Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Greatprizes. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page World Bank, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI 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 (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your COI 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, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 22:31, 8 July 2019 (UTC)
I am trying to sort through the mistakes I made when I began to edit wikipedia. I most emphatically do not have a connection to the World Bank--nor am I promoting or being compensated for any edits I made. I am, however, a beginner. Since I may be blocked from even posting this comment, I am going to see what I have to do to consolidate the accounts I created and make an official declaration that I have no conflicts. I am open to any suggestions, although I understand that I am responsible for figuring out how to do this. Greatprizes (talk) 18:08, 4 October 2019 (UTC)

Request reason:
I now understand that I am blocked for sock puppetry--and I have gotten a definition for what that is. I tried to explain and be unblocked on another account--because my understanding is that I cannot delete the other accounts once they have been created. As I stated elsewhere, I created the accounts out of stupidity. I couldn't find the password for this account, and then I was creating them because they were giving me the "new user" tips I needed to learn how to use this system. To unwind this mess, I understand (from the other unblock request) that I need to make it on this account and luckily, I found a piece of paper where I had written the account and password. My plan, if unblocked, is to continue using this account, and do an "account vanish" on the others so that I don't inadvertently use them. If you have any other advice, I would appreciate it--however I understand that I am responsible for figuring it out myself and cannot simply tell you I don't understand.

Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 11:43, 22 October 2019 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
I understand what I did with the other accounts was wrong. I was learning how to use wikipedia (still am). I retired two of the accounts and I cannot get into the third--but you can see I did not use it. I will only edit under Greatprizes if unblocked — Preceding unsigned comment added by Greatprizes (talk • contribs) 19:32, 4 January 2020 (UTC)

@Bbb23: would you be open to giving this editor another chance? Greatprizes is apparently on a static IP and doesn't seem to have created any new accounts since being blocked. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 23:15, 16 January 2020 (UTC)
- @NinjaRobotPirate: If unblocked, what are they going to do at Wikipedia?--Bbb23 (talk) 00:06, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
- Probably edit the same topics? The editor was given a COI warning, but I can't tell what the COI is supposed to be. It looks like Greatprizes wants to learn more about our policies and is open to taking advice. That's more promising than some unblocked editors. I don't know. Greatprizes, what do you intend to do here? NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:45, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
- The COI was about apparent WP:REFSPAMming of the works of Kathryn Lavelle. - MrOllie (talk) 00:49, 17 January 2020 (UTC)
