Conflict of interest
Hello, MegAHo203091. 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, 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 which forms all or part of work 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.

Please note, you still have not declared your conflict of interest. You will be blocked if you do not do so, as per WP:COI and WP:PAID. --Yamla (talk) 16:06, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

Hello, I now understand the conflict of interest rules for Wikipedia. Thank you for clarifying. MegAHo203091 (talk) 17:23, 12 June 2017 (UTC)MegAHo203091

As you have refused to declare your conflict of interest even after these requirements were pointed out to you, I have blocked you for your violations of WP:PAID. --Yamla (talk) 16:30, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Can you clarify? I don't know that I have a conflict of interest nor do I know how to declare if I do. MegAHo203091 (talk) 17:00, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Meghan
 * You are clearly the same user as and we believe therefore you are employed by Texas de Brazil, or are doing work on their behalf. As such, you are required to declare this, as per WP:PAID. --Yamla (talk) 17:04, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

I appreciate your explanation and apologize for the confusion on my end. I've read the article you linked as it says to cite on the talk page any potential conflicts of interest. Per insutrctions, I have disclosed the corresponding template at the top of my talk page. Can you please confirm I am taking the correct, necessary actions to become unblocked. Again, thank you.

 * You have not yet properly disclosed it on this talk page. You'd also be required to disclose it on the article talk page, before editing further. I'll be happy to unblock you if you properly declare it here and commit to disclosing on the article's talk page prior to any further editing. --Yamla (talk) 17:29, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

Thank you. I believe I now have the proper disclosure and will do also prior to any further editing. MegAHo203091 (talk) 18:04, 13 June 2017 (UTC)Meghan
 * Unblocked! --Yamla (talk) 18:06, 13 June 2017 (UTC)

You have continued to blatantly violate WP:PROMO dispute numerous warnings. As such, I'm extending you one final opportunity. You cannot be trusted to edit Texas de Brazil directly, but you are still free to suggest changes on the article's talk page, so long as you are clear about your conflict of interest. But I'm sorry, no more direct edits to the article. --Yamla (talk) 18:49, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

Yamal, I am trying my best to abide by the rules of Wikipedia. I've solely edited the beginning to be more concise as it is extremely repetitive. I am simply rearranging the content and this most recent time have not added any additional information or content. How is re-arranging the wording of a paragraph deemed "promotional" if the content already exists on the page? Meghan


 * I'm sorry, but this is simply not true. This was not simply rearranging the content. This was another blatantly promotional addition. As was this. You're welcome to request an unblock review, but I'm done trying to work with you. It's clear you have no intentions of abiding by WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 19:01, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Here is the original version: Texas de Brazil is a family owned churrascaria (Brazilian steakhouse) restaurant chain with locations both internationally and domestically. It debuted October 13, 1998 in Addison, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. The restaurant is a Brazilian-American “churrascaria” or steakhouse that combines the cuisines of southern Brazil with Texan style meats.[2] Customers turn a piece of paper green side up to get meat, or red side up to no longer receive meat.

Here is the version I updated: Texas de Brazil is an authentic Brazilian-American “Churrascaria”, or steakhouse, that combines the cuisines of Southern Brazil with the generous spirit of Texas. The Steakhouse Group debuted October 13, 1998 in Addison, Texas, a suburb of Dallas. Texas de Brazil is family owned and operated with locations both internationally and domestically. Customers turn a place card green side up to get meat, or red side up to no longer receive meat.

I would really like to know where new information has been provided in my updated version? There are no new facts but simply restructuring of a paragraph to eliminate repetitiveness. I understood you the first time about avoiding promotional material and I followed your instructions. Please point out exactly the specific issue that you have with this updated version. Thank you.
