User talk:Alohahospitality

Hello, Alohahospitality. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Bob Baumhower, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

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).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Melcous (talk) 01:41, 21 January 2017 (UTC)

Help me!
Bob Baumhower's Wikipedia profile needs updating and clarification, as the bio contains multiple factual errors and omissions. I am a public relations and communications consultant who's done extensive research on Bob's career - all carefully documented and sourced - and would like to add these corrections to the Wikipedia article. I am a contract employee of Aloha Hospitality.

Can I submit an entirely updated article as we've written, along with his correct football statistics and awards with sources and references? Or do I need to make line by line "suggested" changes and updates?

Thank you for your assistance.

Please help me with...

 * First of all, you should request a change of username because your current one is the name of a company and thus violates the username policy. If you want the username to be associated with your company, a username such as "Amy at Aloha Hospitality" would be acceptable.
 * You may also want to take another look at WP:PAID regarding the proper means of disclosing your conflict of interest (thanks for doing so here!). Generally a note on your user page (currently at User:Alohahospitality; that will be changed when the account is renamed) is the easiest way to comply with the requirements.
 * Regarding your original question, I would strongly advise you to propose changes piecemeal on the article's talk page and to add the code (including the curly brackets) to raise awareness of your request. Wholesale replacement of content, particularly by inexperienced editors with a conflict of interest, tends to be problematic. Of course you don't need to go through it line by line, but I would advise you to make use of what's already there to the greatest possible extent. Huon (talk) 22:52, 31 January 2017 (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. ~ Rob 13 Talk 02:49, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
