Managing a conflict of interest

Responding to the contested deletion

[edit]

Hi, I've decided to reply here since your message at Talk:Will Bates (composer) may be deleted alongside the page itself.

You wrote:

This page should not be speedily deleted because the bio in question was composed/written by Rhapsody PR for Will Bates per his request. In adition to being a composer and multi-instrumentalist, Will Bates is also the founder of Fall On Your Sword (which has it's own approved wikipedia page). ... The bio was composed/written by Rhapsody PR in their own words. The bio has been accessible to members of the press to share on their sites (including the website mentioned below).

This may be, but Wikipedia has particular rules around copyright which mean that we cannot accept the text verbatim even if permission has been granted to the press to use it.

But setting aside the copyright rules, the bigger problem is that it goes against the rules against advertising and promotion. Please consider the note above about managing a conflict of interest. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 01:01, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. 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.

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 (this 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 ~~~~}}
