Hello, AOM Editor. 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 organizations for more information. We ask that you:
avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
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.
You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, 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.
Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe 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.
I work for the Academy of Management and was asked to update the Wikipedia page to remove information that was either outdated (such as the financials), outdated or no longer relevant. I apologize if I unintentionally added too many links--I thought this would be helpful to readers looking for more information. I'm willing to comply with your policies and am simply trying to clarify/update information on the page that is no longer correct. If there is a better way to do this, please let me know. But as an employee at the company, what should I do if the information on your website is inaccurate? Please advise as I want to do what's best for all involved. Thank you.

Decline reason:
Are you proposing "Whatever..." as your username? We can't choose a username for you. Regarding the block, Wikipedia primarily summarizes what independent reliable sources state, not what a subject wants to say about itself. An organization is free to say what it wishes about itself on its own website. While Wikipedia strives to be accurate, it is not meant as a source for up to the minute current information as an organization's website would be. Please review conflict of interest and paid editing, two policies you have failed to comply with(the latter being a Terms of Use requirement). Please explain how you will contribute to Wikipedia in a manner consistent with those policies, and describe other topics unrelated to your conflict of interest that you might edit about, as you won't be unblocked to just represent your organization. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:44, 19 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
