User talk:BDO Communications & Corporate Affairs

Welcome!

Hello, BDO Communications & Corporate Affairs, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was BDO Global, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Best practices for editors with close associations
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Contributing to Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Simplified Manual of Style
• The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, visit the Teahouse, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 14:30, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
• Provide a new username.

To do this, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. UtherSRG (talk) 15:02, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

This is my name. I need to rename/reactivate my account so I can get the text that I posted today (that I spent ages preparing) returned to me so I can use it elsewhere. It was published but taken down by an admin.

Decline reason:

Nothing you entered was taken down permanently. Here is the version you posted that was reverted. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 16:03, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

The edits I made earlier were only intended to correct some incorrect information. The intention was not to advertise or self-promote. BDO Communications & Corporate Affairs (talk) 16:01, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

The edits you made were highly promotional. Please read the info in that link. - UtherSRG (talk) 16:10, 26 January 2024 (UTC)

I have edited the text. Now it is purely factual. Can I share it with you to approve it? BDO Communications & Corporate Affairs (talk) 09:52, 29 January 2024 (UTC)

You will not be able to propose your new text until after you have been unblocked, so focus on that first. Primefac (talk) 08:36, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

I have posted a request below. Thanks BDO Communications & Corporate Affairs (talk) 08:53, 30 January 2024 (UTC)

Request reason:

I understand that I may not make statements that could be considered advertising. It is now purely factual. I have edited the text that I would like to post, and would be happy if someone could review it to make sure it is acceptable.

Decline reason:

This addresses none of the concerns that led to your block; it doesn't propose a new username, address your violation of WP:PAID and WP:COI, nor tell us what edits you will make instead of your prior edits. Please review the block notice, and the policies linked to therein, carefully. 331dot (talk) 09:00, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
