[edit]Hello, Openmeteringsystem. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Open metering system, 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Dl2000 (talk) 22:13, 3 September 2024 (UTC)
- Hello Dl2000,
- I would like to clarify our relationship and address the concerns raised.
- Conflict of Interest (COI): We are contracted to handle administrative tasks for OMS, including Wikipedia contributions, precisely to avoid COI. OMS members themselves do not edit the page to maintain neutrality.
- Nature of Work: Our work does not involve promotional content or editorial influence. We only manage edits that comply with Wikipedia policies.
- Paid Disclosure: We disclose our administrative role and do not hold any interests in OMS. Our work adheres to Wikipedia’s paid-contribution disclosure policy.
- We are committed to ensuring all contributions are neutral and well-sourced. Proposed edits and discussions will continue to be raised on the talk page as needed. Openmeteringsystem (talk) 09:52, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- @Openmeteringsystem: Can you clarify what you mean by "we"? Does more than one person have access to this Wikipedia account? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:30, 1 October 2024 (UTC)
- exactly, aren't Wikipedia accounts per user? Tuju (talk) 10:34, 13 December 2024 (UTC)

[edit]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. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 11:08, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
