let me know if that suffices. CMC Data Editor (talk) 21:18, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

thank you for the assistance MarianMinerCMC (talk) 19:03, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your notice on your user page. You're the only one who's operating this account, right? Your user page makes it seem like others have access to it. 331dot (talk) 19:45, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

yes i am the only one.. should i make a change ? to the context

thanks MarianMinerCMC (talk) 19:42, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It would be helpful to make it clearer that this is your account. 331dot (talk) 19:44, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
