Welcome!
Hello, MetropolisPAC, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited 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
 * The Teahouse, our help forum for new editors

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, visit the Teahouse, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome!   17:40, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * I have submitted a request for a username change.
 * How and to whom do I need to disclose the employer information?
 * Are ref links pointing to the organization's website ok? Or do ref links need to go to a secondary source such as a newspaper or other journalistic medium? MetropolisPAC (talk) 17:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)


 * Please see: Paid-contribution disclosure. For any questions please ask at the Teahouse. The username is not acceptable, as it is in clear violation of the Username policy, so please do not do any edits related to your employer, until you have followed the rules, disclosed your paid policy issues as indicated, and a change of name has been effected. Failure to do so will result in a blocking of the account. Ask at the Teahouse soonest for any questions. -- Alexf(talk) 18:54, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

COI
Your user page still makes it look like you want to control the article on behalf of your employer. Secretlondon (talk) 05:58, 29 May 2024 (UTC)

Paid Disclosure
Failure to comply with Paid-contribution disclosure can get your account blocked. Please read and comply if you are paid or have a relation with the subject of the article. You have blanked your User page. Although that is tecnically accepted, erasing your required PAID disclosure is not. So, as you have elected to remove the mandatory disclosure, this account cannot do any edits violating Conflicts of Interest rules and Paid Edits rules. Be warned, that any violation will result in a blocking of the account. You have elected to do so, so understand what this means. If you have any questions about Wikipedia, please ask at the Tea House. -- Alexf(talk) 13:40, 29 May 2024 (UTC)
