Managing a conflict of interest
[edit]
Hello, Prmultcolib. 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 article subjects 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 Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
- 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, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. I have removed the report for your username as per your comment clarifying it, please be sure to read through the above notice regarding your conflict of interest with your employer.

- Thank you! I will only be updating or removing information for factual accuracy and no other purposes. I will review what you have shared so I can familiarize myself with the best way to do this. Thank you. Prmultcolib (talk) 19:19, 21 January 2026 (UTC)
Wikipedia and copyright
[edit]
Hello Prmultcolib! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, it's important to understand and adhere to guidelines about using information from sources to prevent copyright and plagiarism issues. Here are the key points:
- Limited quotation: You may only copy or translate a small portion of a source. Any direct quotations must be enclosed in double quotation marks (") and properly cited using an inline citation. More information is available on the non-free content page. To learn how to cite a source, see Help:Referencing for beginners.
- Paraphrasing: Beyond limited quotations, you are required to put all information in your own words. Following the source's wording too closely can lead to copyright issues and is not permitted; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when paraphrasing, you must still cite your sources as appropriate.
- Image use guidelines: In most scenarios, only freely licensed or public domain images may be used and these should be uploaded to our sister project, Wikimedia Commons. In some scenarios, non-freely copyrighted content can be used if they meet all ten of our non-free content criteria; Wikipedia:Plain and simple non-free content guide may help with determining a file's eligibility.
- Copyrighted material donation: If you hold the copyright to the content you want to copy, or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license the text for publication here. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
- Copying and translation within Wikipedia: Wikipedia articles can be copied or translated, however they must have proper attribution in accordance with Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. For translation, see Help:Translation § Licensing.
It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices. Persistent failure to comply may result in being blocked from editing. If you have any questions or need further clarification, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. GoldRomean (talk) 00:12, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you for sharing this! I will review what I have edited to ensure it follows these guidelines. Prmultcolib (talk) 00:23, 22 January 2026 (UTC)
- Thank you! Please also note the message above—you should follow the instructions at WP:UPE to disclose your conflict of interest, and ideally make edit requests using the Edit Request Wizard instead of editing articles directly. GoldRomean (talk) 00:43, 22 January 2026 (UTC)

[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Prmultcolib", 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. —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 05:21, 31 January 2026 (UTC)
- Hi! PR are my employee initials. I will see how I can change my username though, because the same question you have brought up I have addressed before. Thanks! ~2026-61746-7 (talk) 15:35, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
- Ah, gotcha, I was thinking of PR in the sense of "public relations". I think the username should be fine in that case, although you are still free to request a rename if you'd like. Also, please remember to log in before editing. :) —TechnoSquirrel69 (sigh) 21:07, 2 February 2026 (UTC)
