March 2014 edit

 

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a message letting you know that one or more of your recent edits to Anthony James (artist) has been undone by an automated computer program called ClueBot NG.

Your edits were largely unsourced and (as well as removing a link from a rival gallery) added an external link to your gallery website. Additions need to be reliably sourced. However, I notice you found a Forbes news article, which looks very useful. If someone else doesn't do so I'll try and incorporate some of it into the article, using it as an inline citation.
In the meantime, if you are a representative of James you may want to read Wikipedia's conflict of interest guidelines. Sionk (talk) 12:42, 26 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
I've removed your recent additions to Anthony James (artist) because they were largely a copy-paste from James' biography, or purely to promote an exhibition at your gallery. Wikipedia isn't a place for promotion or copy-pasting, I'm afraid. Sionk (talk) 14:21, 29 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

April 2014 edit

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Anthony James (artist). While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. You again copypasted promotional material from a press release and added an external link to your gallery website. Please don't do this. Sionk (talk) 21:35, 6 April 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.
Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

  • Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
  • Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
  • Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
    • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
    • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
