User talk:TShapedSheep

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website - I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy. 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. Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". 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. Girth Summit  (blether) 16:04, 15 March 2022 (UTC)

 * You will also need to read WP:PAID and WP:COI. You should not be editing articles on behalf or your company or their clients. Girth Summit  (blether)  19:20, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi Girth, so to clarify
 * I initially signed up to create a page for my employer
 * But decided to make unpaid contributions/edits to pages first to get the hang of things. I've made edits to Grab, Angkas, and Skyscanner. Aside from Skyscanner which I was employed with 3 years ago, I have no affiliation with these organisations, and even with Skyscanner I have no such affiliation with either.
 * I was in no way paid for these edits and have not done anything that would be considered paid as I only represent my employer which I haven't created a page for yet
 * Do I understand the policy correctly
 * 1. Disclose on my talk page that I'm paid by employer
 * 2. No need for me to disclose in my unpaid edits that my edits were paid? Annexioltd (talk) 13:39, 16 March 2022 (UTC)
 * If those edits weren't paid for, then no, there was no need for you to declare anything about them.
 * I would strongly advise against creating a page about your employer - it's better to leave that to an uninvolved party. If you insist on writing about it, you do need to make the necessary declarations, and you should create a draft and put it through WP:AfC, rather than creating it directly in article space. You should familiarise yourself with the notability guidelines at WP:NCORP. Best Girth Summit  (blether)  06:44, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
