User talk:Donuts'r'us

Welcome!
Hello, Donuts&#39;r&#39;us, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Donuts (company), which 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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * 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! davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  20:14, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Donuts (company), and I noticed that your username, "Donuts&#39;r&#39;us", 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, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username 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. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  20:15, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Donuts (company)
If there is anything that is inaccurate about Donuts (company), please leave a note at Talk:Donuts (company) with the specific change that needs to be made. Include a reference. Put at the TOP of your comment, right below the "subject/headline." This will put a notice that looks like the one at the top of this page at the top of your comment and, more importantly, it will put the talk page in the category Category:Requested edits, where, where it will be noticed. This will result in a faster response than if you do not use the "requested edit" template.

BEFORE doing this, please read and comply with WP:Paid-contributions disclosure and WP:Conflict of interest. I also recommend reading WP:What Wikipedia is not - especially the sections dealing with "not promotional"/"not advertising"/"not spam" and the like.

Also, BEFORE you make ANY edit, please change your username. Because of your username, your account will probably be blocked from editing very soon until you change it.

If you have NOT been blocked yet, follow the instructions in WP:Changing username to request a new username.

If you HAVE been blocked due to your username, there will be instructions you must follow to be unblocked. Those instructions will include instructions on choosing a new username. They MAY include additional instructions. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  20:24, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Page names and DISPLAYTITLE
Pages about companies typically do not have "Inc.", "LLC", "Corp.", etc. in the page title. "Donuts (company)" is a perfectly appropriate page title for this company. If the name is unique within Wikipedia the "(company)" is typically left off as well (e.g. General Electric, but if there was a famous solder of the rank of General, last name Electric, then it might be General Electric (company) to disambiguate the two topics).

Also, cannot be used to change the page's title except that it can be used to make the first letter show up as lowercase, e.g.  for iMac, which would otherwise show up as IMac. In articles, DISPLAYTITLE is almost exclusively used for making part of the title appear in italics, making certain mathematical or scientific terms appear with the proper super- or subscripts, and for making the first letter lowercase. It can also be used for other things but typically not in articles. For example, it can be used to make your user page, Special:MyPage, show up with customized colors. See WP:DISPLAYTITLE for details.
