User talk:KRP Properties

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created KRP Properties, and I noticed that your username, "KRP Properties", 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, 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, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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, 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 this form, 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. --IamNotU (talk) 20:09, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Hello, KRP Properties. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article KRP Properties, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. Editing for the purpose of advertising or promotion is not permitted. 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 for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID). Thank you. --IamNotU (talk) 20:22, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 01:12, 8 February 2018 (UTC)

Hi, I'm the person who noticed this account was created yesterday, and added the two forms at the top of this page. I think the block, in yellow, subsequently added by Alexf, has a scolding tone that's perhaps not very appropriate! I wouldn't call the single edit adding the names of senior management staff "spam" or "advertising or promotion", it's rather neutral information that's often added to such articles. It should have been done a bit differently, but it's not a problem. Wikipedia has a policy of not being rude to newcomers, which could have been better applied here. Individuals from companies are welcome at Wikipedia, as long as they follow the rules. Most importantly, not to directly edit articles about their company, but they can participate on talk pages and propose changes if they disclose their conflict of interest. Many companies have a positive relationship with Wikipedia through their employees, and assist in creating neutral and properly sourced articles. If you're still interested in that, please go ahead and request the name change and unblocking by adding the "" template to this page. You're not required to reveal your personal identity, but if you choose to, it may help with transparency. We do need to confirm that you're not the person who created the KRP Properties article in 2011, as that person has been permanently blocked from editing Wikipedia. Please accept my apologies for the slightly unfriendly introduction, and feel free to leave a message here if you have any questions. --IamNotU (talk) 10:00, 8 February 2018 (UTC)
