Hello, Reedcowantv1, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who use multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please remember to disclose these connections. Thank you.This is specifically in reference to .

Multiple accounts
It appears you've created multiple accounts:, , and now this one. Please explain why to avoid problems with sock puppetry, and also confirm that you have read the previously given information about having a conflict of interest. Thank you. Grayfell (talk) 01:18, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello,

Honestly, if there are multiple accounts it's likely my fault. I'm not good at this. I pulled up a document that shows me my wiki acct. and this one Reedcowantv1 is the only one I have listed in my personal record of using, ever. I DO NOT USE any third party to address any changes to this page, but may have logged on using other accounts while being buried in a billion other things...forgive me for being sloppy. I'm happy to provide any other information I need to give to right the wrongs on this page about my life. I am doing the best I can given my limited knowledge of HOW to edit these things and clarify things. Reed Cowan Reedcowantv1 (talk) 01:38, 16 October 2015 (UTC) reedcowan.com


 * That's fine, as long as you are openly acknowledging that the other accounts are yours. Do not use those other accounts again, as it makes it difficult to keep track of editing patterns which can be interpreted as being deceptive. (There are exceptions, but I don't think they apply here; see WP:SOCK for more.) Other editors and I have previously left messages regarding editing with a conflict of interest. I will repeat the informative-but-impersonal template message for your convenience and to make absolutely sure you've familiarized yourself with those policies. For most edits, I would strongly recommend using the article's talk page Talk:Reed Cowan, rather than editing the page yourself. Thanks. Grayfell (talk) 02:07, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!
Hello, Reedcowantv1, 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.)

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! Grayfell (talk) 02:08, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Reed Cowan, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 (talk) 01:38, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Reedcowantv1, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an e-mail to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).'''

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * 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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. ··· 日本穣 ·  投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WP Japan ! 20:58, 16 March 2017 (UTC)
