[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, product, department, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.
  • To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
  • If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

  • The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
  • The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.
  • Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, department, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

Requested username:

Request reason:

previous username was closely associated with a soccer club. Ristozi (talk) 18:08, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I have renamed you, and since this is only a username block, I will remove it. However, you will be expected to very soon make the Terms of Use-required paid editing disclosure. You should also read about conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 21:19, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

What affiliation do you have with Ristozi FC, if any? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 19:04, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I'm in charge of social media and branding for the club. Also a soccer fan for the DMV region in the US. Ristozi (talk) 19:51, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
By Wikipedia's definition, you are a paid editor and therefore bound by the conditions of the mandatory paid editing disclosure policy. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 20:14, 30 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not paid by them, it's a semi pro team. All teams in the NPSL are bound to have a wikipedia page at some point. Maxxw71 (talk) 00:06, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the team gives you anything at all, including a ticket to a game, it's paid editing. But even if they don't give you anything, you have a conflict of interest to disclose. 331dot (talk) 00:48, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Ok thanks. Will read up more on paid editing disclosure and conflict of interest.
If the Ristozi FC article goes live, would it be best if I contact the owners to clean up and remove the paid contributions label? Maxxw71 (talk) 01:04, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
If the draft is accepted as an article, the reviewer will deal with the tag. 331dot (talk) 01:07, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello bonadea,
Thanks for reviewing this article and pointing out reasons for it being declined.
I have since removed the wikipedia references, and only used the official websites from the league that Ristozi played in (MSSL), and the official press release from the NPSL highlighting information about the club.
Before I re-submit, let me know if there are any other issues with the article.
Thanks Maxxw71 (talk) 21:59, 31 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
