Gabby at Radius Book Group

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. 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.

 Thank you. Hammersoft (talk) 02:17, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:

I'm making it clear that I work for Radius and I have also clarified my conflict of interest on my user page. Radiusbookgroupwiki (talk) 15:05, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I have renamed and unblocked your account. You should be aware of WP:PAID and WP:COI. Welcome back. PhilKnight (talk) 15:36, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Gabby, welcome back. PhilKnight noted above that you should be aware of WP:PAID. I know it will sound like bureaucratic pinheadedness, but there's a difference between declaring a conflict of interest and a paid contribution disclosure. You've made the conflict of interest declaration. Great! However, if you are being paid in any sense by your employer for your contributions to Wikipedia, you need to read and abide by WP:PAID in order to comply with our terms of use. If you have questions about this, please let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 20:28, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
