Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Ams AG. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ams AG, 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 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 WP: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. ƒirefly ( t · c ) 12:17, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

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 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 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text 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. stwalkerster (talk) 12:22, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Someone else will review your request, but accounts are for individuals only. You will need to designate a single person to exclusively operate this account and who will give no one else access. If you are employed by Ams AG, you are a paid editor, you do not have to be specifically paid to make edits. 331dot (talk) 11:55, 20 October 2022 (UTC)


 * Dear @331dot, Thank you for your response. I understand and know, that accounts are for individuals only (as described in "Can my organization have an account?" on [Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations?) Only I have access and I will not share the credentials! Concerning the "paid editor" question, I refer to this section "If you are paid in any way for contributing to Wikipedia, disclose it.". on  Paid-contribution disclosure and would answer it like this
 * "I will make general attributions to wikipedia in my spare time" and I will not edit the page of ams AG directly, but I may propose changes on talk pages (by using the template), or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard, so that they can be peer reviewed!
 * I think everyone deserves a second chance. Especially on Wikipedia.
 * All the best and thank you for your guidance! ~ Ams AG (talk) 19:05, 20 October 2022 (UTC)
 * You will not be unblocked until you agree to make the paid editing disclosure. As I said, any paid relationship triggers the disclosure requirement, including just employment. You do not have to be specifically paid for edits, or asked to edit.  The policy states it includes "cases where the employer has hired the user as an employee".  331dot (talk) 08:53, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear @331dot, Regarding the "paid editing disclosure" - I have read the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Paid-contribution_disclosure Page. The section "How to disclose" clearly tells, that "Editors who are or expect to be compensated for their contributions must disclose their employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any paid contributions. They must do this on their main user page, or on the talk page accompanying any paid contributions, or in edit summaries." I plan not (!) to edit the page of my employer directly anymore, because of potential conflicts of interests, but I plan proposing changes to an article about false facts eventually on the talk page of my employer and will of course disclose my relationship to the company there and on my user page too.

 * Also, who's we? Sharing accounts is not allowed. MER-C 18:30, 21 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear @MER-C & @NinjaRobotPirate, I want to make clear, that I am using this account as a individual and I am not sharing it. If I was using the word "we" in my argumentation, then this because of two reasons. English is not my first language and I was not aware of, that one "false" word (we instead of I) will cause a decline. In want to make sure that I am an indivdual who wants to participate in Wikipedia. Please take my apology and please do not close the door for me. I kindly ask you to allow me a new username. Thank you in advance! Ams AG (talk) 12:28, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * You may make a new unblock request for someone else to review. 331dot (talk) 15:23, 16 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Dear @MER-C &@NinjaRobotPirate, would you please review again and comment my unblock request as well as the renaming request? I would very much appreciate that, and if you accept my apologies and give me a second chance to contribute by proposing changes on Wikipedia as explained above. Many thanks.Ams AG (talk) 12:15, 7 December 2022 (UTC)
