Conflict of interest
Hello @Rimini Protokoll, based on your user name and the fact that all your activity on Wikipedia has been on the Rimini Protokoll page, it seems you may be connected to the article subject, in which case you would have an undeclared conflict of interest. Please familiarize yourself with the subject here: Conflict of interest before continuing to edit. If you are found to be in breach of this policy, your account could be blocked.

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Rimini Protokoll, which 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:

 * 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! Drmies (talk) 15:42, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

I saw the note, above, by User:Revirvlkodlaku: they are correct. If you cannot edit constructively, meaning neutrally and with recourse to reliable secondary sources, you should stay away from editing the article directly. The text you added earlier is simply not encyclopedic. In addition, in a separate but related matter, your username is a violation of our policy, which tells us that usernames should represent individuals. I am going to block this name; requesting a new name is easy, but you have to follow the steps in the message I'm about to post below. After that, you need to properly disclose your conflict of interest, following the guidelines in WP:DECLARECOI. Sorry for the inconvenience. Drmies (talk) 15:45, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Disruptive editing
Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at Rimini Protokoll, you may be blocked from editing. I reverted your edits, left you a talk page message, and you have proceeded to reinsert unreferenced content in an article where you may have a conflict of interest. This is considered edit warring, and you are currently engaged in disruptive editing. If you continue to ignore the warnings you have received, your account will be blocked.

 * If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
 * If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

March 2023
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Rimini Protokoll, 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:.

Thank you. Drmies (talk) 15:46, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

Perhaps you should have a look at Signs of sockpuppetry. You cannot, while blocked, edit while logged out, and you may certainly not edit an article with which you have a conflict of interest--an as yet undeclared conflict of interest. Drmies (talk) 14:58, 20 March 2023 (UTC)
