Conflict of interest and username concerns
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Bears FC, and I noticed that your username, "Bearsfootballclub", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87". Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. }} —C.Fred (talk) 14:14, 29 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I see that you uploaded File:Bears FC.gif to Wikimedia Commons and are holding it out as your own work. That is even more evidence that this account violates our username policy because it uses the name of the organization. Please select a username that represents you as an individual. —C.Fred (talk) 20:56, 17 August 2014 (UTC)


 * I dont understand you what kind conflict of interest?
 * Everything have neutral view help me what I can to do to fix this problem — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bears1996 (talk • contribs) 07:48, 18 August 2014 (UTC)  (copied from User talk:C.Fred)
 * You designed the logo for Bears FC (or you're holding yourself out as having done so). That means you have a connection to the club. Editors who have a connection to the subject of an article are said to have a conflict of interest: even if they intend to write neutrally, there is still the temptation or risk to present the subject in a favorable light. There's also a tendency to use primary sources rather than secondary, independent sources.
 * It doesn't mean your edits are all automatically bad or non-neutral. It just means that editors who are independent of the subject should look over the article to make sure everything looks good. —C.Fred (talk) 14:20, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

This account has been blocked due to the username
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that 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. 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 below this notice. 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 below this notice. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 17:45, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Since you have already started editing under the account, the unblock request instructions do not apply. You may continue to edit from that account. —C.Fred (talk) 17:46, 27 August 2014 (UTC)

Latin American 10,000 Challenge invite
Hi. The WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland The 10,000 Challenge and WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 00:26, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
