User talk:Legendarygroup

Welcome!
Hello, Legendarygroup, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was List of corporations based in Winnipeg, which 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.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

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 our use and policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The 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! Mr Xaero  ☎️ 03:58, 22 November 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. Longhair\talk 04:06, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Another administrator will review your request. You will need to choose a new username as instructed in your block notice that an admin can move this account to; you cannot continue to use this username. You will also need to indicate what it is that you want to edit about; if you don't intend to make any edits, there is no need to unblock you as you can still read Wikipedia while blocked. 331dot (talk) 09:22, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

I am happy to believe that you came here in good faith, not knowing what would be accepted and what wouldn't. I too first started editing Wikipedia with mistaken ideas about what was acceptable, as many people do. I am therefore well-disposed to consider unblocking your account, but first, as 331dot has said above, you must choose another user name that is not connected to your business, as Wikipedia policy does not permit such user names.

Hello, thank you very much. Sorry I haven't been on to reply, my wife and I just had a baby so I haven't had a chance to even look at emails the last week and a bit. How do I go about changing my user? Thank you
 * Please follow the instructions above in your block notice. 331dot (talk) 14:51, 12 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Accounts already exist in the names "Bigdannymac" and "Dannymac", so please amend your request to choose something different - you can check if a username is free at Special:CentralAuth. And congrats on the baby :-) Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:59, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
