Conflict of interest and your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Haftech", 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, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

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. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. --Hammersoft (talk) 14:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Copyrighted text

Please be aware that we generally can not accept content copied from somewhere on the Internet and placed here, as you did with this edit. Even if we had a release statement from an authorized person at that website that released the text under a license compatible with Wikipedia, we likely wouldn't accept it as such text is often non-neutral. See WP:NEUTRAL. If you have questions, let me know. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:23, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Colin at HAAF (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I was trying to update the links and information for the Historical Army Aircraft Flight, for which I am the Chief Engineer. We are all volunteers in the charity.

Decline reason:

That would be an acceptable username; however, you have not described what you want to edit about other than your organization. Please review conflict of interest and paid editing(which applies even for unpaid volunteer work, as you are compensated with the experience of the work) If editing about your organization is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you want to edit about topics unrelated to your conflict of interest, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 01:12, 21 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
