User talk:GW4 Alliance

November 2019
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

COI editing and promotional editing
Hi - I've blocked your account because you were inserting clearly promotional content into an article where you have an obvious conflict of interest, and because your username is not compliant with policy. I'm order to be unblocked, you will need to request a new username, and demonstrate that you have read and understood WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:NOTPROMO. Thank you Girth Summit  (blether)  13:38, 29 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi - I will leave it for another administrator to review your unblock request, but I'll give you some advice. You appear not to have read through the links in the block notice above - if you had read our username policy, you would know that it expressly prohibits usernames that unambiguously represent an organisation (see ORGNAME), and accounts that are shared between different people (see ISU). If you had read our COI guidelines, and WP:PAID, you would know that you and your colleagues should not be editing the page about your organisation directly - you should be making edit requests on the article talk page. As for the promotional nature of the content you wanted to add to the page, it was full of phrases such as 'world-class scholarship', 'world class facilities', 'research excellence at scale' 'unique world class research facility'... I could go on and on. If you can't see that language like that is inappropriate for an encyclopedia, I don't think you should be editing here. This article is not an extension of your web presence, or a place for you to tell the world how brilliant you are. Our aim is to describe our subjects entirely neutrally, without appearing either to praise or criticise them. We aim to avoid telling our readers what organisations say about themselves; we summarise what independent, reliable sources say about them. I'd suggest you read the policies I've linked to above closely, and consider making another unblock request, requesting a new username that identifies you as an individual person, and also demonstrating that you understand how you need to edit in areas where you have a COI.
