User talk:Lieu of you

November 2018
Hello, Lieu of you. 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, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest 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 which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. In addition, your user name indicates that this account represents a group, which is not permitted, as Wikipedia policy requires an account to be for an individual person in his or her personal capacity. Therefore you should not continue to edit using this account. (However, a user name such as "Joe at Lieu of you" would be fine, and would have the advantage of showing your connection to the group but also indicating that the account is an individual one.)

I posted the message above, including the part relating to the user name policy, in order to help you, by making you aware of the relevant policies and guidelines, so that you could comply with them. However, you still continued to edit with this account, despite knowing that doing so was unacceptable, and it also seems as though your only purpose here may be to promote your band, which I also explained above is unacceptable. I have therefore blocked this account from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting or publicising your band, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
 * Guarantee that the account will be used only by one person;
 * 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.

Before making any unblock request, you should read the guide to appealing blocks. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 16:55, 18 November 2018 (UTC)
