User talk:BakeappleJam511

December 2024

Welcome to Wikipedia. Your account has been blocked from editing because your username gives the impression that the account represents a group, team, club, organization, company, product, department, or website. Your username is the principal reason for the block. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. You may also read our FAQ for article subjects.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change to this account.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username of this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Important items to note:

The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
- You are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually. Examples include: "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".
The new username you choose cannot already be taken and used by another account. You can search here to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns, "There is no global account for [username]", that means it is available.

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, department, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your user talk page (this page): {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 02:07, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|reason=I will rename myself and disregard any correlation to appear in the manner of a nonprofit organization from now on. I chose this name because the username seemed catchy. For the record, I am not being financially influenced towards certain articles, nor am I working for any organization, or cause, this was on my own volition. If this concerns you in any way I will strive to resolve these issues furthermore, I just wanted to contribute legible information to this site.~~~~}} Operation Saltbox (talk) 04:04, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If you tell me the new username, I can rename you. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 04:17, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

User:Operation Saltbox is very promotional. It's concerning that the name of the organization is the same as your username. FWIW, articles should not be on user pages. They should be in draf space via the WP:AfC process. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 04:20, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Can you change my name to BakeappleJam511? Would this warrant an appealed ban afterwards? Operation Saltbox (talk) 04:26, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The reason for the block is the username, so I can unblock after I rename. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 04:29, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. Can you allow me to delete my user page afterwards then? Operation Saltbox (talk) 04:30, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is done. Unblocking. Welcome back. (globally renamed Operation Saltbox to BakeappleJam511) -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 04:31, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

So even if I create one article about a specific topic am I going to be flagged for "COI". I wanted to add a page that explained the "Society of United Fishermen" organization in Newfoundland on Wikipedia, but now I'm opposed due to this conflict. BakeappleJam511 (talk) 04:35, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see no obvious conflict of interest. If there is an external connection, please read and heed WP:COI -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 04:42, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't put it on your user page. Please use the WP:AFC process. Thanks. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 04:43, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn't planning on using it for my user page. My user page will remain empty in the meantime and I will practice on draft creator. BakeappleJam511 (talk) 04:48, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Your user subpage at User:Operation Saltbox may not meet Wikipedia's user page guidelines. It is intended for basic information about yourself, your interests and goals as they relate to editing Wikipedia, as well as disclosures of conflicts of interest and paid editing. Although a lot of freedom is allowed in personalizing your user page, it is not:

an encyclopedia article (and should not be styled to look like one)
a workspace for a draft article
a personal website, blog, or social media site
a space for self-promotion or other advertising
a CV, resumé or lengthy autobiography

The user page guidelines have additional information on what is and what is not considered acceptable content. Please use your user sandbox or the draft article space to practice editing or to create new articles. Thank you. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 04:21, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am aware of the circumstances now. However, since my ban I cannot delete it so there isnt much I can do at this point in time. Operation Saltbox (talk) 04:27, 11 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
