Monoclemag

Welcome!

Hello, Monoclemag, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited 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 any other 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 firm 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.)

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
• The five pillars of 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! sats 13:01, 21 July 2013 (UTC)

Please read messages

Continuing to edit the article with your user name - ignores the issues related to WP:COI - to save your edits (it would be very easy for a less tolerant editor to simply delte your edits) seriously consider changing the name or editing under a different name, just because one editor is being kind to you - another might have one look at the connection and delete your edits because you ignored the notice... sats 00:04, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Check the second point of the summary - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Plain_and_simple_conflict_of_interest_guide sats 00:18, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

Emphatic ditto. Please read the above messages. (1) You cannot continue to edit under a "company name", and (2) you should not continue to edit the article directly - instead suggest changes on the talkpage (as you did with the rename suggestion). Please please read the above, for details. –Quiddity (talk) 17:28, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

If you dont understand what another editor has advised as well - you will be blocked WP:BLOCK, and your edits reverted, for ignoring advice on how wikipedia works. Your choice how you do it. sats 14:43, 3 August 2013 (UTC)

August 2013

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Monoclemag", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website which relates to the entity in question, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our Conflict of interest guideline and Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 17:07, 4 August 2013 (UTC)

Account change

Hi all, this account will not remain my primary. I am a fan of the magazine not a representative. I will set up and account in my own name.

Thank you for the advice.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Monoclemag, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. 

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf^(talk) 16:19, 13 August 2013 (UTC)
