Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, TeamblueUK. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Namesco, 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 article subjects for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the Edit Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- 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 Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
- 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Annh07 (talk) 09:43, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
- Hi Annh07. I wasn't aware that organisations can't edit their own wikipedia page. How are updates supposed to be submitted then? Our page was very out of date and needed updating. How do other companies do it then? Perhaps they create random accounts with gmail addresses and do it that way. Is that what you are suggested we will have to do? It strikes me as very odd that wikipedia promotes itself as a source of authority, but doesn't actually allow the people who have authority on a subject to update the relevant article.

- Hi, thanks for your reply. As noted in the message above, the way to do it is to propose changes on the articles talk page, after properly disclosing if you are being paid for those edits. Please also note the user name issue below. Thank you. -Kj cheetham (talk) 11:08, 14 August 2025 (UTC)

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
- 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; and
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
- Provide a new username.
To do this, insert 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.
Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.
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|reason=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. Kj cheetham (talk) 09:53, 14 August 2025 (UTC)
