Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, St Mary&#39;s Warwick. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Collegiate Church of St Mary, Warwick, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * 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. MarcGarver (talk) 13:24, 23 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the above, but other than log in and change the fact we have a new vicar from name of someone who left a year ago I'm not sure that's an issue. The information update is fact. St Mary&#39;s Warwick (talk) 13:46, 23 April 2024 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website. '''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 here.'''

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects 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 represent you as an individual person, and it 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 on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page (this page):.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or 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.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, 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 talk page:.

 * Not worth the hassle of setting up another account if you can't update something factual. Please feel free to delete the account. Total waste of time. St Mary&#39;s Warwick (talk) 14:03, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia strives to be accurate and neutral. Allowing those with a conflict of interest to edit without restriction runs the risk of introducing bias into content. Allowing people to use account names that imply they are associated with the subject of an article can create the appearance of bias. So, you may consider it a "waste of time" but the ability of Wikipedia to achieve its mission depends on protecting itself from these conflicts, real or perceived.

 * I'm surprised (having not made an edit to this site before) it is so unsophisticated as not to recognise a simple change in fact (whatever the username), in this case where a vicar has moved on an is replaced with another which is the sole reason the account was created. However, it would seem from the above I could just change the user name of the account and do exactly the same and this would be ok?? This makes no sense. As I have said to your colleague who has blocked the account please delete as it is pointless and no longer needed. 217.36.192.206 (talk) 16:44, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
