User talk:Matt Steele Ivybridge

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here:.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here:.

Thank you. HJ Mitchell &#124; Penny for your thoughts? 14:17, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Hello, Matt Steele Ivybridge. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Ivybridge, 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, clients, 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 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. ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:07, 20 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi Blaze,
 * Thank you for this, I do have a conflict of interest in owning a bookshop in the town, but just looking to make the infomratin on the town more complete. Thanks Matt Steele Ivybridge (talk) 16:56, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Ah alright then. Your username gives me the implication that you have a COI regarding the entire town (however it's not against username policy so it's fine). ― Blaze WolfTalkBlaze Wolf#6545 16:58, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
 * thanks Blaze, I included "Ivybridge" to make a unique username. Thank you for the explanations, have a good day. Matt Steele Ivybridge (talk) 16:59, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
