Managing a conflict of interest
editHello, Daniel.mallaco. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Talk:PureTalk, 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);
- 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. You have a conflict of interest: it's obvious. Please follow the above links, read the guidelines and policies, and disclose your COI appropriately. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 18:41, 4 April 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:
I am an official representative of the brand PureTalk, with not a ton of experience using the website as this is my first time doing it. I was not aware of Wikipedia's COI guidelines, but I am now. Over the last week or so, multiple accounts logged in and edited our page with missinformation and we were expecting to remove that and add the correct info to it. If unblocked, I will only work with the objective of removing fake information from the relevant page, and I will follow Wikipedia's process of declaring COI from now on.
Decline reason:
You need to make the stricter paid editing disclosure if you are the official representative of your company(the paid disclosure also covers COI, you don't need to do both, though you should read both policies). You are only blocked from the PureTalk article itself- which you shouldn't be directly edting anyway- but you may propose edits on the talk page(Talk:PureTalk) in the form of an edit request(click for instructions), detailing changes you feel are needed. 331dot (talk) 08:39, 5 April 2024 (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.
- You're only blocked from the article. Nothing prevents you from declaring your COI according to the guidelines--but I can't tell whether you actually read those or not. Drmies (talk) 00:19, 5 April 2024 (UTC)
