User talk:Uptopclickllc

Welcome!
Hello, Uptopclickllc, 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

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! Star  Mississippi  16:59, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

{Unblock|reason=My firm represents the subject of the article I edited. After reviewing his page I noticed your request for further information. I was only attempting to supply what was asked. I formally request you reconsider. If I need to delete what I edited I would be happy to do so. I am not familiar with how Wiki works. I am reading that I am to make some sort of declaration as well I would be happy to do that as well. My main concern is the subjects page is not harmed}

Hello Uptopclickllc. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Skerrit Bwoy, gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are  required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Uptopclickllc. The template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Star  Mississippi  17:00, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * My firm does consult for Skerrit Bwoy. We handle his marketing. While reviewing his page I noticed that you guys requested more information, so I created this page specifically for the purpose of helping you guys with the more info you requested. If I did something wrong, I would most certainly correct any thing I did wrong. I am not too familiar with Wiki. My apologies. If you would like me to remove my additions and citations, I will.

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Star  Mississippi  17:02, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.


 * Please advise as to what I did wrong? I formally request an appeal Uptopclickllc (talk) 17:09, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * For any other reviewer, please note User_talk:Wizgirl1470. I'm about to do SPI paperwork as something is amiss. Star   Mississippi  17:47, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

UnBlock

 * You're blocked because you're using your company name (WP:NAMEGUIDE), which could be remedied with a new username. But unlikely to be unblocked to continue to edit about your clients since several of us have raised concerns about your clients' notability. Your girlfriend claims no connection to your account so we'll see what the SPI decides. I am not unblocking at this stage Star   Mississippi  19:32, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes I didn't tell her i was doing this smh ugff I really goofed here. I'm getting the riot act now. I would happily just delete my account completely and never mess with this again lol. Uptopclickllc (talk) 19:37, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * I would, request a new username if that will help, I'm not sure how to do so however. Uptopclickllc (talk) 20:44, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page (without nowiki) Star   Mississippi  21:01, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * I have remove the text "Your proposed new" from your proposed username. Hope that was ok. PhilKnight (talk) 21:38, 11 April 2022 (UTC)


 * yes, thank you. I am getting such an education Uptopclickllc (talk) 21:48, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Spam? wow Uptopclickllc (talk) 21:50, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Appeal Block
Hello I would like guidance on how to regain the ability to edit and create pages. Uptopclickllc (talk) 17:30, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * WP:GAB explains how to contest your block. You will also want to read the block message above and, I'm afraid, the attempt to mislead from over at User talk:Wizgirl1470 which was pretty much the nail in the coffin here. Frankly, it will be hard for you to get unblocked. --Yamla (talk) 17:36, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Yea I remember the issue. It wasn't really trying to mislead it was ignorance to the process. However is there any pathway? a life time ban seem draconian. Uptopclickllc (talk) 18:43, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I disagree that it was ignorance of the process. But you aren't trying to convince me. --Yamla (talk) 19:28, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Not at all. My main concern if there is a rehabilitation process that I can participate in Uptopclickllc (talk) 19:44, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * The general expectation is that you have refrained from all edits (via this account, via any other account, while not logged in to an account) for at least six months. In this case, you'd need to convince us you understand WP:USERNAME (by picking a new username), WP:COI and WP:PROMO (by explaining what was wrong with your edits and how you'd avoid writing about clients or customers or your own business in the future), and tell us what you plan to write about instead. You'd also need to address the problems with WP:SOCK. There's no rehabilitation process to speak of. It's not like anyone believes you could never be a constructive editor. You just need to demonstrate you understand what you did wrong, convince us you understand Wikipedia's policies, and convince us your future edits would be significantly different. --Yamla (talk) 19:47, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay so do I approach both task at the same time? 1) picking a new name and then 2) Explain what I did wrong. I understand why sockpuppetting is an issue this was not my intention at the time. In the future I have no intention of fully writing articles for my clients as it is obvious in doing so it may come accross wrong. I simply want the ability to make minor edits to their pages in future, updates to releases and so fourth. I am frankly to nervous to do anything else. Uptopclickllc (talk) 19:54, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You should refrain from even minor edits to your clients' pages. You can make an unblock request stating what username you want and explaining what you did wrong and what you'd do differently. WP:GAB explains how. --Yamla (talk) 19:59, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Okay its understood Uptopclickllc (talk) 20:01, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Where would i go to appeal? I did request a name change. Uptopclickllc (talk) 20:02, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You appeal here. WP:GAB explains how. You'll want to note that you already requested a username change (and indicate what you requested it be changed to). --Yamla (talk) 20:03, 28 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Uptopclickllc (talk) 20:13, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Appeal 2023 continued
in response to this: This request might have worked before the sockpuppetry, but now as previously advised you will need to wait six months without editing Wikipedia before requesting unblock, to help rebuild trust by demonstrating that you can refrain from sock puppetry. 331dot (talk) 09:21, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have not been editing in over 6 months. But if my account is blocked from any edits how can I prove to be a good citizen with my account blocked and my name change not approved? I am really looking for a clear pathway here. Uptopclickllc (talk) 15:14, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
