Hello, Corporation Solutions. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Justin Chart, 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, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam#External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to 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 Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. – NJD-DE (talk) 18:01, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@NJD-DE: Hi, thanks for following up regarding the edit I made on the Justin Chart page [1].

I am an acquaintance of Justin and am not paid. I have been interested in contributing to Wikipedia articles for some time, and this happens to be a page that I see ample opportunity to add more valid information as I am knowledgeable on the history.

My profession includes copywriting in the technology space, so I understand all too well how accurate and reliable information is. I understand how my proximity to Justin could potentially create a bias, and I go to great lengths to create edits with objective information and no violate the COI guidelines (I will state my relationship in the description of my edits moving forward as advised in the guidelines). For instance, in the "Born" field (in the Background information box on the Justin Chart article), you will note that it says "1959/1960 (age 61-62)". I am not sure why there is still a discrepancy here, but it is a fact that no person can have two birth years (unless the age quantification is being weighed on two different calendars or time continuums. Unless otherwise specified, all dates should be using the Gregorian calendar, which we use in our the current civilization). This is just one example of information that can be improved upon that I intend to contribute. I want to reiterate that I intend only to contribute objective information backed by valid sources.

Thanks. I hope this helps to clarify the context of my contributions and allows you to assume my good faith as a newcomer. Please see the: Assume good faith page for further information on this. --Corporation Solutions (talk) 19:24, 20 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website - I have blocked this account. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a change of username of your current account here. The new username must represent only yourself as an individual and comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. Orange Mike | Talk 05:00, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Orangemike: Hi Mike, Thanks for the info. "Corporation Solutions" is not a company, group, or entity. It's a name I created as a form of satirizing bland corporate culture.

I noticed you incorporated the color orange because you like the color orange. Similarly, my username is just a means of showing my personality by showing that I'm keen on generic names by inventing a meta-generic name.

Is that okay?

Part of the problem is that "solutions" is a bad word around here, because of its abuse. See the essay "On Wikipedia, solutions are mixtures and nothing else". --Orange Mike | Talk 19:54, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Corporation Solutions (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

"Corporation Solutions" is not a company, group, or entity. It's a name I created as a form of satirizing bland corporate culture. This is display of my personality."Corporation Solutions" is clearly too meta to be perceived as an actual company or brand. A username that reflects my personality and outlook on the world should be permitted Corporation Solutions (talk) 19:09, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

There is at least one entity according to a google search called "Corporate Solutions". This name sounds like an advertisement, even if you don't mean it as one. I might suggest that there are ways to incorporate this into a more individualistic username (i.e. "corporate solution person" or something like that) or even making "solutions" lower case might help. I am declining this request. 331dot (talk) 19:36, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The community wants an atmosphere of it's norms being taken seriously. If it looks like someone is taking them lightly, and is subverting them to express their individuality, in only hurts the collective sense of propriety. That's even if you're here to build an encyclopedia, and are essentially well-intentioned. It won't matter, and appearances will. You will complain how that's clearly not a very englightened mentality, and will be told that you're high-maintenance and self-important. Then you will became frustrated and conclude how Wikipedia is kind of terrible. To avoid all of this, and to learn how wonderful and not terrible at all Wikipedia in fact is, you need to change the username. tw^sabin 20:07, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
