Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, MiningCity. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Draft:Mining City, 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 WP:Spam);
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. Meters (talk) 19:55, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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 Wikipedia: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|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. Orange Mike | Talk 20:10, 10 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

JK2020 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I disclose any compensation I may receive for my contributions. I understand the reason for the block. I intend to make contributions that will be informative, not promoting the buiness.

Decline reason:

You seem to be saying that you wish to continue to violate WP:COI by editing about your business. Wikipedia is not for merely providing information. That is considered promotional on Wikipedia, you do not have to be selling something or soliciting customers. If your only goal here is to edit about your business, this is the end of the road for your Wikipedia career. If you are interested in being a general Wikipedia contributor and editing about topics completely unrelated to your business, please tell what those might be along with your agreement to not make COI related edits. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 10:59, 17 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
