Paid editing

Hello Parksystems1997. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Parksystems1997. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Parksystems1997|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. Theroadislong (talk) 07:13, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Park Systems, and I noticed that your username, "Parksystems1997", 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. —Wasell^(T) 🌻🇺🇦 08:15, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Wasell, you say to Parksystems1997 "I saw that you edited or created Park Systems". I see no edits to it by Parksystems1997, not even deleted edits. What am I missing here? -- Hoary (talk) 09:26, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoary: That's the standard wording of the {{uw-coi-username}} template. I think Wasell meant well by using it, but should have instead linked to the diff at the Teahouse where the user stated that they represent the company. Nevertheless, the message about the username is valid. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 15:04, 20 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Hoary: and @Drm310:: Yes, you are quite correct. And I should have checked the template text more carefully when I left the message. I'll try to be more diligent in the future. Thanks! —Wasell^(T) 🌻🇺🇦 04:56, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Paid editing again

As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:Parksystems1997, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Parksystems1997|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. Theroadislong (talk) 06:45, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

September 2022

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post 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. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

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. Orange Mike | Talk 07:32, 21 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

In case you are considering requesting an unblock, let us be clear about a few things:

Your account name violates Wikipedia's username policy. Accounts cannot be named after companies, organizations or groups of people. The account must be used by one individual who does not share access, and the account name must reflect this individual use.
As an employee of Park Systems, you are considered to be a paid editor. Therefore, complying with the terms of Wikipedia's paid editing disclosure policy is mandatory and non-negotiable. You must understand and heed this policy before making any edits in the article space.
We have little interest in what a company wishes to say about itself. Wikipedia articles are summaries of material previously published in reliable and independent sources, with no personal, political or financial interest in the subject. Primary sources affiliated with the company can be used sparingly to verify basic facts and figures, but little else.
You should never directly edit the article about your company. Instead you should learn the proper procedure to request edits on the article talk page.
Your company has no right of ownership or control over the content of the Park Systems article. You cannot demand that the article's contents stay at a version that you prefer, and you cannot demand that other editors stop editing it. Anyone can edit any Wikipedia article at any time; we assume good faith of all editors unless there is clear evidence to the contrary. Disputes over content should be discussed on the article's talk page through a process of civil discussion and compromise. If that does not resolve the disagreement, then there are other dispute resolution measures to try.

Update: Park Systems was deleted for failing to meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. Mere existence is not enough for a company to merit an article. We require significant coverage from multiple reliable and independent sources to consider it worthy of inclusion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:04, 29 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
