User talk:Jim from Service Electric Cable TV & Communications

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. 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". 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. -- The Anome (talk) 15:22, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

About your block
Hello! You say you're the marketing manager of the company. First, in order to be unblocked you'll have to change your username to "John from Service Electric Cable TV & Communications" or something similar, indicating that this account is owned by only you as shared-use accounts are not allowed. Second, you'll have to get assistance in updating the article that is on your company as you have a WP:COI. If you are being paid by your company to edit that page then you are required to disclose it per Wikipedia's TOS (see WP:PAID). Hope this helps! ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 15:43, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

The issue that I have is that some of the information was inaccurate or outdated and needed to be fixed. So the solution would be to create a new account with the name "Jim from Service Electric Cable TV & Communications" and edit the page for accuracy under that account?


 * Actually no you don't. There's conveniently a way to change your username without having to create a new account. Also, if some of the information is inaccurate or outdated, then please make an edit request on the talk page of the article on your company as 331dot noted above. There's information on how to request your account to be renamed at WP:RENAME. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 17:01, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

 * I see that you have now changed your username. You can now be unblocked because the reason you were blocked in the first place was because of your username. All you have to do is add  With your reasoning being that you have changed your username to no longer imply it's a shared account. However, because of your relations to the company, if you're being paid to edit then you must declare that your company is paying you to edit (You don't have to say how much you're being paid, just that you are). Then, if you aren't being paid you can make an edit request on the talk page of the article about your company, requesting the changes you want to be made. See WP:PAID for info on how to declare that you are a paid editor. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:15, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
 * It appears Deepfriedokra already unblocked you after renaming you. The rest of my reply above still applies. ― Blaze The WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 18:19, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Rename from "Service Electric Digital Marketing Team" to "Jim from Service Electric Cable TV & Communications"

Welcome!
Hello, Jim from Service Electric Cable TV &#38; Communications, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

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! -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 18:11, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia
is an encyclopedia. "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." Because of your conflict of interest, you should not edit the article directly. Instead, you should discuss content and sourcing on the article talk page, and make WP:EDITREQUESTs as needed. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 18:14, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

If you would like I can help you with correctly making an edit request since I understand that it can be a bit confusing. ― <b style="background:#0d1125;color:#51aeff;padding:1q;border-radius:5q">Blaze The Wolf</b>Talk<sub title="Discord Username" style="position:relative;right:22q">Blaze Wolf#6545 18:55, 6 October 2021 (UTC)
