Hi there,

By your username I suspect you are editing on behalf of the Voluntary Agency Network of Korea. Your recent edit, labeling DPRK as fascist, on the basis of WP:UGC struck me with some concern as, considering your organization's status as an advocacy group I would recommend you review WP:COI and, when you are editing pages that are associated with your organizational mission or, especially, pages related to your organization please limit yourself to edit requests at the associated article talk page. Thank you in advance. Simonm223 (talk) 17:49, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Understood. I am Korean American rather than South/North Korean so I did not consider my self to have an informal "conflict of interest", and VANK does not explicitly take any pro-/anti- North Korean stance. HOWEVER I understand your concern and will read the relevant articles and limit myself to talk pages. ALso I've requested username change to clarify I am not the official account of VANK.

Thanks. It might also be wise to review WP:RS and WP:UGC in specific so that you understand sourcing requirements for this project. Sorry for giving you homework, so to speak, but this is important information for new editors to know. Simonm223 (talk) 18:13, 31 July 2025 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "VoluntaryAgencyNetworkOfKorea", 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. Thank you.

You are right. I am not the official account of VANK but rather a person there. Apologies for not reading the policy before. I have requested rename, VoluntaryAgencyNetworkOfKorea (talk) 18:01, 31 July 2025 (UTC)
