User talk:KR at ESB Business School

Hello Esbbusinessschool. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
 * Duly noted for future reference. Thank you!

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, 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:Esbbusinessschool. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 12:54, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Esbbusinessschool", 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, 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, 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.
 * Change of username requested. Thank you!

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Esbbusinessschool, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. VViking Talk Edits 13:22, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * We as the marketing team at ESB Business School have received messages that a lot of the information on our Wikipedia page is outdated - e.g. the wrong Dean, wrong program names, incorrect information. Thus, we wanted to correct the page. We are not compensated by a third party and do not plan to pursue any edits other than on the page referring to us. The edits we made are corrections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esbbusinessschool (talk • contribs)
 * In that case, you can suggest edits, but can’t make them yourself. Failure to do so will result in a block. This is the equivalent of uw-paid3, so expect your next warning to be your last. 67.85.37.186 (talk) 13:46, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either: This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.
 * 1) Add four tildes  ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment, or
 * 2) With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button OOUI_JS_signature_icon_LTR.svg located above the edit window.

Thank you.67.85.37.186 (talk) 13:48, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because the chosen username is a clear violation of our username policy – it is obviously profane, threatens, attacks or impersonates another person, or suggests that you do not intend to contribute positively 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.

 * To clarify, this is more of an instance with a spamunblock(see uw-spamublock.) This is promotional editing in violation of WP:COI, a possible breach on WP:PAID, combined with spammy edits. By itself a soft block would work, but combine it with spammy edits, a hard block is appropriate. This means you must request unblock to be unblocked using the code above. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

Thank you. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 14:26, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
 * the block is no longer necessary because you
 * understand what you have been blocked for,
 * will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
 * will make useful contributions instead.
 * We are very sorry for not compiling with the Wikipedia policy as we have been unaware of the restrictions. We would like to retire this account and suggest further changes by using the Talk page as requested.
 * You need to type in you're reason here, replacing you're reason here with the "We are very sorry for not compiling with the Wikipedia policy as we have been unaware of the restrictions. We would like to retire this account and suggest further changes by using the Talk page as requested." I gotta warn you, it won't fly. Also please read WP: BE-you may not edit under any account/IP until you're unblocked. --67.85.37.186 (talk) 01:45, 9 October 2020 (UTC)
