Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire

edit

Hey. A large portion of your latest edit to this article turns it into an advertisement of sorts, which is against Wiki policy. Articles are supposed to present material with a neutral tone, and I think your last edit doesn't really keep to that. I'm going to cut it down and the next few days if I have time. One other thing: when you add material to Wikipedia, it should really be sourced by reliable sources. Newspapers, magazines, things like that. If you could find some sources to back up your additions to the article, that'd be great. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 22:20, 28 July 2009 (UTC)Reply

Oh, come on. I spent the past hour reworking that text, and then you blank it. Could you at least explain why? — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:22, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
After looking over your edits, I noticed that much of your information was incorrect. Other than the Swashbuckler website your sources were over 5 years old and are no longer accurate. Rather than posting incorrect information, the most beneficial thing for all parties would be to have only the bare facts and a link to the PRF's website.Crimmels (talk) 15:32, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply
Okay, look. Stop blanking the page - it's vandalism. Discuss your edits on the talk page. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:34, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

File Copyright problem

Thank you for uploading File:Ultimate Joust.jpg. However, it currently is missing information on its copyright status. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their license and tagged them, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link.

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask them at the media copyright questions page. Thanks again for your cooperation. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 14:14, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

File permission problem with File:Ultimate Joust.jpg

File Copyright problem

Thanks for uploading File:Ultimate Joust.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following this link. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 15:02, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you use Wikipedia for advertising, as you did with Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, you will be blocked from editing. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:53, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been temporarily blocked from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for abuse of editing privileges. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I've been trying to edit the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire page, and the user who decided to change my edits decided to block me rather than work with me to fix the page

Decline reason:

Not so. You were blocked by User:Toddst1, who has no edits to the page in question. --jpgordon::==( o ) 17:05, 4 August 2009 (UTC)Reply


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.

I had been watching this develop for awhile. While I'm not sure I agree with the block, I do see that you are trying to develop this page without a full understanding of Wikipedia's policies - namely, our policies of neutrality and verification. Also, our guideline regarding conflict of interest is applicable here, as you are an employee of this organization. I think you could be unblocked and allowed to edit if you show us full understanding of the above linked policies/guidelines, and can explain why your edits and preferred article versions were inappropriate for an encyclopedia.
