Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, SMRcreative. 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 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 WP: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. Theroadislong (talk) 19:31, 26 November 2019 (UTC)


 * Hi Theroadislong. Thanks very much for the message and guidance. Just to say, COI is something I am reading a great deal about currently, and I am due to make a Paid-contribution disclosure at some stage in the future (for a separate page). However, in this case (Alan Partridge), I apologise if any edits I made appeared to be a conflict of interest. In reality, I'm just a fan. Happy to discuss further if it would help. Thanks again.

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "SMRcreative", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it seems to be the name of a business. 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. 331dot (talk) 21:22, 26 November 2019 (UTC)

There was no content on your userpage to delete until you added the deletion tag. If you were referring to your account, accounts cannot be deleted, only abandoned. If you created a new account or no longer wish to edit Wikipedia, simply abandon this account. 331dot (talk) 12:38, 27 November 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. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. 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. The SandDoctor Talk 17:55, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
