Replacing a Wikipedia article

[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, Intersection4theArts. It is not generally a good idea for newcomers to Wikipedia to try to create a new article straight away, or – what is equivalent – to completely or largely overwrite an existing article with a new version of your own, as you did at Intersection for the Arts. Unfortunately, I found that your version of this article was not an improvement.

Changes to articles need to adhere to our policies on neutrality and verifiability. Relevant content and references to independent sources should be kept, and any additional information should also be supported by such references. Finally, editors should have a basic knowledge of standard formats used here, which make an article readable and display its connections to other articles.

Before attempting any further large-scale editing I recommend you read Introduction and How to edit, and perhaps work through the Tutorial, to learn more about what is expected of editors.

The other point is that if you have any connection to Intersection for the Arts, you must declare this fact as described in our conflict of interest policy and should refrain from any further edits to that article, more than minor adjustments. Expanded material may be proposed on the article's talk page, but please be sure to cite your sources. Thank you : Bhunacat10 (talk), 08:47, 24 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:

  • 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.
  • 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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.
