User talk:MC Media Relations

June 2019
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. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. 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. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, MC Media Relations. 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 COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI 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 (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your COI 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, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

There is no conflict of interest, as I do not work for Montgomery College. i am just a student.
 * Your username is "MC Media Relations". This suggests you are an official representative of the college. 331dot (talk) 15:56, 24 June 2019 (UTC)

I made that my username because i didn't know about the conflict of interest, and i thought it would be odd if some random person was editing the page.
 * Then that was a poor decision for you to make as your college has a media relations department. As noted by Yamla, you will need to tell what other subjects you want to edit about. 331dot (talk) 16:23, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
 * This also contradicts what your linkedin profile says (which specifically lists your experience, not just your education). It looks like you are attempting to mislead us. You'll need to address that in any subsequent unblock request, and it's very unlikely you'll be unblocked unless you agree to avoid writing about that college and any other subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest. --Yamla (talk) 18:00, 24 June 2019 (UTC)
