Welcome!
Hello, Jason D Hughes (King Taper), and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. This is a message to let you know that your username, "Jason D Hughes (King Taper)", may not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. Please note that the following types of usernames are prohibited:
 * Promotional usernames: Those that match the name of a company, organization, group, website or product (e.g. "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", "Foobar Museum of Art"). However, you are allowed to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally (e.g. "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "FoobarFan87").
 * Usernames implying shared use: Those that directly imply shared access between people (e.g. "Jack and Jill's Account"), or match names of posts within groups or organizations (e.g. "Secretary of the XY Foundation").
 * Misleading usernames: Those that contain suffixes like "bot" or "script" and imply an account is that of an automated bot when it is not, or titles like "admin" or "sysop" (implying a position of authority), or match names of living people that you are not, such as famous living people. If you are a famous person editing under your real name and your account is blocked from editing, please note that this is not to discourage you from editing, but rather to prevent any potentially damaging impersonation of you.
 * Offensive and disruptive usernames: Those that contain words or phrases that are likely to offend other contributors, directly threaten or attack another person or some entity, contain contentious material about living persons, or otherwise imply you do not intend to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia (e.g. "JohnIsAJerk", "WannabeWikipediaVandal").

For more information, see Wikipedia's username policy.

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, website, person or other entity, nor do we tolerate any other 'bad faith' editing such as trolling, vandalism or other disruptive behavior, regardless of your username. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. If you do not understand which part of the policy your username may be violating, please don't hesitate to ask. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  18:35, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

What you just read is a "canned" message given to editors who have problematic usernames.

Here is some specific additional information:

Your edit history suggests you are editing on behalf of an actual person actually named "Jason D Hughes". By using this username, you create the impression that the edits are made by him, not you. Each editor is responsible for his or her own edits. Consider asking for your name to be changed. Your name should not be something like "Secretary for Jason D Hughes" because that creates confusion if you are replaced. The rule is one editor per account (more than one account per editor is technically allowed, under narrow circumstances). Please read Username policy for details.

Also, please read Conflict of interest, Paid editing disclosure carefully, and at least familiarize yourself with the basics of the rest of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Also skim through What Wikipedia is not. In particular, it is not a place to promote or advertise.

If it's any consolation, there are things that are "close to my heart" - including my current employer - that I generally avoid editing about, precisely because I know I have to be very careful not to let my own biases get in the way of editing. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  18:35, 20 October 2020 (UTC) Typo corrected. davidwr/ (talk)/(contribs)  19:35, 20 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Hello David, how would i go about changing the user name, and can in we use the article that has been deleted?
 * Please advise.
 * Thanx,
 * Jenny — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jason D Hughes (King Taper) (talk • contribs) 18:45, 20 October 2020 (UTC)
 * First off, if your goal here is to write about your employer, it is very likely going to be a frustrating experience for you. I would ask that you read WP:AUTOBIOGRAPHY, WP:Notability, WP:Reliable sources, WP:Independent sources, and re-read those parts of WP:What Wikipedia is not that have to deal with self-promotion.
 * If you still think you want to do this, then re-read WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Paid editing very carefully. Also read WP:Criteria for speedy deletion.
 * If this isn't discouragement enough, then remember, you will only be allowed to create draft articles and request that they be reviewed, suggest edits to existing pages related to your employer by using Template:Requested edit, and in some specific cases, remove material that clearly violates Wikipedia policies, particularly WP:Copyright and WP:Biographies of living persons. Notice I said "remove" violating material not "correct" it.  Of course, you are welcome, on your own time not your employer's, to edit material that has no bearing on your employer or anything else in which you have a conflict of interest.
 * Now, as for changing your username, that question is answered in the "canned" text above.
 * Also, it is polite to add four tilde characters after each message. When you "preview" your edit, you will notice that this is automatically changed into your "signature."  Since you did not, I used Template:Unsigned to add it for you.  I also used a colon on each line of your reply to indent your reply one level of indent, and two colons on each line of this reply to indent two levels of indent.  This makes it easier to follow conversations.   davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  19:35, 20 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Ok, I definitely want to do this. There is no conflict of interest because we are a non profit helping Mr. Hughes. Could you please replace my original draft so i can proceed in removing the necessary information please? I have also have already requested the name change.
 * Thank you, hopefully i added the signature properly for you.

