User talk:Berkeleysportscars

Welcome!

Hello, Berkeleysportscars, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Berkeley Cars, 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. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

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:

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 Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}} before the question. Again, welcome! --Rocknrollmancer (talk) 20:24, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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:

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.

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 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} 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.

What is the wiki way to correct factual inaccuracies about a business you represent? Thank you. Berkeleysportscars (talk) 21:04, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for confirming that this Username is connected to the maker. Any request for changes can be made at the article Talk page. These must be accompanied by a WP:SECONDARY published source that supports the change. The maker's website is WP:PRIMARY and therefore does not comply.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 22:30, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Edit Request Wizard can be accessed where there are multiple-choice clickable text boxes to launch appropriate formatted pages to follow.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 22:44, 10 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
