User talk:Merrybet Gold Limited

January 2023
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Merrybet Gold Limited", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it appears to represent a company. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you.

 * Hello @Escape Orbit, thanks for reaching out. Regarding your feedback, kindly be informed that this is a company account, and I am a representative of Merrybet Gold Ltd. However, the page content is yet to be published. Thank you. Merrybet Gold Limited (talk) 08:17, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Our policy dictates that you will have to change your username to one that represents you as an individual, Merrybet Gold Limited. See Usernames implying shared use. A name like "Jennifer at Merrybet Gold Limited" would be acceptable, for example. If you're content to lose the credit for the edits you have already made, you can simply abandon this account and create a new one. If you'd like to keep a complete history that includes your current edits, please see Changing username.


 * I'm also a little worried that you say "the page content is yet to be published". If that means you intend to publish an article about your company, please read our Conflict of interest policy first. Bishonen &#124; tålk 08:49, 11 January 2023 (UTC).
 * Hello @Bishonen thanks for reaching out. Please kindly advice on how best an account for Merrybet Gold Limited can be created or retained on Wikipedia. Thank you. Merrybet Gold Limited (talk) 10:37, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * It can't be, I'm afraid. If you read Usernames implying shared use that I linked to, you will see that company accounts are against Wikipedia policy. Only accounts for individuals are allowed here. Bishonen &#124; tålk 13:01, 11 January 2023 (UTC).

Just to make clear a few things; -- Escape Orbit (Talk) 13:59, 11 January 2023 (UTC)
 * A company cannot use an account on Wikipedia, and if it suspected that it is being so, that account will be blocked.
 * If you are a employee of Merrybet Gold Limited, you cannot edit articles relating to, or on the behalf of, it.
 * Regardless of your username, if you create any article regarding Merrybet Gold Limited, and you are employed by them, you have a conflict of interest and it is likely to be deleted, or perhaps re-written from scratch.
 * As it stands, unless you request a name change, and make it clear that this is a personal account, this account will soon be blocked.
 * This may seem harsh, but it is to ensure Wikipedia remains a neutral encyclopaedia, and not a website for company promotion.


 * @Merrybet Gold Limited please create a request for username change at WP:CHU/S. Your current username represents an account which may be shared between multiple editors, which is not permitted. Please also read WP:COI if you plan to make changes about the company you represent. The username policy is at WP:U. Thanks. Silikonz 💬 21:03, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Varieties of English
Hi Merrybet Gold Ltd. Please don't change the spelling of words in articles to your preferred variety of English. They should remain in the variety that the initial editor used. British English is perfectly acceptable too! ;) MeegsC (talk) 16:57, 10 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi @MeegsC, noted with thanks. Merrybet Gold Limited (talk) 08:13, 11 January 2023 (UTC)

Soft block
Since this account has stopped responding, I'm going to assume they have either given up or created a new individual username. The account User:Merrybet Gold Ltd has been softblocked, which means there is nothing preventing the individual from creating a new account. Please note, however, Merrybet Gold Ltd, that promotional editing is still not allowed, and that if you have a conflict of interest (such as being an employee of the company), you must declare it for your new account.
