COI username notice

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "CTC Germany", 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.

Dear AngusWOOF, thanks for your notice. I was not aware that the English Wikipedia differs in this respect from the German Wikipedia (where there is even a mechanism to "verify" accounts with company names). So, if the article draft that I submitted survives the review, I'll probably use my existing personal account for editing English Wikipedia pages. What happens to this account then? --CTC Germany (talk) 07:13, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

The account will be blocked until it is renamed. If there is another account you use for editing, you will have to declare conflict of interest if you have an association with the group. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 19:09, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Dear AngusWOOF, thanks for letting me know. I hope there is a mechanism that only the English Wikipedia account is blocked, because, as I wrote, German Wikipedia encourages accounts with organizations' names to verify [1] and additionally declare conflict of interest, and I'd like to keep my editing for the research institute in the German Wikipedia transparent, since the article on the research institute (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Center_for_the_Transformation_of_Chemistry) seems to meet German Wikipedia's notability standards. As we are a public funded research institute, in any case, our aim is not advertisement, but neutral information. --CTC Germany (talk) 07:06, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Your submission at Articles for creation: Center for the Transformation of Chemistry (October 10)

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by GraziePrego was: This topic is not sufficiently notable for inclusion in Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: Rejecting. First of all, this article being created by "CTC chemistry" is a complete obvious COI.

Secondly, the centre doesn't even exist yet.

Thirdly, there is no notability to support it.

Maybe this will be a suitable article once the centre is actually built, but still not to be created by someone with a clear COI.

COI

Hello, CTC Germany. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, 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, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} 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 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, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. GraziePrego (talk) 01:50, 10 October 2023 (UTC)
