Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, NBDB120. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page National Book Development Board (Philippines), 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 COI}} template), 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. Thank you. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 04:01, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

May 2025

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing certain pages (National Book Development Board (Philippines)) for undisclosed WP:COI editing.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Ad Orientem (talk) 01:48, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

NBDB120 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I understand that I was blocked from editing due to non-compliance with the username policy and undisclosed COI editing. I committed these errors due to my failure to know these policies beforehand. For context, I'm an employee of the government agency, the National Book Development Board, and was directly instructed by our agency head to edit the Wikipedia article "National Book Development Board (Philippines)," since most of its content reflects agency information from 2022. Despite my reasons, I fully understand the rationale for blocking my editing privileges, and that's why this appeal. I commit to abide by Wikipedia policies on editing, in particular by: using an appropriate username; disclosing my COI when involved with affected articles; avoiding editing affected articles directly; and proposing changes on talk pages (by using the {{edit COI}} template), subject to peer-review. With that, I respectfully request the unblocking of my account and IP address, with sincere assurance that I regret my oversight of your policies and the resulting unacceptable editing conduct, and that I promise it won't happen again. I appreciate your time for reviewing my appeal, and I'm looking forward to your favorable response. NBDB120 (talk) 08:31, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As you have an account, forget about your IP address and focus on your account. Attempting to edit via IP would be block evasion(if editing the article you are blocked from). You are only blocked from editing the article about your agency itself; you are free to edit its talk page now, as well as the rest of the millions of articles that we have. Please use the talk page to make edit requests as you stated; you will need to make the Terms of Use-required paid editing disclosure on your user page as well. I would also suggest that you read WP:BOSS, and have your boss read it, too. You have given no reason here that you need access to the article itself, and due to your conflict of interest you don't really need access to the article as you are going to propose edits. As such, I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:42, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

I suppressed the display of the template in your request, to avoid marking this page as an edit request. 331dot (talk) 08:35, 30 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "NBDB120", 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.
