Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, IOCB Prague. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry, 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, clients, 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 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. I want to emphasize that your edit to the Institute of Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry was completely fine, and constructive, it's just'' your username that might suggest a COI. Thanks!''

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. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply 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 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", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company". 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. Cullen328 (talk) 16:24, 8 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Hello, thank you for the info and explanation. This is an account of IOCB Prague comms established through Wikimedia Commons (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:IOCB_Prague) to provide content under CC license. It was used here, at Wikipedia, to fix a grammar mistake with no self-promotion in mind, but I agree it shouldn't have happened at all and the mistake should have been left for independent editors. Would it be possible to just delete the one particular edit breaking the rules? Requesting to change the user name or creating a new account for uploading the content is a possible way, but I think it would be more about avoiding the problem rather than solving it.
 * Can you please advice? Thank you. IOCB Prague (talk) 11:49, 9 August 2022 (UTC)
