COI editing on the Dissociative identity disorder page
Hi there! I noticed your edit at Dissociative identity disorder and wanted to make you aware of Wikipedia's policies surrounding conflicts of interest. In a nutshell, you are generally discouraged from editing information on Wikipedia about yourself, and also from having accounts which represent an organization rather than an individual (or a system, I imagine, in this case). I believe the way you're recommended to handle this is by requesting the edits you would like to see on the article's talk page - I'm not 100% on all of the details but the page I linked will tell you everything you need to know, should you like to see changes to the info about TPA in this article in the future.

For this specific edit, I see that you were trying to update the article to reflect Stronghold's name on your about page now being what it is. I'm more than happy to make that change on your behalf, if you like, since I can clearly see it's a pretty basic amendment in the interest of actually reflecting the source cited. I'm also more than happy to help if you have any questions about editing Wikipedia in general - I'm no veteran, but I know my way around and I'm pretty keen on making sure that alterhuman/plural voices are fairly represented here on Wikipedia.

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "The Plural Association", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. – NJD-DE (talk) 22:40, 10 February 2022 (UTC)
