User talk:Ethanlindseyorg

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. 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. Red Phoenix talk  05:25, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

Before I’m willing to consider an unblock, I need to know the answers to a couple of things:


 * 1) What service are you providing? I deleted your user page for advertising your website.
 * 2) Are you being paid for your contributions? Have you read WP:PAID and understand you will be required to disclose who is paying you to edit?
 * 3) Have you read WP:COI and understand that for articles where you have a conflict of interest, including those for which you are paid, you should not edit those pages outright and must suggest edits on the article talk page instead?

Sorry this account is old, had plans for it. Anways, right now I have just been updating information regarding local parts on where I live. I am not being paid for contirbutions, and I declare no conflict of interest. Simply here to help create a more accurate site especially for information regarding less populous areas.
 * All right, sounds good. So here is what I recommend: Your username reflecting a website is the only reason this account is blocked.  I deliberately left the account creation function unblocked, so what I recommend is that you simply create a new account with the name you desire - understanding that your name must comply with the username policy, and that while you are more than welcome to use your real name (if it is your real name, you don’t need to tell me) that that could open you up to doxing by mean people on the internet.  Also, you can mention you have a website and link it on your user page but you can’t ask people to visit it or email you through it - that would be considered advertising.  You will have a user talk page or, if you choose, there is an email function you can enable in your new account’s preferences.  Red Phoenix  talk  01:48, 21 January 2021 (UTC)
