Hello, Destination Vancouver Team, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your recent contributions.

I noticed that you have disclosed a conflict of interest and would like to thank you for being forthcoming about that. To keep Wikipedia neutral, you are strongly discouraged from directly editing any existing articles you have a conflict of interest with. Proposed edits can be suggested on the talk pages of such articles, and it is strongly suggested that new articles in such an area be created through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

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.)

You are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. If you have not done so already, you can post the mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Destination Vancouver Team. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Destination Vancouver Team|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

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 click here to ask a question on your talk page. Again, welcome!— rsjaffe 🗣️ 22:31, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, website, or role, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you’d like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

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|reason=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. Acroterion (talk) 23:43, 28 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
