User talk:Chris at KWWL

This user, in accordance with the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use, discloses that they have been paid by KWWL for their contributions to Wikipedia.

I have added further historical context to the KWWL page. I am an employee of KWWL. The additions are for purely historical purposes. There is no ulterior motive

January 2017

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

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. Thank you.

Request reason:

I'm Chris Hussey, the Marketing Director at KWWL, and this account was created solely for the purpose of keeping the KWWL Wikipedia page up to date and accurate. I'm happy to provide whatever proof you need to show you I am who I say I am. Please go to the following URL and you'll see my email address tied to this account. Thank you. http://www.kwwl.com/category/301664/contact-kwwl KWWLMarketing (talk) 17:43, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You'll still have to pick a new username. Additionally, you'll want to demonstrate you have read and understood WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO because what you are suggesting is in violation of those policies. Yamla (talk) 18:54, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

Understood. Happy to request a username change. Is "KWWLOfficial" acceptable? Also, I understand the CoI, Paid Contribution, and the Marketing sections. I will make sure any edits or additions made will be labeled as coming from me and this account. I'm honestly only pursuing this course of action because our General Manager would like information added about our recent upgrades to our historical building.

Usernames must represent an individual, in your case something like "Chris at KWWL" see WP:ISU for more examples. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:09, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

You need to be familiar WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. Nevertheless, I've renamed and unblocked your account. PhilKnight (talk) 22:40, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I see that WP:PAID applies. Please read and heed that. Once your are unblocked, there are requirements to meet. Thanks, --Dlohcierekim (talk) 20:52, 26 February 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You!

Appreciate all the help, folks.

Conflict of interest

Hello, Chris at KWWL. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the article KWWL, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI 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 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 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. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 22:15, 17 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

I've updated as best I can understand. Editing wikis have always confused me, and the interface here is no exception. Either way, I added some COI disclaimers to the section I updated. I doubt anyone will see what was added as a conflict of interest. Have you actually read the edits?
