User talk:Sarah Loryman

April 2019[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. 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. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. NJA (t/c) 13:21, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I have changed your username, since that was the only reason for the block, I will remove it. I will note that if you intend to edit about your Council or anything related to it, you will need to comply with the conflict of interest policy and possibly the paid editing policy. 331dot (talk) 13:55, 8 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I believe I have now complied with this by adding the paid employer information on my talk page (below) and on the talk page on the Science Council page? Sarah Loryman (talk) 10:02, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

While you have declared your paid editing status, you still must comply with the conflict of interest policy and avoid direct edits about your Council, instead you may make edit requests on the article talk page. 331dot (talk) 10:04, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your help. I've now done this successfully and will do this in future if needed. Sarah Loryman (talk) 10:35, 9 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
