Welcome
Hello, Victorylabsolutions and welcome to Wikipedia! It appears you are participating in a class project. If you haven't done so already, we encourage you to go through our training for students.

If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Please also read this helpful advice for students.

Before you create an article, make sure you understand what kind of articles are accepted here. Remember: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and while many topics are encyclopedic, some things are not.

Your instructor or professor may wish to set up a course page, and if your class doesn't already have one please tell your instructor about that. It is highly recommended that you place this text:  on the talk page of any articles you are working on as part of your Wikipedia-related course assignment. This will let other editors know this article is a subject of an educational assignment and aid your communication with them.

We hope you like it here and encourage you to stay even after your assignment is finished! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 19:50, 10 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Thank you. I never knew there was something specific for students. I shared the course page stuff with my professor. Could we still change my username so I don't confuse anyone reviewing stuff again? Also do I need to finish the training before I can post again or can I post now with the educational assignment?

 * Please tell your professor that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a WP:SOAPBOX from which to shout updates.-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:01, 10 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Are you being truthful? I was under a different impression. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:02, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * I messaged them. They said they didn't know updating the page wasn't okay and they gave me a new assignment for extra-credit. I'm really sorry for violating the terms for this. I really tried to make sure everything was backed up by facts and was unbiased. Victorylabsolutions (talk) 19:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Personally, and given the nature of your contributions and the firm whose name you use, I do not believe a word of it. Kleuske (talk) 20:06, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

Hello Victorylabsolutions. The nature of your edits, such as the one you made to Erin Tobin, 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:Victorylabsolutions. 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. Kleuske (talk) 16:49, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

As previously advised, your edits, such as the edit you made to Erin Tobin, give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Victorylabsolutions, and the template Paid can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form:. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Kleuske (talk) 17:13, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

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

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, 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.
 * 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.
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and 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.

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. Courcelles (talk) 17:25, 10 July 2023 (UTC)

is closed. "Please address the reasons for your block. They are promotional edits and a promotional username. Please follow the instructions in the block notice on your talk page. Please post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use.

WIKIPEDIA is an encyclopedia. It is not a place for promoting anything or anyone or for any form of advocacy. You will not be unblocked to make promotional edits. Please describe what (non promotional) constructive edits you would make.

BECAUSE Wikipedia's policy is that usernames should not be shared between more than one individual, the following types of usernames are not permitted because they imply shared use:

USERNAMES that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted (these also fall under Promotional names). Personal usernames that imply shared access, such as "Jack and Jill", are not permitted. 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. HOWEVER, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc. Please see the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Guide_to_appealing_blocks Thanks".-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:14, 10 July 2023 (UTC)
