August 2018[edit]

Hello, AlphaGo60. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page PRA Group, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
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 must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Promotional editing can be done either by adding of promotional content or removal of well-sourced unfavourable content.

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to blank out or remove portions of page content, templates, or other materials from Wikipedia without adequate explanation, as you did at PRA Group, you may be blocked from editing. You will also be blocked from editing if you continue to edit contrary to Wikipedia's policy o neutral point of view or contrary to the requirements mentioned above.

Your addition to PRA Group has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 12:17, 7 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This is one of a group of single-purpose accounts which have been created for the purpose of using Wikipedia to promote a business. As well as adding promotional content to an article about that business, some of it written in blatant marketing-speak, the accounts have repeatedly removed well-sourced content unfavourable to that business. You have been informed of Wikipedia's policy on promotional editing, the guideline on conflict of interest, and the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use relating to paid editing, but you have ignored that information, and continued to use several accounts in ways which are contrary to those requirements. The accounts that have recently been involved in this unacceptable activity have therefore been indefinitely blocked from editing. (At least one account used earlier for the same purpose remains unblocked, but it will also be blocked if it returns to editing, as will any other accounts.) The article will also be protected for a short while to prevent resumption of the same kind of editing. It will be possible if necessary to protect it for much longer, but I hope that you will not make that necessary, as it might cause inconvenience for some legitimate editors wishing to contribute to that article too. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of this page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
