User talk:Ethan at Capital Girls League

June 2022
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article, or a draft for a Wikipedia article, about yourself, at Draft:Capital Girls League. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. — Jeff G. ツ 10:02, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website – I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy. It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. 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. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". 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. Cabayi (talk) 10:17, 1 June 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Cabayi,
 * I tried putting in a username change request that should comply with your username policy. However, I still have a few questions about some of the other issues you mentioned. Firstly, is the inherent conflict of interest. I am an intern for Capital Girls League and was tasked with creating a Wikipedia page for our company. While this is a conflict of interest, if I disclose that I am being paid to edit this page by Capital Girls League is it still an issue? I'm also a little confused about the issue of notability. While I didn't have any external sources on the draft before it was taken down, I do have several external, third party sources on the Capital Girls League that I'd be more than happy to add. They should meet all of the requirements to be considered a third party source, but is there any process I have to go through to make sure that they will be sufficient enough? Lastly, is the issue with uploading images. I tried to upload three images to my page and all three got taken down and they cited the copyright terms and conditions on our website as to why we couldn't upload them. They said the issue was the formatting of the images, but I'm honestly not sure how to fix that. I had the chair of the league send me the images and then uploaded them directly to Wikipedia. They're in the exact same format that they were in when we uploaded them to our site.
 * Thanks for your time and any help would be greatly appreciated. Ethan at Capital Girls League (talk) 12:53, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
