Conflict of interest

Hello Absatlantic. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 69.181.248.16 (talk) 23:51, 17 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Aaron Bay-Schuck

The article Aaron Bay-Schuck has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Subject does not appear to meet the notability guidelines set forth at WP:BIO.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JohnInDC (talk) 02:05, 6 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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, please see how to appeal a block.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Pebble12 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

pebble615 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I will only use this account to edit other articles, although I do request that someone please help shorten the Aaron Bay-Schuck article to the first paragraph so that is complies with the sources sited and the page does not get deleted. The first paragraph lists his credits, such as signing Bruno Mars and Sublime with Rome, and helping co-write Flo Rida's single "Right Round" (which is actually sited on a another Wiki article), etc. I will not edit this myself, as stated by rules of COI, but ask that another, unbiased user help shorten the article so it is deemed appropriate. Thank you.

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. -- Atama頭 21:07, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aaron Bay-Schuck

Hi there, I'd like to thank you for pledging to comply with our conflict of interest guideline, and hope you follow through with the username change request before you continue to edit (again, the place to make the request is at WP:CHUS). I do want to bring up Aaron Bay-Schuck however. The article is currently being proposed for deletion. That is a process that we use to delete articles where the deletion is completely uncontroversial, in other words, nobody has a good-faith objection to the article's deletion. Technically, you could prevent that deletion from occurring simply by removing the deletion tag from the article or protesting its deletion on the talk page, either way the proposed deletion will not happen and from this point on the article will be ineligible for deletion. But before you do that, there are a couple of things I'd like you to consider.

First of all, there are at least 3 people who have expressed that they want the article to be deleted. The person who initially proposed the deletion, and two others who endorse the deletion. If you contest the proposed deletion, it's almost inevitable that the article will be brought to Articles for Deletion, so that people can discuss whether or not the article should be deleted. At least 3 people support that, so you would almost surely face some opposition right away and the article may be deleted regardless.

Secondly, you have pledged to avoid editing the article. You're not actually forbidden from doing so, but you've been blocked once already and protesting the deletion of the article will once again reinforce your conflict of interest. If you allow the article to be deleted, though, there will be the opposite effect, as that will show a real commitment to the pledge that you made when you requested an unblock. I'm not telling you that it would be wrong to protest deletion, it's your right to do so. But I'm only saying that it might be in your best interest in the long run to let it go. As I said before, it would likely be deleted anyway.

The article will automatically be deleted in 5 days as long as nobody objects, so you have that long to make your decision. I just wanted you to know what your options are and to give you some advice to make the right decision. Thank you. -- Atama頭 21:22, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
