User talk:The Hockey News Publisher

Welcome!
Hello, The Hockey News Publisher, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was The Hockey News, 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:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * 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! –Skywatcher68 (talk) 18:21, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

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 from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies 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 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. 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:.

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:.

 * I am "THE HOCKEY NEWS PUBLISHER" a real individual. The title is a person. So I have identified myself per the rules.  And I am adding CORRECT information for the world to see, not outdated, old misinformation or fake news that is there. The Hockey News Publisher (talk) 18:51, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * On our username policy page: "Usernames that are names of posts within organizations, such as "Secretary of the XY Foundation", are not permitted, as such a post may be held by different persons at different times."  Yoshi24517 ( Chat ) ( Very Busy ) 18:55, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * I am being transparent that I, the individual is the Publisher of The Hockey News so that the whole world sees who I am. So should I be less transparent and come up with a name like "YOSHI24518" so that people have no idea who I am? Is that what the problem is?  I am updating OLD information and misinformatiuon and fake news so that it improves ACCURACY of Wikipedia.  As it stands now, information that is there now is WRONG The Hockey News Publisher (talk) 18:59, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
 * So should I be less transparent and come up with a name like "YOSHI24518" so that people have no idea who I am? Yes. That's exactly it. Except please don't use that username because of impersonation. COI rules still apply. I would highly recommend not editing the article page directly and use the talk page to request edits instead.

 * What nonsense. Anonymous people from anywhere in the world can go create a user name that doesn't identify themselves and post incorrect information, take a story which is false and post it to Wikipedia?  How can that be good for Wikipedia. People or company's should be able to provide accurate information and confront slanderous information.  Who gives these people the rights to post misinformation and someone wants to be transparent and identify themselves ... it's against the policy?  So is the policy at Wikipedia to support annonymous posters?  No wonder they are always begging for donations. The Hockey News Publisher (talk) 19:14, 3 August 2023 (UTC)
