Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Bumedicine. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories, 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, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI 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 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. — Trey Maturin™ 17:48, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

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

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, 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.
 * 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.
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

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. The Blade of the Northern Lights ( 話して下さい ) 23:19, 3 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Good morning, to clarify: there is one person running this account. When I said "we", I was referring to my office that provided me with articles and information to update this page with. This account was created to update outdated information on the NEIDL page that no longer accurately reflects the institution. Our department is not in charge of the communications correspondence for this institution so our office taking notice of this was not meant to come across as promotional but rather a genuine desire to rectify the information.
 * Our apologies if it came across as promotional; we are not in the habit of updating Wikipedia pages so we do not fully understand the language/tone that should be used when approaching updates to a Wikipedia page. Knowing this now, I will approach the information again and strip it down so that it has only the bare facts rather than anything that could come across as promotional. Is there a process by which I can run these edits by administrators to assure that they meet guidelines? Additionally, should I choose articles outside of the BU institution at large to back up information and prove that portions of information are factual? Please let me know.
