Conflict-of-interest
Hello, Impracticalproductions. 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 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. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:52, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Promotional language
Hello, I'm Ohnoitsjamie. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. OhNo itsJamie Talk 17:52, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. OhNo itsJamie Talk 18:05, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Impracticalproductions, does not comply with Wikipedia's username policy. '''Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy', which is summarized below.Under Wikipedia's username policy, a username should represent an individual person''. It should not : represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights, being a "bot" account - unless approved, or implying that the account has any administrative or "moderator" user rights, or any kind of "power" or "authority" over other users); nor be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of an organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87" is allowed, but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company". Among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy on paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.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 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 of 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 and 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.

Appeals: If your username is not in violation of Wikipedia's username policy, 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 user talk page here:.

If you do not address the conflict of interest, you will certainly be blocked from editing James Murray (comedian). Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:21, 22 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi,
 * I can certainly change my name. I am a fan of James Murray and all the Jokers. I just wanted to change the photo of him to one that looked more appealing. I was in talks with another admin about a copyright photo his nephew took that I uploaded. They told me to have his nephew create an acct to upload it OR have him email permission (which he did). So why would his nephew be able to edit his wiki page, wouldn't that be a conflict of interest? I am not trying to write biased things on his page. I just wanted to add better photos when not so good looking ones are added. I am not intentionally trying to break any rules. Please let me know how to proceed with unbanning my acct.

 * OK, change your name--follow the instructions in the template above and propose a new user name, one that is unique to you and does not suggest you're running a company. The nephew is irrelevant here--if they had an account they would also have a COI. I saw your edits and they're fine, and so I didn't revert them, and that picture is better--but your name does not meet our guidelines, and the conflict of interest needs to be declared, following the guidelines in WP:COI. (A fan has a conflict of interest too: conflict of interest is not the same as "paid editing".) Thank you, Drmies (talk) 15:58, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

I have added the COI to my user page as the conflict of interest guidelines suggest. Thanks for all your help. Nllv9642 (talk) 18:06, 22 March 2023 (UTC)nllv9642
