Welcome!
[edit]Hello, WestWindsGin, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.
I noticed that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.
To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.
One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)
In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.
Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
- Best practices for editors with close associations
- Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
- The five pillars of Wikipedia
- Contributing to Wikipedia
- Tutorial

- How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
- Simplified Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{Help me}}
before the question. Again, welcome! Laplorfill (talk) 02:43, 20 June 2021 (UTC)

[edit]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:
- 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:
I'm a new user and not a Wiki-native, so didn't realise I wasn't following correct protocols i.e. I named my username after the business name so clearly no attempt to conceal/coerce/decieve. My intent has only ever been to develop a page based on fact - see links - and not as a 'sock-puppet'! I have followed the precedent outline for Archie Rose Distilling Co on Wiki and have included objective/neutral/factual information only. I declare that I am a contractor to The West Winds Gin, and as such understand that this is a paid contribution which I will update according to Paid-contribution disclosure guidelines once unblocked. I will also continue to check with Editors to ensure all citations and links are acceptable with the terms of the site. Many thanks for your help
Decline reason:
Sorry, we aren't interested in what the company wishes to say about itself. As this is the only area you plan to write about and as you have a conflict of interest there, I'm afraid I have to decline your unblock request. Yamla (talk) 11:56, 18 July 2021 (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.
- The reason why you were called a sockpuppet is because you used the account RhinoBo after you were blocked on this account. Doing so is against Wikipedia policy as it is block evasion and sockpuppetry. To remain within policy, you must not edit using the account RhinoBo until any block on this account is removed. Furthermore I strongly advise to just never edit using RhinoBo again as it using multiple accounts even while not blocked can be against policy as it can be seen as disruptive.

- If unblocked, what do you intend to edit? Have you read our policy on conflicts of interest? !ɘM γɿɘυϘ⅃ϘƧ 23:34, 25 June 2021 (UTC)

Request reason:
Hi Wiki Admins - I've read all of the policies and fully understand where I went wrong. I have acknowledged my COI at the top of my Talk Page as per guidelines, so hoping I can get unblocked to be able to re-submit the article to independent/non-related editors who could help verify the details on The West Winds page. Longhair I would appreciate your help and guidance here please, so the page can be published as a reference source on Wiki. Many thanks
Decline reason:
Only one open unblock request at a time, please. Comments and questions do not need the {{unblock}}
formatting. I have left your request above open. !ɘM γɿɘυϘ⅃ϘƧ 23:54, 11 July 2021 (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.
