Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, MarketingScienceResearch, does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.
Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a "Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.
You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
  1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
  3. Your requested new username cannot already be in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.
Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice. Drmies (talk) 23:42, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
  • I couldn't help but notice that in all your edits you added publications who have "Reimann" in common. Please do not use Wikipedia to promote someone's (or your own) research. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 23:45, 28 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
 
This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Requested username:

Accept reason:

Since the blocking administrator has given only the username as the reason for the block, and explicitly told you that "You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username" and you have now done that, there can no longer be any justification for maintaining the block. I have therefore renamed your account from "MarketingScienceResearch" to "Jolie O'Dell at University of Arizona", and I shall now unblock the account. You will then be welcome to continue editing, but please look at the guideline on "conflict of interest" before doing any more editing, if you haven't already done so. If you are editing about someone who works in the same department as you then that guideline certainly applies to you. JBW (talk) 17:31, 3 January 2022 (UTC)Reply

I am not trying to promote anyone. I have a list of recent publications concerning Marketing and Consumer Neuroscience and was asked to add them to the corresponding Wikipedia pages to provide recently discovered information to viewers.

I am simply trying to update Wikipedia with research from the Marketing department at the University of Arizona. It just so happens that there are common authors.

Who asked you to do this? If you are doing it as part of your job, you would be considered a paid editor and must formally declare that. 331dot (talk) 07:52, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
331dot, my first guess was that the professor enlisted his graduate students--though putting them to work over the break is asking a bit much. The Reimann article is now at AfD (again)--if you look at that article's history it's pretty clear that there was a COI/UPE editor at work there as well. What bothers me most here is the thinly veiled attempt at deception. And the person not signing their comments, of course. Drmies (talk) 16:19, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
That would still be "paid" editing as it's likely tied to their degree they are earning, or student aid I think. 331dot (talk) 17:46, 29 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
