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.

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. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.

• 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 of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

• The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
• The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.
• 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 user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. 

Thank you. Hadal (talk) 17:42, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

Did not understand the guidelines for creating a Wikipedia username

Decline reason:

I'm afraid we already have someone by that name. You are welcome to pick another, it doesn't have to be your actual name. Note, though, that you have a direct conflict of interest (WP:COI) with regard to Anat Shenker-Osorio. Your single edit there ([1]) was fine, but you'll need to declare your conflict of interest once unblocked, and should avoid directly editing that article. Yamla (talk) 18:21, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi, thanks so much for letting me know. Since I work for Anat Shenker-Osorio, is there no way I can edit this article? Even just for simple grammatical errors (which there are quite a few)? Thank you! ASOComms (talk) 18:26, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

You must declare your conflict of interest. You should then suggest edits on the article's talk page. Simple grammatical errors of the sort you fixed already are fine, but anything more substantial should be brought up as a suggestion on the article talk page rather than edited directly. --Yamla (talk) 18:42, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you. How/where do I declare my conflict of interest? And what is the talk page? How/where do I access this?

And can you change my username to Liz Brown at ASO Communications? Does that work? ASOComms (talk) 18:45, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

I have renamed you and lifted your block. The article you were editing is at Anat Shenker-Osorio. Its talk page is at Talk:Anat Shenker-Osorio. Depending on whether you are using a desktop or a mobile browser, you may be able to get to the "talk page" or the "discussion page" (i.e. Talk:Anat Shenker-Osorio) from a link on the article page itself. You should declare your conflict on the talk page, Talk:Anat Shenker-Osorio, by following the directions in [[2]]. It's a bit tricky, but you are clearly making a good faith effort to follow the policy and that'll be taken into account. :) --Yamla (talk) 18:57, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thanks so much. I think I correctly declared the COI. Appreciate your changing the username and lifting the block! Liz Brown at ASO Communications (talk) 19:32, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Looks good to me. Happy editing! --Yamla (talk) 20:17, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Thank you so much!! Liz Brown at ASO Communications (talk) 21:59, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

Hi Yamla - Yesterday I suggested edits to this page, using the talk page. I am just wondering what the process is then for these edits to possibly be accepted? So far, the external Wiki page does not look like it has been updated at all as per my suggestions. Can you let me know how this exactly works? Am I still just waiting for a Wiki admin to accept my suggested edits and then they will update on the external site? Thanks so much for any guidance here!

Hi! Just checking in on this as I don't see any changes. Thank you for your help! Liz Brown at ASO Communications (talk) 15:35, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
