User talk:PortcullisHouse

Welcome!
Hello, PortcullisHouse, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! RhinosF1 (talk) 12:56, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 13:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

I would add that if you represent the UK government or a member of the UK government, you will need to disclose that per WP:COI and WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 13:58, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello (User:331dot), I have only just joined the Wikipedia community in order to make it better and further expand knowledge in the areas that I am most knowledgeable about. I do not intend to create vandalism of pages or delete things. I am trying to get to grips with the way that things are created using HTML. I find that blocking me from editing is quite a callous and extreme response and if I knew how to appeal this, I would do. You shouldn't judge everyone by wanting to destroy Wikipedia; my motives are far from it! PortcullisHouse (talk) 14:54, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * You may appeal by following the instructions in the blue notice above; the only issue here is your username and any connection you have to the UK government. I don't recall ever saying that I thought you wanted to "destroy" Wikipedia; I only responded to a report about your username. 331dot (talk) 15:01, 19 January 2019 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at Template:Shadow Great Officers of State. Your edits appear to constitute vandalism and have been reverted. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Repeated vandalism may result in the loss of editing privileges. Thank you. &#x2230; Bellezzasolo &#x2721;  Discuss  15:24, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
