Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Ziferblat. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Ziferblat, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 21:55, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Your username choice is taken, you will need to choose something else; you may use Special:CentralAuth to check if a potential choice is available. Regarding your request, are you saying that you have a legal action against the source of the statement, the publisher of it, or Wikipedia?(or someone else) Is that legal action concluded or ongoing? Wikipedia normally summarizes what appears in independent reliable sources. 331dot (talk) 00:09, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

Hi 331dot it was reported in the press that when we left Albert Dock there were rent arrears, this wasn’t the case. We took legal action against the dock as it was their press team that created the story. You can verify this as the dock had hired someone from the Liverpool echo as their PR representative. The truth was they wanted us to leave as part of their bigger plan to regenerate the leisure and retail offer. At the same time we went six other independent retailers were also asked to leave to Male way for larger chains such as Gino ‘D’campo. The dock didn’t have any arrears, I am no able to prove a negative and in this instance a large organisation has won with lies in return for our press release at the time due to us disputing us being kicked out. Please reconsider the edit as it is damaging Ziferblat (talk) 09:37, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
 * Are you saying that you lost your legal action?(or are you referring to Wikipedia as the "large organization"?) Just trying to clarify. 331dot (talk) 10:37, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

No we won, against the Albert Dock. It never got to Court, the threat of action was enough for them to agree that there were no arrears. With regards to the story in the Liverpool echo, it had already been published and it would’ve cost us thousands to have it removed so we just had to live with it. Hence me removing the comments on wiki re rent arrears. Our website is also incorrect as we’ve updated our domain but i wasn’t able to change this either. It should be www.ziferblatuk.co.uk please feel free to check it out
 * If you want something removed because it is defamatory, you should email the address written in this paragraph. (you may do that regardless of what happens here with the block) Regarding your username, as I state above you will need to choose something else. If you wish, it is permitted for you to have the name of the business as part of your username, such as "Username of Zieferblat" if you wish(you don't need to use your actual name).  Please also review conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 11:14, 14 April 2019 (UTC)
