Eric D. Schlager moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Eric D. Schlager, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Welcome!
Hello, Bulfinch1, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

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, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Further to the above...
Hi - your username implies that you have a connection with this individual. Please review COI and PAID as a matter or urgency - there are certain steps that you have to take to comply with our policies, guidelines, and terms of use, when writing about a subject you are connected with. Aside from your conflict of interest, your article is written in a promotional manner, and is not supported by the kind of references that would be required for a biography - it is not ready for publication, and if you have any connection to the subject you should be putting this through AfC rather than publishing it directly. Please do not make any further edits about this subject before reading the links I have given you, and making the necessary steps to comply with their requirements. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Eric D. Schlager


A tag has been placed on Eric D. Schlager, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the.  Dewritech (talk)  15:06, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Your username and editing interests
Hi again, I see that you republished the article I draftified - presumably that was before you had read through the advice I'd given you about your apparent COI. I've since taken a look at your contributions history, and noted that all of your contributions to date have been about subjects related to Bulfinch. Nobody appears to have told you that there is a potential problem with this, up until now, so please take on board what I'm saying to you now, read through those links carefully, and take the necessary steps.

I'd also note that your username itself is probably a violation of policy - per CORPNAME, usernames unambiguously representing companies or organisations are not permitted. Please consider requesting a change of username, which you can do via UNC. Please also take the necessary steps to outline your relationship with the Bulfinch organisation. If you make any further edits to any article or draft about anything related to this company without responding to these concerns, your account may be blocked from editing. I hope this is clear, feel free to ask me any questions if you need to. Thanks Girth Summit  (blether)  17:19, 30 December 2019 (UTC)

Hi again - I'm concerned that you haven't responded to the messages above. I'm going to block this account due to the username issue, and the promotional editing and COI issues - if you wish to resume editing, you can make an unblock request, selecting a new username and confirming that you have read, understood, and will abide by, the policies and guidelines I have given you links to. Regards Girth Summit  (blether)  16:11, 31 December 2019 (UTC)

December 2019
There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.
