Hello, DB Customs broker, and welcome to Wikipedia! I'm Mathglot and I've volunteered to be your Wikipedia mentor. I'm here for you whenever you need help with Wikipedia. It's great to have you on board to help create this online encyclopedia.

See your homepage for a brief tutorial. Here are a few links you might find helpful:

Need some ideas about what kind of things need doing? Try the "Suggested edits" module top left on your homepage, or the Task Center.

Help is available: as your Mentor, you can always find me listed in the "Get editing help" module bottom right on your homepage; there are also additional help links there. You can also ask me questions directly on my talk page, or try the Wikipedia:Teahouse to get help designed especially for new users from a team of experienced volunteers. So go ahead and ask questions — we’re here to help!

Once again, welcome to Wikipedia! Mathglot (talk) 06:33, 23 December 2025 (UTC)

Hello, I'm Constant314. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Variable-frequency drive have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Constant314 (talk) 21:29, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Dear Constant314,

Thank you for taking the time to review my contributions and for providing feedback. I genuinely appreciate the work you and other editors do to maintain the quality and integrity of Wikipedia.

I want to clarify that my intention was not to promote any product, service, or company, nor to use Wikipedia as a platform for advertising. My goal was simply to fill a content gap in the article related to customs, international codes and standards — a practical and often overlooked aspect of international trade. This information can be valuable to readers who may be involved in logistics, compliance, or global trade.

To ensure the information is reliable and verifiable, I referenced DeepBeez, which I believed to be an independent and credible source for customs and tariff data. If this source does not meet Wikipedia’s standards for independent referencing, I’m happy to replace it with a more suitable one or provide additional verification.

I fully respect Wikipedia’s policies on neutrality, independent sourcing, and non-promotional content. If there is a better way to integrate this information into the article without giving the impression of promotion, I’d be glad to revise my approach or collaborate on improving that section.

Thank you again for your guidance. I’m eager to continue contributing constructively and in full alignment with Wikipedia’s principles. DB Customs broker (talk) 08:29, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "DB Customs broker", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Based on your contributions, it appears that you may be a broker for Deepbeez. If that is the case, please refrain from adding links to Deepbeez as references. Also, your name may violate Wikipedia naming policy. Please review the name policy. Constant314 (talk) 21:49, 4 January 2026 (UTC)

Hello Constant 314. Thank you for bringing the username policy to my attention. I would like to clarify that I am not working for any company, nor do I represent any organization, product, or service. I am an individual editor interested in contributing to Wikipedia in good faith and in an unbiased manner.

I understand the concerns regarding my current username, "DB Customs broker," and I am willing to change it to comply fully with Wikipedia’s policies. I will proceed to request a username change via the Special:GlobalRenameRequest form.

Please let me know if there are any further steps I should take or if additional information is needed. I appreciate your guidance and look forward to contributing positively to Wikipedia. DB Customs broker (talk) 09:30, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Constant314, Mathglot here, DB Customs broker's mentor. Could you elaborate on your Refspam concern? The string Deepbeez occurs in only 2 articles in Wikipedia, both added in late December:

• 09:45, 18 December 2025 at Cold-formed steel (diff)
• 09:26, 25 December 2025 at Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (diff)

These were both added by the same editor, Alichemist72 (talk · contribs),^[noping] and are their only edits at the project. (Note the improper |last= param values in the {{cite web}} in both cases, by the way.)

Do you suspect socking? If not, I don't understand the refspam concern, as the culprit appears to be someone else.

Regarding username, given DB's explanation, I see no need for them to request a change of username, do you? If no connection to Deepbeez (or any org), then shared use does not apply; did you see another potential issue besides that one?

@DB: do you mind sharing where your username does come from? That might help allay concerns. (You are not required to.) Mathglot (talk) 10:11, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

There was a link to deepbeez.com in each edit that I reverted. It appears to me that this user's main purpose is to promote deepbeez. If that is not the case, then I apologize. Before adding the material back, consider whether information about EU regulations should be part of an encyclopedia article. WP:NOTHOWTO and WP:COATRACK may apply. Constant314 (talk) 10:52, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

Is there any other problem with my edits? CustomsFan123 (talk) 06:44, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Dear Mathglot,

Thank you sincerely for your support and for advocating on my behalf regarding the recent concerns. I genuinely appreciate you taking the time to explain the situation and help clarify matters.

