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 from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 08:32, 13 July 2023 (UTC)

You stated at Draft talk:Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences: "I'm a student at the Hebrew university of Jerusalem, employed by the Edmond and Lily Safra Center for Brain Sciences, as a social media coordinator. I was not directly paid for editing this article." Since you are employed by the organization you are writing about, then you are considered a paid editor, as per the mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. You don't have to be paid specifically to edit Wikipedia for this policy to apply; your employment by itself is sufficient. Therefore, the template on your userpage is inadequate. You must replace it with the template which covers the higher standard of disclosure required by this policy. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 13:48, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
