October 2018

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. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:23, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Please also take note of WP:PAID, you are required by the terms of use to publicly state if you are receiving compensation in any way for your edits. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:24, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Requested username:

AMAJournalofEthicsOfficial (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I do work for the AMA Journal of Ethics. I am not interested in editing our page directly, but we are trying to correct some factual inaccuracies, and I am wondering what the best way to do that is. I have contacted the creator of the page to serve as a neutral intermediary, but if there is a better way to pursue factual changes, I would be interested in hearing about them. If the name needs to be clearer or something, we can change it to AMAJournalofEthicsofficial or whatever would be best for transparency. Journalofethics (talk) 21:31, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

The proposed username is still inappropriate. Wikipedia accounts are for individuals, not for companies or roles within companies, and the username must reflect that. You'll need to:

1. Confirm that there is only one person who has access to this account.
2. Propose a new username that represents this one person. If you want your username to be associated with the journal, a username such as "John at Journal of Ethics" would be acceptable.
3. Review the disclosure requirements for paid editors and confirm that you will comply with them (you'll be able to add the relevant tag to your user page once you're unblocked). Huon (talk) 21:58, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Once you have dealt with the username issue and the disclosure, you can edit the article's talk page at Talk:AMA Journal of Ethics and propose specific changes to the text. You can add the code {{request edit}} to your propopsal to raise visibility. Uninvolved editors will review the proposal and will implement it if appropriate. Huon (talk) 21:58, 9 October 2018 (UTC)

Requested username:

Request reason:

Updating name per suggestion. I'd like to confirm that I am the only person with access to this account. I will add COI disclosure to talk page once name is approved (unless I can somehow do that before the name change). Journalofethics (talk) 14:55, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I have changed your name and will unblock you, though I strongly urge you to do as you have been asked on this page ASAP. 331dot (talk) 15:14, 10 October 2018 (UTC)

Working on it now, thank you. TimatAMAJournalofEthics (talk) 15:24, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
