User talk:PDBbind
Hello PDBbind. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:PDBbind. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=PDBbind|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. --VVikingTalkEdits 13:33, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

[edit] As previously advised, your edits give the impression you have a financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. You were asked to cease editing until you responded by either stating that you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits, or by complying with the mandatory requirements under the Wikimedia Terms of Use that you disclose your employer, client and affiliation. Again, you can post such a disclosure on your user page at User:PDBbind, and the template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=PDBbind|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. Please respond before making any other edits to Wikipedia. --VVikingTalkEdits 13:52, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
You still have not adequately responded or taken action to the inquiry regarding your appearance as an undisclosed paid editor. If you make any additional edits without complying, you may be blocked from editing. --VVikingTalkEdits 14:00, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
- Dear there, I am trying to use the paid template, but the system prompts I shoud use connected contributor paid template. I am not familiar the mark up skills. Hope to get some more chances to figure it out... PDBbind (talk) 14:46, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
You may be blocked from editing without further warning if you make any further edits without responding to the inquiry you received regarding undisclosed paid editing. --VVikingTalkEdits 14:19, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of 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:
- Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
- 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.
{{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.

Request reason:
Dear there, I updated an article "PDBbind database" created by me many years ago, everything looks fine, though the mark up editing skill is a bit hard for me. When I want to edit and add a word "The" to the title, the system blocked me. Actually I am still reading help document to see what does the "paid" template mean. Appreciate if you can unblock my account and let me try again to satisfy wiki's requirements. PDBbind (talk) 14:43, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
Decline reason:
You have not proposed a new username as instructed. As Jimfbleak notes below, we won't unblock you to write about that topic at this time. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If there are other topics that you want to edit about that are unrelated to your database, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 15:38, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
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 won't consider your request because I came here to block you only to see that [[u|Jauerback}}. What you posted was totally unsourced promo, and it's highly unlikely that you will be unblocked and allowed to chose a permitted user name if your only aim is to carrying on promoting this topic.
