User talk:Lanette Ware

December 2020
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Lanette Ware, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username.

If you choose to keep your current username, please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org including your real name and your Wikipedia username to receive instructions from our volunteer response team about account verification. Please do not send documentation without being requested to do so.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

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. Beeblebrox (talk) 22:49, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Identity confirmed via OTRS per . Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 09:52, 24 December 2020 (UTC)
 * It's good that her identify is confirmed, but given that she added a professional bio to this user page, this seems to be going against WP:NOTWEBHOST. That should be info for a sandbox, or if there are enough reliable sources, at article space, but not in user space. Vaselineeeeeeee★★★ 06:21, 25 December 2020 (UTC)
 * , if you think it needs removed, then blank it. She has already placed it in her sandbox anyway. Dreamy Jazz talk to me &#124; my contributions 22:15, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Lanette Ware. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. To be clear: I think it is likely that Lanette Ware is notable enough for a Wikipedia article, but it is preferable that it be written by an uninvolved, neutral person.
