Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "CheyneWikiEditor", 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. 331dot (talk) 16:34, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Role accounts are not permitted, please choose a more individualistic username that indicates you are the only one operating this account. Your edit request will be more likely to be acted on if you mark it as a formal request, see WP:ER for instructions. 331dot (talk) 16:36, 28 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello WikiWN888. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:WikiWN888. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=WikiWN888|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. 331dot (talk) 08:40, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I am not an expert at this. I have a conflict of interest, which I hope I managed to disclose, but am not specifically a paid editor. Please let me know how best to make this edit request if not in this way. Thanks WikiWN888 (talk) 09:31, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What is the general nature of your conflict of interest? Note that "paid editing" is not limited to specific payment for edits, but includes any paid relationship like employment in any capacity.

You made a COI edit request correctly, but otherwise did not disclose, which you should do on your user page(User:WikiWN888). 331dot (talk) 09:45, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yes I am employed by the company. Please advise me on how to express this. Many thanks WikiWN888 (talk) 10:25, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
