Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, YPT50. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Young People's Theatre, you may have a conflict of interest. People with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, see the conflict of interest guideline and frequently asked questions for organizations. In particular, please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, its competitors, or projects and products you or they are involved with;
• instead, propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosure of your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing, and autobiographies. Thank you. Widr (talk) 18:23, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

Hello - I am a company employee of Young People's Theatre, and have permission to copy that info from www.youngpeoplestheare.ca on their behalf. However, I didn't realize I had to reference the website as a source and use my own words, so I will do so in future. Is there a way to unblock the page now? Thanks.

Un-block requests

I reverted this edit in which you posted a message asking for another account to be unblocked.

First, un-block requests should be made by the blocked account on that account's own talk page. That is the one page that blocked editors are allowed to edit.

Second, because the account name violates Wikipedia's username policy it will almost certainly not be unblocked.

However, if that editor has not already done so, he is free to create a new account and edit under that account.

@Young People's Theatre: as it is your account that is blocked, I figured you should read this. You can't reply here but you can put a note on your own user-talk page, User talk:Young People's Theatre. If you type {{ping|Davidwr}} as part of your message on that page and you sign your message using ~~~~, then it will get my attention. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 03:35, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
