Hello, Jgrunberg2020. 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
• 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

One of your recent additions has been removed in whole or in part, 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 very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information.

Would it be possible if you can not edit the Davis College Wiki page after we do? This is something that we have the right to post and this is the information we want to provide.

Who is "we?" ElKevbo (talk) 23:07, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

"We" would be the Vice President of Marketing, along with myself the director of marketing at Davis College. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jgrunberg2020 (talk • contribs) 20:32, August 15, 2020 (UTC)

The advice above about paid editing and conflicts-of-interest definitely applies in your situations. I strongly urge you read through it and comply with it. You're welcome to make requests for others to edit the article in its Talk page but you should not be making any but the most uncontroversial edits to it yourself. ElKevbo (talk) 10:54, 16 August 2020 (UTC)

You have no such "right"; you may only make edits which comply with Wikipedia policies, and which meet with consenus on among Wikipedia editors. Also, please see WP:OWN. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:42, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

In addition, you cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone - not just Wikipedia—to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable.

As previously mentioned, you have no right of ownership or control over the article's content. Anyone editing in good faith is permitted to change the content at any time, and you have no right to insist that it remains at a version that you prefer. Wikipedia's fundamental editorial model is consensus, so disputes over content should be discussed on the article talk page to attempt to achieve this. If this fails, then further dispute resolution measures are available. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 12:30, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Notice of Conflict of interest noticeboard discussion

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest/Noticeboard regarding a possible conflict of interest incident with which you may be involved. Thank you. ElKevbo (talk) 16:25, 24 August 2020 (UTC)

Undisclosed paid editing

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Davis College (Ohio), give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Jgrunberg2020, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Jgrunberg2020|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 09:12, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

I have researched the Wikipedia article creation wizard that I am properly able to write the article following Wikipedias guidelines. Jgrunberg2020 (talk) 19:35, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

• the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
• the block is no longer necessary because you
  1. understand what you have been blocked for,
  2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
  3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 06:04, 26 August 2020 (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.

Request reason:

I have read the following response and I apologize I have not made my intentions clear. I am aware that I was blocked because I made it seem as if I had a financial stake in promoting the product. I then was asked to cease editing and did not. I am not here to cause any damage or disruption to the Wikipedia pages. I understand that my actions of post caused a conflict of interest, however I am trying to follow the guidelines so I may safely post about Davis College (Ohio). My intentions are to provide the users of Wikipedia and any others who see the Davis College (Ohio) Wikipedia page, that they are properly informed and the information is up to date. Again, I sincerely apologize and would like to be unblocked from posting so I can make useful contributions. Jgrunberg2020 (talk) 14:17, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Wikipedia cannot be edited for marketing purposes. Given that it's your job, you won't be unblocked to write about your employer. How else will you contribute to the encyclopedia if unblocked? MER-C 16:46, 26 August 2020 (UTC)
