[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 ~~~~}}

Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 17:42, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
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.

Is this one more appropriate to change to? 204.87.110.132 (talk) 21:45, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I have renamed the account and will remove the block. Please comply with the policies as discussed, and also review making edit requests. 331dot (talk) 14:50, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Your proposed username is okay, but before an unblock, you need to read WP:COI. You won't be unblocked to edit the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation article, and if that is your only goal, this is the end of the line. If, however, you want to edit other topics, then tell us what they are. PhilKnight (talk) 22:28, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Also, you should log in to make your posts, so we know it is you. PhilKnight (talk) 22:30, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am trying to make this page the best it can be and update to current information. What can I do to become unblocked? If this is a COI then how do I post that when making changes? I'm new to this and I am so confused now. OSBIwebmaster (talk) 22:48, 22 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Please read WP:COI and WP:PAID which provides disclosure instructions. 331dot (talk) 10:24, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Yamla declined the current name, though Ternarius went ahead and made the name change. I've asked them to reconsider. For now, the block will stand. - UtherSRG (talk) 12:36, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
First of all, I am not being paid or compensated to specifically update this page, this is not promotional editing. Yes I work at the OSBI but I am just a secretary that the Director of the OSBI has asked to please bring our page up to current information which is what I have attempted to do. All of the information I updated is reliable, true and correct as you will see if you look at other information regarding the OSBI. I would like to request an appeal to allow me to edit this page. What do I need to do to accomplish that? Infoserv2023 (talk) 13:51, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are being paid to do work for the OSBI, and that work includes updating the article. That *is* being paid for updating the article. You must make a formal disclosure. via WP:PAID. - UtherSRG (talk) 13:55, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
So if I do that then I can be unblocked? Infoserv2023 (talk) 13:56, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict)
I,m sorry, UtherSRG, I only registered that it was a soft block, and did not realize that the Infoserv(e) part of the name could be considered inappropriate too. I never saw Yamla's message, I made my rename from the Global rename request queue. I'm sorry for my mistake, but I don't see what to do about it; reverting the name change wouldn't help much, "OSBIwebmaster" isn't any better. I apologize for the mess I caused. / Ternarius (talk) 14:03, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Ternarius There's a subsequent request above to change the username to "Jules at OSBI". - UtherSRG (talk) 14:08, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
We're working out your name change. That's what's holding up the unblock. However, you *must* comply with WP:PAID once the block is lifted. Failure to do so will be grounds to block you again. - UtherSRG (talk) 14:09, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I will make sure to do so. Thank you for your consideration. Infoserv2023 (talk) 14:10, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Control copyright icon Hello Jules at OSBI! Your additions to Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 14:43, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am so confused. I was told to post the PAID statement, which I did and I could post. I'm unclear as to what you think is copyrighted material? I wrote that material to describe what the Information Technology division of the OSBI does in addition changing some wording on CHMU and DSU sections. Please advise.

Thanks, I'll write something else. I was told by IT that is was original and that is why I wrote it there. Jules at OSBI (talk) 15:11, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
