Conflict of interest
Hello, HCUP Presentations. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * 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 must 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 WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.  Velella  Velella Talk 18:27, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice:. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. I have blocked you for several reasons.

You edited with an IP without declaring that you are a paid editor.

You edited with an inappropriate username. Then you registered this, also inappropriate username.

You have not declared that you are a paid editor, at any time, with any account.

You were warned not to add urls that way to the article.

You are making massive, disputed changes to the article.

Let's discuss this, if you like.

 * I will respond in a moment. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:12, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

We have to assume that all of these accounts are one person:


 * User:HCUPData
 * User:HCUP US
 * User:HCUPUsersupport
 * User:HCUP Outreach2016
 * User:HCUP Outreach
 * User:HCUP Outreach 2017
 * User:HCUP Presentations

The editing style of all or most is very similar, and the names indicate that they all represent the same organization. Because the second account created was indefinitely hard blocked, the creation of new usernames clearly constitutes the abuse of multiple accounts.

As for the article, I think it is best edited by the Wikipedia community and not a paid editor who has consistently ignored warnings about introducing copyvios and promotional content.

As for you, I think you should not be unblocked. You are only here to promote your organization and have consistently ignored community wishes to do so.

Please tell your boss that the neutral Wikipedia community will manage the article rather than your organization.

This user is now blocked as a sockpuppet of User:HCUPData.

 * Sorry, Anna. Did not mean to step on your toes. Feel free to modify my unblock conditions.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 21:17, 15 October 2018 (UTC)


 * Not at all, Dlohcierekim. I fully support the decline, and think it will be very hard for this user to convince another admin to unblock, considering all the facts. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 21:29, 15 October 2018 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
This discussion should really take place at your original account (User:HCUPData), but you last edited 9 years ago with that one. So...

Do not edit that article using an IP. You are blocked, not just the accounts. You are not permitted to edit at Wikipedia. You are part of the United States federal government and here, openly and transparently, violating Wikipedia policy. All of this is undeletable and will remain in the history for all to see. A few days passed since the article was gutted. I suspect you all had a meeting to decide what to do, and the result was to put the content back.

Stop, go away, and tell your bosses what I just wrote.
