Welcome!
Hello, MortgageProsCan, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals, 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.&#32;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, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

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 Questions, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! —C.Fred (talk) 17:34, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

MortgageProsCan (talk) 17:55, 15 December 2016 (UTC) Hi C.Fred - Thanks for your comments. I have first requested a name change from MortgageProsCan to AdnanAtMPC, Adnan being my name.

Secondly, the changes I am making are purely name changes - Our company rebranded in 2015 from Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage Professionals to Mortgage Professionals Canada. As a marketing man in the company, I just want to ensure that Wikipedia is up-to-date with correct information. Logo information and everything is incorrect on Wikipedia, and it is misleading as we are not-for-profit operating nationally in Canada, and it is important that our information be correct.

I want to inquire if this is alright?

 * Under the circumstances, I'm okay with the updating of logos, names, etc. Make sure that you upload the logo to Wikipedia under the proper license terms: it will almost certainly be a non-free logo. Also, you'll note that I've moved the page. I'll keep watching the page, so once your name change goes through, I'll be glad to help improve the page. —C.Fred (talk) 01:18, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Also, did you request the name change? It doesn't look like you did. —C.Fred (talk) 01:20, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I did submit a change, but I don't see it being changed. I'll send another request, but I have been currently blocked. MortgageProsCan (talk) 01:25, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I am going to unblock your account. Make sure you go immediately to WP:CHU and request the change there. @Beeblebrox: Since the block was for a username, I trust it's okay that I service the request. Contact me on my talk page if you think I stepped on your toes. —C.Fred (talk) 01:27, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * I submitted a change. Hope to get it approved. MortgageProsCan (talk) 01:33, 16 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Hopefully they won't cringe about the text Ad appearing in the new name. You may need to tweak that if it's rejected. (Let's just say that there are some paid editors who do a really poor job of following the rules in the name of advertising their clients, and those few bad apples make it rough on everybody else.)
 * Also, how does the new logo look in the article? —C.Fred (talk) 01:43, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Hopefully it doesn't get rejected. Ad is the short form of my name that some folks use, but if it needs changing I will do so. I actually want to contribute to other pages as wiki is a great source. The logo is great btw, and thank you for uploading that! The only section that needs updating will be the Annual Conference section as its called the "National Conference" and more information can be found at https://mortgageproscan.ca/en/page/national-conference and mortgageconference.ca - the information in there is outdated. Wish I had some factual information on event details that I could share (attendance numbers, years the conference has been held, etc). MortgageProsCan (talk) 01:51, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * My old name request was approved and changed to AdnanAtMPC - I however have submitted another change to change it to AddyWest751. hopefully it gets approved, as the current one is still too related. AdnanAtMPC (talk) 02:37, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Name change done to AddyWest751. Anything else I need to do? AddyWest751 (talk) 11:12, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Mortgage Professionals Canada has been reverted. Your edit here to Mortgage Professionals Canada was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.twitter.com/MortgageProsCan) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:10, 15 December 2016 (UTC)

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 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:29, 15 December 2016 (UTC)
