Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Garlandinitiative. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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. Majavah (t/c) 08:50, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Hello Garlandinitiative. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Draft:Susan Modupe Garland, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Garlandinitiative. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Majavah (t/c) 09:11, 13 April 2020 (UTC)

Username policy: change required
Please visit Special:GlobalRenameRequest to rename your account.

Please choose a username which belongs to you. Use something without "Garland" in it, this is against the username policies. This will be your new account name.

In the reason for request, write "requested (account belongs to individual, not a group)".

Then click "request name change".

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. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. 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. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. —  Newslinger  talk   11:11, 13 April 2020 (UTC)


 * We spoke earlier today in the IRC live help channel. I had to leave but said that I would leave a message for you here. There are several problems - the username has been resolved, but as Garland's manager you are expected (and required by the Terms of Use) to disclose that you are a paid editor. See WP:PAID. That said, Draft:Susan Modupe Garland does not cite any reliable sources that cover Garland in any appreciable detail. The draft's content is arguably promotional and, worse, doesn't even appear to be factually correct. I strongly suggest you give up this project and avoid editing on topics where you have a conflict of interest. Huon (talk) 19:53, 13 April 2020 (UTC)
 * I concur with Huon. You've been warned multiple times. I will block you indefinitely if you do not follow this guidance. --Yamla (talk) 13:15, 14 April 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

Block Appeal

 * You aren't going to be unblocked to write about Susan Garland. If you wish to write about something else entirely, tell us what you'll write about instead. --Yamla (talk) 20:18, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
 * You'll also need to address your violation of WP:SOCK, with multiple accounts (see Sockpuppet_investigations/Blurviewstudios/Archive). In general, we wouldn't normally unblock people so blatantly unwilling to follow our policies for at least six months, so you have a high bar to reach to account for your abusive actions. --Yamla (talk) 20:20, 31 May 2020 (UTC)

WP:SOCK As Manager (I stated when renaming username at Special:GlobalRenameRequest from GarlandInitiative to Constobie) of Susan Garland, one of my responsibilities is to make my client visible. I put wrote content and employed the services of freelancers to upload on Wikipedia one after the other PallaviSingh197021, Blurviewstudios, Obieokoye, Mai Hayat, Modupe3245 and others failed in uploading the content of my client. These has triggered suspicious socketpuppetry. Again going through Wikipedia Policies, I observed they failed in two areas; declaring as 'Affiliation' at Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure and inability to cite reliable sources. I apologise once again and I plead to be permitted to write about my client (Susan Garland) in a non-promotional format or seek the services of a Freelancer and advise they declare 'Affiliation' to avoid Conflict of Interest. I will also contact Wikipedia:IRC help disclaimer to advice and assist. I am deeply sorry for violating these rules and causing others to too. I appreciate you for your time to look into this. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Thank You. Constobie (talk) 12:23, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

I have gone through history of replies. I should have stated this earlier. This is an oversight. Apologies.I will respond to the WP:SOCK in another talk. Thanks for your understanding.Constobie (talk) 21:27, 31 May 2020 (UTC)
