May 2018[edit]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Hoichoitv, 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:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. 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 "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
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 think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 17:44, 27 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, that username is too similar to an existing username. Please choose another name and then edit the above template with your choice. PhilKnight (talk) 22:53, 4 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

To the user behind this account: Whatever you change your name to, you have an obvious conflict of interest and you shouldn't be editing articles related to Hoichoi or any other topic you are affiliated with. Having a conflict of interest is a serious ethical concern. I'm sure you know what ethics are. People with conflicts of interest have extraordinary difficulty writing objectively about subjects they are connected to. People with conflicts of interest are strongly discouraged from editing subjects they are closely affiliated with. Additionally, if you are being paid to edit, you must disclose who is paying you to edit (your "employer"), who the client is, and any other relevant role or relationship. It does not matter whether you are paid directly by the client, or paid indirectly by an employer on behalf of the client. Note also that Wikipedia is not a forum for promotion, and any attempt to perform marketing at Wikipedia will not be tolerated. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 02:26, 5 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I represent Hoichoi's Marketing team. The sole reason for the edits was to remove the incorrect information about the company, this was in no way a marketing or a promotional activity. Incorrect information harms the company's reputation online and since Hoichoi isn't a celebrity or a known figure, it is hard to get people to regularly update the page to reflect actual information. Example - the company logo was incorrect, I changed it to the official, trademarked logo. Also incorrect were the stakeholders' name and information related to the company - all of which were added by people not related to Hoichoi. Realizing that, I had created a draft internally, with reputable sources to cite the information provided. But before that can be implemented, the ID was blocked. Since beginning, my intention was never to use this as a promotional method. Wikipedia is a reputable source for information, especially when people search for the brand on Google, and I just wanted to make sure information about the company is correct, with actual sources to the same.
