User talk:Zendarling

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

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Ezra Bayda, 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! Aoidh (talk) 01:04, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Blocked as a sockpuppet
 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts&#32;as a sockpuppet of &#32;per the evidence presented at Sockpuppet investigations/Binkydarling. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * ,, is the topic ban sufficient? 331dot (talk) 08:18, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * If someone else is willing to do the paperwork, I have no objection.--Bbb23 (talk) 12:48, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I am willing to do so, but it won't likely be for a few hours. 331dot (talk) 12:57, 15 September 2022 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
I guess I can believe that you lost your password to your original account, but the thought that someone else was using your account falls flat. That original account was checkuser blocked, so I don't think we can unblock you based on this alone.. I see, "oh, no-- lost my original password," a lot in reviewing sock blocks. After reading Sockpuppet investigations/Binkydarling/Archive, all I can say is, please.

A topic ban on Ezra Bayda, meaning not editing or linking about that person at all on Wikipedia sounds good. Add to that Bernie Glassman and  Ordinary Mind Zen School Generally, we ask that appellants describe what constructive edits they'd make.

No unblock discussion would be complete with out asking "what other accounts have you used in the last year," and with saying, "please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID." Paid editing is allowed so long as you make the needed disclosures. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 15:18, 3 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Thanks for responding! I definitely did not create those other accounts listed in Sockpuppet investigations/Binkydarling/Archive, and have no idea what those comments even mean.
 * I like to make small edits to grammar, spelling. On Bernie Glassman's page, after his passing I made the appropriate words past tense. Stuff like that.
 * I have not used any other accounts in the past 5 years. Zendarling (talk) 15:58, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I will defer this to another member of the unblock team. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:43, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm okay with proceeding on this basis. Checkuser data shows nothing else to be concerned about at this time. --Yamla (talk) 10:37, 15 September 2022 (UTC)
