January 2019

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Chillmedianorth", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents the name of a business that implies shared use. Usernames must represent a person and not a company. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 21:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

I am not sharing this account and there is no one else using this name or moniker. If you feel it looks too much like a business, I can change it to something else. I am an individual and not a company or group.

But is it not true that individuals can receive some form of compensation for editing Wikipedia? Have you some connection with Born I Music outside Wikipedia?-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:15, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Chillmedianorth. 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 conflict of interest 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 conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work 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. Thank you. shoy (reactions) 21:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

I have zero financial stake in the article I posted. There is no conflict of interest. While the article is not about me personally, it is not about someone I am related to, friends with or work with. I'm merely a fan who thought the artist should have a page on Wikipedia. I did interview the subject and got authorized photos to use in the article. I was not paid nor will I be for posting this article. --> shoy (reactions) 21:13, 29 January 2019 (UTC)

Cool. But how did you choose a user name that is also the name of a company?-- Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:31, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

January 2019

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. 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.

 Thank you. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:02, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello Chillmedianorth. 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 egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, 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:Chillmedianorth. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Chillmedianorth|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. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 14:02, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
