June 2020[edit]

Please do not add commentary, your own point of view, or your own personal analysis to Wikipedia articles. Doing so violates Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy and breaches the formal tone expected in an encyclopedia. Thank you. S0091 (talk) 04:42, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Concerned InlandRail. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about in the page Inland Rail, 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. --Deep fried okra (schalte ein) 09:15, 11 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Your post on Deepfriedokra's talkpage[edit]

You appear to be trying to use Wikipedia as a platform for activism related to the Inland Rail project, as evidenced by your insertion of commentary into the article and your choice of username. You therefore appear to have a conflict of interest, and must avoid editing the article, apparent from the tone of your comments and your implied assumptions of bad faith in your responses to other editors who are providing you with feedback. This isn't negotiable. If you continue this editing pattern, your editing privileges may be restricted or revoked for violations of WIkipedia's neutral point of view and no original research policies.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because your username, Concerned InlandRail, does not meet our username policy (the “Policy”). Your username is the principle reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have selected a new username that meets the Policy guidelines, which are summarized below.

Per the Policy, a username should represent an individual and should not: represent a group or organization; be promotional; be misleading (such as indicating possession of special user rights or being a ”Bot" account (unless approved for such purposes)); be offensive or otherwise disruptive. However, a username that contains the name of a organization and also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or “FoobarFan87" is allowed, though, among others, the guidance on conflict of interest and the policy of paid-contribution disclosure are relevant.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you wish for your existing contributions to carry over under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" from their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a change of name request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use. Therefore, please check the list here to see if a name is taken prior to requesting a change of name.

Appeals: If, after reading the guide to appealing blocks you believe you were blocked in error, then you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice,.
