Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Artontheundergroundlondon. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article Art on the Underground, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:


 * avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
 * instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the request edit template);
 * when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. McGeddon (talk) 11:14, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Editing Wikipedia
Hello, thank you for joining Wikipedia!

I notice that it sounds like you are an employee or agent of TfL, so a few explanations of what you have to do if this is so.

Unfortunately, there are some problems with this account name. First, thank you for registering an account - this is a good decision in order to have your activity authenticated and traceable. However, Wikipedia doesn't allow accounts that sound like they belong to a company or a department, only ones that belong to specific people - so 'NicolaSmith@Artontheundergroundlondon' would be fine, 'Artontheundergroundlondon' isn't. So it would be good to rename the account, perhaps to something specific to whoever is going to use it; you may find that this account is locked until this is completed. Second, you should file on your user page a disclosure staement explaining your position. You should also take care to keep edits factual and not anything that could be considered promotional, and back up edits with citations demonstrating the truth of what you write.

If you are not connected with the Art on the Underground programme, just a fan or interested in it, you should also change your username to avoid confusion.

Hope this is OK. Any questions let me know by writing under this and I'll try to get back to you as soon as possible. Blythwood (talk) 11:39, 5 April 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. -- There'sNoTime (to explain) 11:52, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
