User talk:Kfisk

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "UMassPress", 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 invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack 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. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or 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. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:53, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Hammersoft. I noticed that you recently removed some content from David Harris Ebenbach without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. --Hammersoft (talk) 19:56, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to David Harris Ebenbach, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your content removal does not appear to be constructive and has been reverted. If you only meant to make a test edit, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:03, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Two things; one, Harris is his middle name. Unless he requests his name to be officially changed, it is his name. If you think his middle name shouldn't be displayed, take it up on the talk page of the article. The article is even titled with his middle name. Second, I've asked for your account to be blocked for failure to abide by our conflict of interest guideline with regards to your username and editing. Also, our Terms of Use require you to disclose their "employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which they receive, or expect to receive, compensation". See WP:PAID. --Hammersoft (talk) 20:56, 22 February 2017 (UTC)

Thank you for requesting a username change. However, please be aware that regardless of your username you need to abide by our conflict of interest guideline. Also, as noted above, if you expect to receive any sort of compensation for the contributions you are making to Wikipedia, for example by way of working in support of your job, you MUST disclose this relationship. See WP:PAID. --Hammersoft (talk) 21:54, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
