Hello AsianHallofFameMediaRelations. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:AsianHallofFameMediaRelations. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Melcous (talk) 11:46, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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 against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:46, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia Account Block
unblock|Hi Melcous. I see where you and the Wikipedia team are coming from and I understand how my account username may seem like I am being compensated for creating a page, but I believe you are mistaken. Asian Hall of Fame is a charitable program that is becoming a public charity in a few months. I am a volunteer, unpaid intern and am not collecting any money, I just decided to create the page for the Hall of Fame on my own. I am not receiving compensation and the hall of fame is not creating any profit from the creation of this page. I am willing to change my username in order to continue to edit the page, and I believe I have in fact listed the page under the COI category, but I did not believe that it was necessary to include it under the Paid template as I am not being paid to create this page. Thank You. AsianHallofFameMediaRelations (talk) 22:33, 5 September 2020 (UTC)
 * That may be but WP:PAID specifically addresses interns. Please see Interns, on-loan staff, and unpaid workers, including volunteers, are deemed to be employees. If they are directed or expected to edit Wikipedia as part of their tasks, they must make a paid-contribution disclosure. Your name gives the impression this is the case.

Hi Wikipedia team. If that is the case, if it's possible, I am willing to put the page under the category. Thanks! AsianHallofFameMediaRelations (talk) 22:45, 5 September 2020 (UTC) unfortunately, I am unable to change the category to to the above mentioned paid category due to being blocked.
