Speedy deletion nomination of User:Museumdg

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Museumdg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from https://www.noel.alsace/234011268-museum-dan-gerbo-contemporary-art/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Ae245 (talk) 10:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it 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 follow all these steps:

1. Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
2. 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
3. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
4. Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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 search to 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 still available.

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. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 10:34, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

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:

We are employees of the museum the wikipedia page is about, we copied/pasted texts we provided to websites to talk about our own museum. The wikipedia page isn't written against financial compensation, it's not promotion but a way to make our museum more legitimate by having a wikipedia page Museumdg (talk) 10:58, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You need to designate a single person to exclusively operate this account and give no one else access. Others at your organization will need their own accounts(though they should not create them until this block is removed). Wikipedia is not intended to confer legitimacy upon organizations, and Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves and what they do. Wikipedia articles summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Please read conflict of interest and paid editing(which includes employment or even volunteer work put on a resume). You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your museum. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you want to be a more general contributor and edit about topics for which you have no conflict of interest, please tell what those might be in your next request. 331dot (talk) 17:13, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

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.

"Making our museum more legitimate" is literally what promotion is. And, again, businesses and organizations, whether profit or non-profit, are not allowed to have English Wikipedia accounts. There is also no "we" in Wikipedia accounts as all accounts may only be connected with a single person and may not even give the appearance of being connected with a business or organization.

CoffeeCrumbs A business/organization name may be a portion of a username, such as "JohnDoe of XYZ corp". 331dot (talk) 17:08, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

True, but that's still individually a person. Though thanks for clarifying it as I should have. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 22:14, 14 July 2024 (UTC)
