Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Mhgodofx. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} 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 WP:Spam);
• 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. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 17:42, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Your username

Hi, Mhgodofx! Welcome to Wikipedia!

I want to let you know your Wikipedia user name together with your contribution clearly discloses your affiliation to GoDoFX company, which makes your name promotional. As such it is contrary to Wikipedia's username policy and may cause a block of your account.

For more information please see the policy at Wikipedia:Username policy, esp. the WP:CORPNAME part.

Also consider changing the name ASAP to avoid the block. You'll find relevant guidelines at WP:UNC. --CiaPan (talk) 18:03, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

Here is a more formal and more informative message:

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Mhgodofx", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --CiaPan (talk) 18:15, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

July 2021

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|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. Orange Mike | Talk 19:40, 4 July 2021 (UTC)

• An FYI for any reviewing admin should the user appeal. Per the discussion on the Help Desk, this user is at significant risk of being promotional, but has not yet actually done so (username notwthstanding). As such, I'd advise "stern warnings" rather than presumptive page-bans in any unblock discussion. Nosebagbear (talk) 11:17, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
  • Addendum: here is the discussion mentioned above: Wikipedia:Help desk/Archives/2021 July 4#Create and publish the individual profile and our company profile in Wikipedia. --CiaPan (talk) 08:20, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
