January 2023[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and 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 available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page here: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

What is the nature of your affiliation with XPO? Are you employed by them, either directly or as a third-party representative? --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:52, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Third-party representative. I will add this information to my userpage once my account is reinstated. I included Xpo in the username to make my COI clear to other editors, but I am happy to remove it. Thanks! Xpo1975 (talk) 18:53, 25 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please ensure that you review and understand Wikipedia's paid editing disclosure policy. Paid editors are held to a higher standard of disclosure than ones with a run-of-the-mill conflict of interest. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 04:11, 26 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for clarifying! Understood. Let me know if there is anything else I need to disclose as I would like to be by the book. Appreciate your fast response. Xpo1975 (talk) 00:10, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi @Drm310, Is there any update for the change in username request? Thanks! Xpo1975 (talk) 20:44, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Xpo1975: Sorry, I cannot provide updates. Administrators are the ones who review unblock requests, and I am not an administrator (just an experienced user). Because of the backlog, it may be days or even weeks before you get a response. Admins are volunteers, just like all other users, and contribute when their time permits. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:10, 3 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem, thanks again. I'll update my user page now with clarifications. Freightguy1975 (talk) 17:41, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your time! Freightguy1975 (talk) 17:40, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Do you have any association with Gannymetis who was also editing these articles extensively? Thank you Star Mississippi 02:41, 12 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Woops, responded on your talk page instead of here. Gannymetis was someone who I was told is no longer with the company and I have no association with them. Freightguy1975 (talk) 21:38, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
that's fine, either place is OK. That's good to know, and thank you for clarifying. Star Mississippi 21:58, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

August 2023[edit]

Please do not attack other editors. Comment on content, not on contributors. Personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you. MrOllie (talk) 17:00, 8 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

What are you referring to? I have not attacked anyone? Freightguy1975 (talk) 18:01, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
