Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

  • Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
  • Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
  • Provide a new username.

To do this, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot ( talk) 12:27, 29 November 2023 (UTC) reply

What is your relationship to the club? PhilKnight ( talk) 13:05, 29 November 2023 (UTC) reply

I am an employee and member of the club. We do provide event services, however i did not mention that at all. I used the same verbiage that is used as a source for the current wiki page. i was hoping to just expand the history and add pictures of the founder. I am unsure if this is not allowed. Thank you for your consideration. WomansClubOfWinterPark ( talk) 12:29, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
You need to make a paid declaration, and you also need to read conflict of interest. You should not be editing the article directly, but making edit requests instead. PhilKnight ( talk) 16:42, 5 December 2023 (UTC) reply
Thank you for clarifying. I underestimated what was involved in updating the information of our club. I need to make a paid declaration of my employment and membership. Also, i need to use the suggest an edit template, so the edits can be verified and reviewed before being published. Is there an additional process i must undergo to have this account unblocked?

No, you seem to grasp what is required. PhilKnight ( talk) 20:30, 10 December 2023 (UTC) reply


@ 331dot: - would you object to an unblock? PhilKnight ( talk) 20:30, 10 December 2023 (UTC) reply

PhilKnight I'm okay with it if you are. I would just want to emphasize that the main purpose of the article about the club is to summarize what independent reliable sources say is the history of the club, not what the club says is its own history. 331dot ( talk) 20:55, 10 December 2023 (UTC) reply
