Maecenata Stiftung
Welcome!
editHello, Maecenata Stiftung, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Wikipedia:Requests for page importation, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial
- How to edit a page and How to develop articles
- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Blocked
edit
You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
- 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.
{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Graham87 15:12, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- I have declined your importation request. Graham87 15:12, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
- Hey there, I am hereby asking to unblock the account again. We are a civil society organization, doing research, and were trying to have a translation from our German wikipedia entry.
- That was all I tried, so in no way was that connected to advertising or promotion.
- Looking forward to your reply. 82.82.86.203 (talk) 19:08, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

Per below. They do it over there but we don't do it here. Beep beep! — Daniel Case (talk) 06:11, 22 July 2022 (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.
The above request was made by an IP. If that was you, please log in to confirm. Please also note that on the English Wikipedia, accounts are strictly for single individuals only, not organizations. I realize organization accounts are permitted and encouraged on the German Wikipedia, but they are not permitted here. Now, changing the name of this account would also change it there. If you don't want to do that, we can permit you to create your own personal account that no one else has access to. Otherwise, you will need to designate a single person to exclusively operate this account and propose a new username as instructed. 331dot (talk) 20:12, 21 July 2022 (UTC)
