Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Edit Team 2022, does not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. '''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', which is summarized below.Under Wikipedia's username policy, a username should represent an individual person''. It should not : represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights, being a "bot" account - unless approved, or implying that the account has any administrative or "moderator" user rights, or any kind of "power" or "authority" over other users); nor be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of an organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company". Among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy on paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.

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

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Edit Team 2022. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Laurent Lamothe, 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, clients, 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 Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:37, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

 * Hi there, thank you for unblocking my account. In terms of conflict of interest I am not connected in any way to the subject of this page.  I am a researcher and writer based in Cape Town, South Africa.  The reason I wanted to update this page was I needed to research Laurent Lamothe for an article on Haiti that I am writing.  I was so frustrated that this page was so outdated and the links did not work.  So I thought I would update this page.  Can I go ahead in edit the page?  Or should I submit my proposed changes for approval? AJ Richardson (talk) 16:27, 24 January 2023 (UTC)