 * If YOU are being paid to edit outside of a Wikipedia-sanctioned program such as WP:Wikipedian in residence, you are considered a paid editor. If having or keeping a job which pays you, even a stipend, requires you to edit, then you are a paid editor.  If your non-profit is being paid to have one of their paid or unpaid staff or volunteers edit, it's a paid edit.
 * Even if none of those things apply to you, you either have a direct conflict of interest or, by virtue of working on behalf of a non-profit which is working on behalf of Mr. Hughes, you have a conflict of interest, just as much as I would if any organization I work for or volunteer with asked me to write about any specific topic in Wikipedia.
 * As for restoring the draft, I am not an administrator so I can't see what it looked like, but perhaps the deleting administrator,, can take a second look and tell you if the version he deleted or any prior versions are in any way "salvageable" or if it's best to blow it up and start over with a new draft, written from a neutral point of view, with good sources (see WP:Reliable sources, WP:Independent sources, and WP:Citing sources). Before you ask him to consider un-deleting it, read Wikipedia's notability guidelines (WP:Notability, WP:BIO, and possibly related pages) and ask yourself "does Mr. Hughes actually have enough people writing about him to qualify for an encyclopedia article"?  Most people do not.
 * Please delay asking for un-deletion or starting a new draft until you change your username. I wouldn't be surprised if you are "soft-blocked" soon.  If that happens, the only page you will be able to edit until you pick a new name will be your talk page, which is this page.
 * If you work or volunteer for a museum, library, or similar entity, please read Conflict of interest and the links it leads to, as they may apply to you. davidwr/  (talk)/(contribs)  21:08, 20 October 2020 (UTC)

COI
As davidwr has advised, you have written this article as part of your paid employment, so you have a conflict of interest that you must declare. You are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Jason D Hughes (King Taper). The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:   . Please provide the required disclosure. Note that editing with a COI is discouraged, but permitted as long as it is declared. Concealing a COI can lead to a block. Please do not edit further until you respond to this message. Also read the following regarding writing an article:
 * When you write about a person, you must provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that they meet the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the person or an associated organisation, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting what the person claims or interviewing them. Note that references should be in-line so we can tell what fact each is supporting, and should not be bare urls. The only reference in the draft was not to an independent third-party source, and didn't anyway support what you had written.


 * I can't see how he meets our notability guidelines either as a musician or a creative professional
 * You must write in a non-promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, with verifiable facts, not opinions or reviews. Your text appeared to have little purpose other than to promote him, his book and his music.
 * There shouldn't be any url links in the article, only in the "References" or "External links" sections.
 * You must not copy text from elsewhere. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. We require that text posted here can be used, modified and distributed for any purpose, including commercial; text is considered to be copyright unless explicitly stated otherwise. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Before attempting to write an article again, please make sure that the topic meets the notability criteria linked above, and check that you can find independent third party sources. Also read Your first article. You must also reply to the COI request above.

I don't think there is any point restoring what is essentially self-promotion better suited to social media. As David has suggested, your user name is not appropriate since you are not him, and I'm going to soft-block this account. If you want me to see messages on this page before you have a new account, I will know you have done so if you start it with my user name, User:Jimfbleak and sign it with four tildes ~ in the same edit. That will send me an alert. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  09:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Jason D Hughes (King Taper), does not meet our username policy. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the username policy guidelines, which are summarized below.Per the username policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a ”Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or “FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our username policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding below this notice,. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  09:55, 21 October 2020 (UTC)
