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. Thank you. Mz7 (talk) 08:40, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

Hello SPinto. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, and that you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to Black hat SEO. Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists, and if it does not, from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly. Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:SPinto. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, please do not edit further until you answer this message. Dlohcierekim (talk) 04:53, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Compromised account blocked
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for this account is evidently accessible by multiple individuals, and is therefore considered a compromised acccount. Furthermore, this account is also unlikely to be owned and operated by the person whom the account is named after. A Wikipedia account must belong to one individual only, and not impersonate another individual who is not the sole operator of the account.. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:23, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

Update
Hello there Wikis,

I was previously co-owning the SPinto page. Upon useful remarks, I created my only account. While I am an employee of the company itself, I intended to modify the content in a NON Advertising manner. Now knowing better the Wikipedia regulations and values, I am having difficulties with two statements on the page: see Conflict of interest. Initially, the article was not created with the intention to advertise or to emphasize any particular traits of the company, but to solely inform the general public. Now facing these two issues: because it is highly unrecommended to modify the content of the page as an employee I am at a higher risk of being blocked, when I am solely seeking modifying the content in a objectified way. I truly intend to respect the rules of this platform, thus, I am seeking help/advice from other wikis on how to proceed. Sincerely, -Eve


 * Here's guidance in a nutshell:
 * If you have an article in draft space, you may modify it to you heart's content before submitting it for review. It should be the reviewer's decision, not yours, to publish the article in main space.
 * If you have a conflict of interest with an article already published in main article space, you are welcome to make minor corrections, such as spelling, grammar, numbers, and names. You may revert obvious vandalism. And you may add citations to reliable sources that are independent of the company. For any substantive changes to the content, you should propose those changes on the talk page. You may preface your proposal with the tag request edit to cause your request to be listed in a category page that some editors monitor.
 * I hope that helps. ~Anachronist (talk) 05:29, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * That's good advice. Eve: suggest you update your message at the top of this talk page. You could even post it to your user page (User:SPinto) which you are not using yet. Regards &mdash; Martin (MSGJ · talk) 07:51, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
 * There's also a standard template you can use to disclose paid editing publicly. See WP:PAID for details. ~Anachronist (talk) 23:47, 31 October 2017 (UTC)
