Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. '''Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.'''

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page):.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be in use by another account. You can search to 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 still available.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * I've fixed the formatting of your request. This request was made by an IP, please log in to confirm you made it. It's probably unwise to use such personal information as your username(especially since you announced what it is). 331dot (talk) 08:43, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * I confirm I made the request. Gjphconsulting (talk) 11:32, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Again, I think your choice of new username is unwise, but I'll change it if that's what you want.
 * Is Jack Hopson your client? 331dot (talk) 12:25, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Hi
 * No - Jack is my son. Gjphconsulting (talk) 13:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Okay. You will need to make a formal conflict of interest disclosure, do you understand? 331dot (talk) 13:25, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * How do I do that ? I expressed the conflict of interest when writing the page I thought.
 * To be honest - I am losing patience now. I was simply starting the page to chart his progress as he is moving into the professional game.
 * It will likely be easier if I don’t bother. Gjphconsulting (talk) 14:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * If you mean that you checked a box in the article wizard, that is not a public disclosure. No one knows you did that other than you. Instructions on how to disclose may be found at WP:COI.
 * I don't mean to cause you to lose patience, I apologize. I just want to get this cleared up for you now to avoid problems later. I'm happy to unblock you so you can continue editing, I was looking for you to agree to comply with policy.
 * There is a steep learning curve here. We're willing to work with you if you're willing to work with us. I will caution you that Wikipedia is not merely for logging the events of someone's professional career- a Wikipedia article about a person must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about a person, showing how they meet the definition of a notable person. 331dot (talk) 15:56, 1 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Ok - thanks - I certainly understand that - that’s not an issue. Gjphconsulting (talk) 16:16, 1 June 2024 (UTC)

 * @44sandfordmill I am afraid you have not proven your son meets our notability criteria for sportspeople.
 * In any case, your draft has no in-line citations which is a hard requirements, and is probably best suited to a blog, personal website, or team page instead of this online encyclopedia.
 * Let me know if you have any questions.  Qcne  (talk)  09:24, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
 * @44sandfordmill there is still no indication your son meets our notability criteria, above.  Qcne  (talk)  17:58, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No worries - I have just added to it as he has signed a new contract - I need to work out how to do the inline citations at some point. I will get there ! 44sandfordmill (talk) 18:01, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * The in-line citation tutorial can be found at WP:INTREFVE, and is a hard requirement I am afraid. Unfortunately the new source you provided still doesn't satisfy our criteria, check WP:SPORTS which has very specific requirements: none of which your son meets at this time.  Qcne  (talk)  18:09, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks - thats really useful.
 * I will keep adding as and when. 44sandfordmill (talk) 18:10, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Best of luck, check WP:TOOSOON too.  Qcne  (talk)  18:16, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all your help - much appreciated. 44sandfordmill (talk) 18:56, 15 July 2024 (UTC)
