  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Reem Acra. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. Bbb23 (talk) 23:40, 2 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

@TaraDan95, I now understand you're a student participating in a course program. Based on your edits to the Acra article, I think you should stick to the sandbox rather than the article itself. There are two principal problems with your edits. The first is close paraphasing, which is a no-no at Wikipedia as it can be construed as a copyright violation. The second is the words themselves, which are way too promotion. Wikipedia articles must be written in a detached, encyclopedic style, not like an advertisement or a fan page. If you have questions, let me know. You can do so here. I'm watching your talk page. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:18, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
You're not paying attention. Student or not, next time you add the material to the Acra page, you risk being blocked.--Bbb23 (talk) 00:40, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 12 hours for edit warring, WP:PARAPHRASE, and blatantly promotional edits at Reem Acra. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Bbb23 (talk) 01:02, 3 April 2014 (UTC)Reply
