Editing with a conflict of interest
Hello, Droppslaundry. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Largoplazo (talk) 20:52, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

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. 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. Thank you. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:16, 8 December 2016 (UTC)


 * Two comments:
 * 1) I have no idea where you get the idea that the Philadelphia Inquirer releases its content into the public domain. Not only would that be a truly remarkable thing for any newspaper to do, but it is also clearly contradicted by the copyright information given on the newspaper's web site, which refers to, amongst other things, license fees, and expressly states that one may not modify or copy the materials, use the materials for resale, transfer the materials to another person or mirror the materials on any other server, etc etc. It is clear that the newspaper, like every newspaper I know of anywhere in the world, does not even license its content under a free license compatible with Wikipedia's licensing terms, let alone release it into the public domain.
 * 2) Although the blocking administrator has chosen to allow you to continue to edit if you change your user name, if you continue to post promotional content, as you did before being blocked, you are likely to be blocked again.