Regarding my username, DB Customs broker, I’d like to provide some context to alleviate any concerns. The “DB” in my username stands for Dorbani, which is my surname. It is a personal identifier and not related to any organization, brand, or external entity. The rest of the username, “Customs broker,” reflects my passion and area of interest, which aligns with my contributions to Wikipedia articles in this field.

I hope this explanation helps clarify the origin of my username and reassures you and others that there is no connection to any organization, including “Deepbeez.” I remain committed to contributing constructively and in good faith to the project.

Thank you again for your guidance and support. Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to address these concerns. DB Customs broker (talk) 10:52, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

I do not suspect socking.

Based on your explanation, I have no further objection to your name. You might consider changing it anyway, lest others jump to the same conclusion.

Deepbeez.com appears to be a commercial website and would not be a WP:RS. Constant314 (talk) 11:10, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

If you want to keep your current user name, consider making a statement on your users page about your name. Constant314 (talk) 11:13, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

I had the same two ideas (explain @user; maybe change anyway), so I agree that is the best practice for now if nothing else comes up. Mathglot (talk) 11:19, 5 January 2026 (UTC)

CustomsFan123, other than the recently renamed userid, have you used another username at Wikipedia? Mathglot (talk) 06:00, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

No. Ihave not used another username at Wikipedia. This is my first and only user ID at Wikipedia. Am I allowed to edit now? CustomsFan123 (talk) 06:29, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes, and you always have been. Unless there is a section here on your Talk page signed by an admin saying that you are blocked. Mathglot (talk) 06:59, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

But there's a notification in my homepage saying that "this page doesn't exist" and my user ID here is red! CustomsFan123 (talk) 07:23, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

That is normal. Your user page User:CustomsFan123 in fact, does not exist, so the link in this sentence is red, too. I don't quite understand what you are seeing in your homepage as I cannot see your homepage; it is protected for privacy reasons. If something looks off to you there, please start a new section below and describe exactly what you are seeing. It's not impossible that there is a bug of some sort in the Homepage software that doesn't handle username renames properly. If so, I will follow up with the right team, but please describe in detail 1) what you are seeing, 2) what you expect to see. Thanks, Mathglot (talk) 07:43, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

If you want your user page to exist, then place some content there. A single space character is enough. Constant314 (talk) 13:09, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Now I get it all. Thank you for your explanation. My problem was solved. CustomsFan123 (talk) 15:56, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Yes, but Deepbeez is still not a WP:RS. Constant314 (talk) 07:00, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

Would you please suggest some reliable sources in that regard? CustomsFan123 (talk) 07:21, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

I don't know of any. There is always a tension between reliability and completeness. Wikipedia choses reliability. If you cannot find reliable sources, then the information probably isn't notable. Constant314 (talk) 13:07, 6 January 2026 (UTC)

WP:Verifiability is the core policy governing what can be included in a Wikipedia article. To be verifiable, an assertion requires an independent, secondary, reliable source. If there is no reliable source supporting a statement, that means it is not verifiable, and may not appear in the article. Such content should be removed. If you believe the content is verifiable (not the same as 'true' !) but you cannot find a source, you can start by tagging the material with the in-line template {{citation needed}}, but this should not be done merely as a lazy way of adding unsourced—possibly unsourceable—content into Wikipedia articles and pushing off the task of finding sources onto others. That may eventually get you warnings here on your Talk page, or even a block, if you do that. I would start by having a look at Help:Find sources. If you exhaust the suggestions there, and still cannot find a source, you might ask yourself if the material is really verifiable or not, and whether it can legitimately remain part of the article. Ultimately, if no source can be found, the material will have to go. Mathglot (talk) 20:38, 6 January 2026 (UTC)
