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.

Romig
Well, it's good you went through requesting the article. I'm not sure you'll be allowed to create such an article directly. Perhaps you might be allowed to create a draft article via WP:AfC. The draft would then be reviewed before being moved to article space. The question would be as to whether or not Romig meets WP:NPROF. Please read that carefully. It would be best to not add Romig to other articles. You would need to suggest such edits on the talk pages of each article.Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:06, 25 June 2019 (UTC)

PS. Please tell your boss we intensely dislike Wikipedia being used for promotion, and that is what this feels like-- like they just want to see this name up in lights.Dlohcierekim (talk) 21:08, 25 June 2019 (UTC)


 * @Dlohcierekim thank you for your advice.

Romig certainly meets the qualifications for academia as he is a former Dean of the law school and to name a single career highlight out of many, he was the 36th Judge Advocate General of the Army, AKA commanding officer of JAG. He has also received several awards and decorations throughout his military and academic career. I have been asked to make a Wikipedia page to give a biography of his career. It isn't supposed to be a promotion, but rather just what so many people go to Wikipedia to find - outlines of notable people's careers and currently, the only place to fine most of that information in one place for Romig happens to be on the university web page. I'm trying to change that.

Was going through requesting the article the right place to begin? What is the next step? How do i make sure an article gets made? After an article gets made, will any mention of his name get automatically linked to that page?

Also, i'm still not clear on the Paid-contribution disclosure thing. I'm not getting paid because of my edits or for writing an article. It's part of my job as the communications person.

Additionally, how do i get unblocked?

Thanks again for your advice.

 * You do not have to be paid specifically to edit Wikipedia; if doing so falls within your job duties, or even if you are merely employed by them for another purpose, you are still a paid editor. 331dot (talk) 23:23, 25 June 2019 (UTC)
 * In terms of how to be unblocked, it depends. Are you here because you want to be a general Wikipedia contributor, or are you just here because your boss wants you to be and you have no intentions of editing about other subjects? 331dot (talk) 23:29, 25 June 2019 (UTC)


 * @331dot I still don't see what's wrong in creating a page, based on undeniable facts about a man who has served this country, who is a decorated officer of the military and who has done so many amazing things for the military and this country. He deserves to have his story told. To have his biography written so others can see what he has accomplished. For heaven's sake he was the 36th commanding officer of JAG. I think that earns him the right to a simple Wikipedia page denoting his career. I mean seriously, the btk killer has his own freaking Wikipedia page, why cant I be allowed to make one for a man whose actually made a difference in the world? Yes, getting this done is part of my job and i'll figure out what I need to do to make sure that's known. However, as part of my job, it is also important that I keep the university information up to date and any information about other professors. So yes, I have intentions of editing other subjects that pertain to university matters. This just happens to be first on my list. GraphicDesigner770912 (talk) 14:10, 26 June 2019 (UTC)


 * @331dot how am i supposed to put on my user page that i am a paid contributor and list my employer if i am unable to edit? GraphicDesigner770912 (talk) 14:20, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
 * If you haven't already, please review conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not for merely posting biographies, especially if written by the subject or their representative, we're interested in what independent reliable sources state about article subjects. It does sound to me that he might merit an article based on our notability criteria, but their has to be sources to support it. We also want articles written by independent editors. If you just want to tell the world about him, you should use social media. Are there any subjects unrelated to your university that you want to edit? 331dot (talk) 16:45, 26 June 2019 (UTC)
