Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Andriagerry. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Seattle Great Wheel, 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. SounderBruce 00:04, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

Account blocked

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group (in this case, 2 individuals), organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. kingboyk (talk) 00:52, 21 July 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:

i previously combined my name with my spouse so WP thinks I am a group. I am one person trying to get a valid user name and was having a hard time considering my last name is very generic. I am new at this and am trying to navigate WP correctly. I was hoping to add some improvements to pages that could use more information so I appreciate WP helping me navigate all of this. there is a lot more to it than I realized!

Accept reason:

Hello Andriagerry. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Andriagerry. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Andriagerry|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.
Please be aware that we have little interest in trademarks or the opinions of the owners of an article's subject-- we go by common usage, but you did the right thing by trying to discuss it as you did. Please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. It is likely that you will need to request edits (as you did) rather than editing directly. Thank you for your time and consideration.   Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:32, 25 July 2019 (UTC) ____________________________________________________________________________ I will investigate the user page for myself. Full disclosure I am a paid employee, and absolutely NOT part of the ownership group as previously accused. If my requested name change is accepted, great; if not, great. it bears no difference on my employment, and i gain nothing by its approval. I am simply trying to correct the name to the grammatically correct name for this Seattle Landmark. I was hoping to add more pictures and relevent information that others would not know. Given I am an employee I have the unique position to ADD valuable content, including to correct incorrect information on the page. Given WP does not care to follow proper naming conventions, and in fact references wrong information in order to jusify their choice of an incorrect name, I am not sure my effort is worth it and unfortunately gives me the impression WP is not a reliable source of true information. (Andrianina7 (talk) 22:06, 25 July 2019 (UTC))

(chuckle) We are even then-- the Wikipedia community doesn't consider information provided by subjects to be reliable either. I never said you were an owner. It is quite clear you are operating under orders. FYI, all content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking. Please understand that any edit you suggest must be supported by information from these reliable, verifiable, independent sources. Cheers, and happy editing.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:00, 25 July 2019 (UTC)

Oh, please read the information I linked below, it should help optimize your time and efforts.  Dlohcierekim (talk) 23:02, 25 July 2019 (UTC)
