Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, GB WB Mktg. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Webjet, 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. Largoplazo (talk) 12:53, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed maintenance templates from Webjet. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Please see Help:Maintenance template removal for further information on when maintenance templates should or should not be removed. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. Thank you.

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.

Simply correcting information that was not accurate
I’m a first time user to this site, created an account in order to correct information on the structure of a company. Have been jumped on pretty quickly!

May I suggest if you are going to police and remove corrections that you at least take the time to review accuracy and intention before doing so. Webjet Limited is a publicly listed company, and therefore it is important that any information shown be correct. That is all I did, no promotional language, no self interest, simply factual corrections. And you remove them in a blink! That’s a bit harsh.

I’ve now been “blocked”, for doing the right thing and getting facts correct - which I would think should be a driver of presenting information in an open forum. In the interest of transparency, yes I have a relationship to the business. But if you read the updates made you’d see their is nothing conflicting in what I corrected and added. Simply organizing the content around the structure of the company and businesses under the parent company in an attempt to delivery clarity and accuracy.

For the record, their is a difference between Webjet Limited (parent) and Webjet (the online travel agency). May I suggest updating page title to “Webjet Limited” to reflect the organisation correctly and reduce confusion to the reader. Simply “Webjet” reflects only one company of the larger organisation, this page is about the larger organisation, right? The logo on the page should also be the logo of the parent company, not the logo of one of the businesses under the parent.

Sorry for any wrongs I may have done inline with your policies, any changes made with good intent, but a disappointing first experience on Wikipedia folks. Thank you for at least leaving most of the corrections I made second time around.

) At your request.

 * I can't address why another editor reverted your edits outright. As for the block, if you read the block notice, you'll see that your account was blocked "Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website". It wasn't a punitive block: after all, it invites you to create another account under a different name. The COI guidelines will continue to apply, and disclosure will still be mandatory if you receive payment in connection with whatever arrangement your edits are associated with.

Unblock please
Assistance please. I’m a first time user, creating an account to correct factually inaccurate information on a page, and attempt to address issues noted at the page top.

I do have a relationship with the organisation, but I am not contributing with promotional intent. I attempted to choose a user name so as to identify that relationship and be transparent. Perhaps I left “at” out of that, very sorry. I am “GB at WB Mktg”.
