Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. 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, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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. See WP:FAQ/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 again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on 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.

Requested username:

WeightLifter47 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that my former username was directed towards biased self-promotional purposes. Towards this end, I will use my new username, if approved, to write objective pieces about issues and entities in the current fitness industry.

Decline reason:

Per your comments below, it appears that your intention is still to contravene our guidelines on conflicts of interest to promote your company. Danger ^{High voltage!} 20:41, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Your first edit was to promote your product. Do you understand that you will not be able to promote your product, even if you change your name? Could you give a specific example of a constructive and non-promotional edit that you would like to make? Danger ^{High voltage!} 20:05, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

I would want to give an unbiased chronological history detailing the evolution of the Muscle Beach brand. I would also like to discuss its corporate information (owners, worth, etc.).

I am not trying to promote my company because it is not my company. I am a writer who is attempting to write an article about Muscle Beach Product Licensing and, for the sake of convenience, wrongly used "Muscle Beach Product Licensing" as the user name when I created my Wikipedia Account. I thought also that, if I wanted to write more articles pertaining to the brand, the name could serve as a capable umbrella term for all my Wikipedia contributions. I never set out to write anything biased, although my user name certainly conveys the assumption that I wanted to do so. I erred because I used a convenient user name that violated your username policies, and I recognize now that what I did was, however inadvertently, wrong. As an independent party, I wish to write about Muscle Beach Product Licensing and possibly other lifestyle fitness brands.

Okay. Here are the conditions to show that you are here to contribute:

• Read our guide to improving articles
• Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
  • If you have trouble choosing an article to improve, see this index of articles needing improvement for ideas.
• Click the Edit tab at the top of that article and scroll down past the message informing you of your block.
• Copy the source of that article and paste it to the bottom of your talk page under a new top-level heading (like this: = [[Article title]] =) and save the page before you improve it.
• Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
• When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
  • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{helpme|your question here}}" to your talk page. Danger ^{High voltage!} 21:49, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

The Clermont State Historic Site, also known as the Clermont estate, the Clermont Manor or just Clermont, is a New York State Historic Site in southwestern Columbia County, New York, USA. It protects the former estate of the Livingston family, seven generations of whom lived on the site during more than two centuries.

History

The name Clermont derives from "clear mountain" in French and was inspired by the view of the Catskill Mountains across the Hudson River from the estate.

View of Catskills and Hudson from estate

The estate was established by Robert Livingston following the death of his father, the first Lord of Livingston Manor, in 1728; while most of the manor was inherited by the eldest son Philip Livingston, 13,000 acres (5,300 ha) in the southwest corner, later named Clermont, was willed to Robert.

In October 1777, British Major General John Vaughan, who led a raiding party up the Hudson River, came to Clermont and burned Livingston's home because of his prominent role in the American Revolution. Margaret Beekman Livingston rebuilt the family home between 1779 and 1782. Her son Robert R. Livingston became the estate's most prominent resident, serving as a member of the committee that drafted the Declaration of Independence, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, and negotiator of the Louisiana Purchase.

In 1807, Livingston was a partner with Robert Fulton, creating the first commercially successful steamboat on the Hudson river, the North River Steamboat (later known as the Clermont), which stopped at the house on its inaugural trip.

The house is now a New York State Historic Site and was designated a United States National Historic Landmark in 1972., It is a contributing property to another National Historic Landmark, the Hudson River Historic District.

Although located in the town of Clermont, its mailing address is in the nearby town of Germantown.

Clermont is host to a number of public events throughout the year, including the Sheep & Wool Showcase in late-April and a Fourth of July day in the summer. Most of these events are sponsored by the Friends of Clermont, a non-profit organization which raises membership funds to support a variety of educational programs at the Clermont site. The Friends of Clermont has an office in the Clermont manor; its current president is Tracie Rozhon.
