Hello, I'm HelixxUnderscore. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Pearlena Igbokwe have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. HelixxUnderscore (talk) 20:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Universaltelevision", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. HelixxUnderscore (talk) 20:10, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles, as you did to Pearlena Igbokwe. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. HelixxUnderscore (talk) 21:55, 3 February 2022 (UTC)

Your edit to Pearlena Igbokwe has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously, and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

If there are any copyvio's extant, I'd be happy to revdel them. Thanks, -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 17:31, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely because it is being used only for vandalism. Furthermore, your username is a blatant violation of our username policy, meaning that it is profane, threatens, attacks or impersonates another person, or suggests that your intention is not to contribute to the encyclopedia (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and we do not tolerate 'bad faith' editing such as trolling or other disruptive behavior. If you think there are good reasons why these don't describe your account, or why you should be unblocked, you are welcome to appeal this block – read our guide to appealing blocks to understand more about unblock requests, and then add the text at the end of your user talk page.

Editing on your own or someone else's behalf
Please see Biographies of living persons/Help for more information.

Wikipedia's policy on how to handle material about living persons, biographies of living persons, applies to every page on the project, including talk pages. If Wikipedia has published material about you, or someone you represent, and you need help, you can:


 * post a correction on the article's talk page and ask that it be implemented;
 * ask for assistance at the biographies of living persons noticeboard;
 * place on your user talk page, which will attract an administrator;
 * contact the Wikimedia Foundation's team of volunteers at [mailto:info-en-q@wikimedia.org info-en-q@wikimedia.org], with a link to the page and details of the problem.`

"All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking."

Please discuss content and sourcing on article talk page and achieve consensus for any changes Please make WP:EDITREQUESTs on the article's talk page.

Specifically, this refers to Pearlena Igbokwe, or any other employee of the company, or any other subject with which you have a conflict of interest, whether or not the company executives want you to. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 17:25, 30 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I see you added content from the company's about page for Pearlena Igbokwe. In addition to being content copyrighted elsewhere, it is incredibly promotional in tone. It is unsuitable for use on a free content encyclopedia. Though the information would probably be useful, it would have to be written in different wordage and a non promotional tone. Thanks,  -- Deep fried okra  ( talk ) 17:41, 30 March 2022 (UTC)
 * PS. Please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 19:09, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

is closed. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 17:28, 30 March 2022 (UTC)

Question for administrator
<Hello, I am writing to you regarding the block of the account Universaltelevision. This account is affiliated with the company, NBCUniversal, and we are attempting to correct information regarding the lives and careers of our executives. Our edits have been preapproved by the executives whose pages we are editing, and we intend no harm or false statements in our edits. We also am deriving this information from a public source, our NBCUniversl website, which would be the same information that we intend to edit our executives’ Wikipedia biographies on. We would like to request for this block to be removed in order for us to be able to correct and add information on our executives’ Wikipedia pages in a timely manner. Thank you, and I hope you have a great rest of your day!>


 * Content for Wikipedia articles is formed from paraphrased summaries of previously published material from reliable and independent sources, and expressed from a neutral point of view. NBC Universal's website would be considered a primary source. While limited uses of primary sources can be acceptable, the bulk of content in a Wikipedia article must come from third-party sources that have no vested interest in the subject.


 * Neither the subjects of Wikipedia articles nor their representatives have any right of ownership or control over their contents. Articles are owned by no one - they are not the property of any single person or group. Because any Wikipedia editor can edit any article at any time, an article's content can change over time, sometimes substantially. Article subjects cannot insist that the content of an article be changed to - or remain at - a version that they approve. Consensus is Wikipedia's fundamental editorial model. There are ways to resolve disagreements over content through informal discussion and compromise on the article's talk page, to more formal dispute resolution mechanisms for protracted disputes.


 * It is an inherent conflict of interest (COI) for an article's subject (or their representatives) to edit it directly. Because you represent the subject, you will have a difficult time writing from the required neutral point of view and using information taken from reputable third-party sources. COI editors are highly discouraged from directly editing the articles of topics with which they are affiliated. Instead, they are encouraged to make edit requests on the article's talk page.


 * Since you have openly disclosed your employment with NBC Universal, then you have complied with Wikipedia's mandatory policy concerning disclosure of paid editing. However, you should review this policy anyway if you have not already done so. You would be required to disclose your financial compensation for any topic you edit related to your employer.


 * Finally, Wikipedia accounts cannot be named after companies or positions within it. An account must represent only the individual who created it, and access to it can never be shared with anyone else. You will not be allowed to continue with your current username.


 * If you want to appeal your block, please use the template as described in the block notice above. That is the only way that administrators will consider your appeal. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:32, 4 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I suggest revising your comment to state the template instead. Happy Editing-- IAm  Chaos  05:00, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Done - thanks. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Closing as Drm310 has given a good reply. I would add that Wikipedia is not interested in what anyone wants to say about themselves, or in what their employer says about them- Wikipedia summarizes what independent reliable sources say, sources completely unconnected with the subject. The NBC website is the proper place to tell about your personnel. If there are specific errors in the articles about them, we do want to know what they are, but this must be done as Drm310 describes. To be unblocked, please follow the instructions provided. 331dot (talk) 08:16, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
