Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, DPCComms. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Jim McDowell, 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:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest 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 please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:32, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:DPCComms, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=DPCComms|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 03:37, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus, rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement.

Points to note:

1. Edit warring is disruptive regardless of how many reverts you have made;
2. Do not edit war even if you believe you are right.

If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes and work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. -INeedSupport- ^:3 03:49, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

• 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.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. TonyBallioni (talk) 04:09, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

As Chief Executive of DPC, Jim asked us to update his page; we are DPC employees and he has approved the content we are trying to contribute to his Wiki page. We are first time users and are unsure which elements of the information we've provided have resulted in a block

Decline reason:

Multiple issues here: WP:NOSHARE, WP:ROLE, WP:PAID, WP:COI and WP:CORPNAME all apply. You will not be unblocked until you address these issues, which will probably require that you undertake to avoid writing about your CEO. Yunshui ^雲_水 08:32, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

• Just as a note, no comment as to the merits of this request, but any admin who is convinced that the user will follow policy is free to unblock without further consulting me after they are renamed. This is not a soft block, though so making sure the policy concerns are addressed is key. TonyBallioni (talk) 05:00, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
• Thanks but what do we do now? Do we wait or are there any other steps we should take? As stated, we are new to this and would appreciate advice.
• Well, "we" is a problem. One user id- one person. Not a group. Please follow the renaming instructions i the block notice. Also, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We really don't want corporately approved content from a subject's employees. That's what your company's web site and social media are for. It is not his wiki page. It is an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking. You must read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. You may suggest edits on the subject's talk page; you mayn't edit directly.-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 09:07, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
