Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Mamadragons. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Mama Dragons, 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * 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 are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. –DMartin 22:56, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted. Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges.   Hummerrocket   (talk)  22:58, 9 November 2020 (UTC)
 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

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. Drmies (talk) 23:08, 9 November 2020 (UTC)

Whether or not you're getting paid is irrelevant: that you have a conflict of interest was already obvious. Changing your username is a start, but the next thing is to follow the guidelines in WP:COIDEC. And then there are all the other things. For example, we don't do mission statements. Your goal (it may be laudable) is not our goal, and so all the things you mention are just not material here. If you choose a new name, and if you get unblocked, and if you properly declare your COI, then you should consider looking up what secondary sources have to say, because that is what we do. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 00:46, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
 * You aren't paid to be the marketing director? 331dot (talk) 09:05, 10 November 2020 (UTC)

We are all volunteers except our part-time Executive Director. It sounds like this information isn't editable which is unfortunate. The credibility of Wikipedia is questionable at best if this is the process one must go through to edit misinformation. I'll take my efforts elsewhere.

 * We aren't interested in helping your marketing, no. You can use your social media or a website owned by your organization to say whatever you wish. Wikipedia is only interested in what third parties say about your organization. If you want to make contributions completely unrelated to your conflict of interest, let us know. 331dot (talk) 20:20, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
