Editing Wikipedia

Hello, welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately there are some problems with editing on this account that I need to run through with you.

First, thank you for registering an account - this is a good decision in order to have your activity authenticated and traceable. However, Wikipedia doesn't allow accounts that sound like they belong to a company or a department, only ones that belong to specific people - so 'NicolaSmith@UBS' would be fine, 'Ubswikipedia' isn't. So it would be good to rename the account, perhaps to something specific to whoever is going to use it; you may find that this account is locked until this is completed. Also, it's vital that if you are editing Wikipedia on behalf of a company, you formally disclose your connection to UBS. In general, in editing Wikipedia on the subject of your company, it's best to avoid making any substantial or promotional edits, apart from correcting obvious mistakes.

Below this I've put an explanation of the rules of editing Wikipedia for topics like your organisation where you may have a conflict of interest. All the best, any questions just let me know and I'll try to help. Blythwood (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Ubswikipedia. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the 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, 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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Ubswikipedia, 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}} on your user talk page. 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 "E-mail 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 below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Vanjagenije (talk) 18:42, 10 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]
