Welcome!
editHello, Uavtek, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Unmanned systems of the British Army, 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:
- The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- 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
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, 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!

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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. In your reasons, you must:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
- 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.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|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. Alexf(talk) 12:01, 15 July 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
as stated i am happy to change the account name. I am sorry if i offend you but the post was factual and has only just happened. Citation will be added as they get posted. I am sorry you have taken a disliking to myself or the company but i only joined recently and have only started posting. i am sorry if this was not 100% within the rules i was unaware. i am now aware and i would contribute to a lot more but as i have only just joined and new to this it will take time before it becomes more regular. I do feel that declining indefinatly is sensorship. If i post about our comapny it would be because that is what i know. I wouldnt edit about dress making as i dont know anything about dress making. What i can do is change the posts to match the news articles instead if that helps. But if i cannot post anymore i am not able to add factual and press release information. All because it seems you have taken a disliking to us. I would also like it noted the original block was because it was believed it was a shared account. It is not and 331dot has accepted the new username. So to be clear the blocking was not for the posts. they were simply removed. the block was for sharing an account as explained above.. this is not the case and it can be changed to my name. This is now complying with the rules i was blocked for breaking. and any further posts will comply. and just to be clear on the information posted [1]
Decline reason:
We aren't interested in having you write about your company. That was explained in your block and in the block message. Your inability to understand what censorship is, or even how to spell it, shows Wikipedia isn't the place for you. As you aren't listening to what we've told you repeatedly, I'm declining your unblock request. I suggest you take a look at WP:ALTERNATE to find places more appropriate for your contribution.

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.

Blanking
editYou are not permitted to remove declined unblock requests for your currently active block. You may remove any other content, but not the declined unblock requests. --Yamla (talk) 11:24, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- You were warned. As you continued to abusively remove the declined unblock requests, I have now revoked talk page access. Another administrator will be along shortly to review your unblock request. --Yamla (talk) 12:49, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
rename not successful
editThe chosen username is too similar to an existing username or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed: HowardHumphries, Please make another selection. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:15, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. User:Deepfriedokra/promo unblock
editIt is not a place for you to promote this company. To be unblocked--
- You must confirm that this account is used by one individual only.
- You must agree to avoid creating or directly editing pages related to your organisation (requested edits will still be permitted).
- You must agree to not link to your organization's website.
- You must agree to abide by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use and disclose any paid relationship in accordance with the paid contributor policy.
- You must indicate what areas of Wikipedia you intend to edit in the future.
If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organization, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets.
(Any other admin should feel free to amend these conditions or unblock at their discretion.) --Deepfriedokra (talk) 13:18, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
- As you have lost talk page access, you will need to use WP:UTRS. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:45, 16 July 2020 (UTC)
