Request reason:

I wish to contribute to technical subjects that involve MySQL and related web technologies Lemonrock (talk) 08:22, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I have renamed your account, and unblocked you on the basis of the discussion below. Welcome back! DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:37, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

You were blocked 15 years ago; I'm amazed you remembered the password. Any particular reason you waited this long to request unblock? 331dot (talk) 09:20, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

I've been using Wikipedia for many years, and am a regular financial contributor. I want to help others like they have helped me. Also, I used to use the same password everywhere 15 years ago. I've changed. And so has the password. Lemonrock (talk) 09:24, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Is the Macmaclaren account also yours? And/or do you have other accounts? -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:41, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

That is possible. I often use macmaclaren as a username. If the domain is lemonrock.com or hitechcomms.co.uk it will be me. I don't need more than one account so you can delete those, or tell me how to. Lemonrock (talk) 09:43, 22 October 2025 (UTC)

Okay, I'm prepared to rename you and unblock you, if you agree to only use this user account going forward. You also must not edit on any subject, including but not only Lemonrock, in which you have a conflict of interest, without disclosing that first. If you wish to create new articles on such subjects, you must create them in the draft space (see WP:YFA) and put them through the AfC review process rather than publishing them yourself. Please state clearly whether you agree. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 07:23, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I agree. Thank you. Lemonrock (talk) 09:32, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Macdarlo. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

• avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
• propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the Edit Request Wizard), including links or details of reliable sources that support your suggestions;
• disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
• avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
• do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicizing, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:37, 23 October 2025 (UTC)

The above is just FYI. -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 09:38, 23 October 2025 (UTC)
