You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines.

If you believe that there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 22:59, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My recent sandbox entry was something I was working on and understand that it needed improvements due to the original article removal. How am I meant to work on perfecting my article in Sandbox before moving to mainspace if it is deleted in from Sandbox and then I am blocked indefinitely? I am genuinely trying to contribute to Wikipedia and have also donated on several occasions. I understand my first article needed work and therefore I started again in Sandbox for the next one. If I have unintentionally done something wrong in Sandbox I apologies but I understood I had not moved anything to the mainspace so not sure why the new article attempt was deleted when it was not finished and now I am blocked.

Hello Embrace.photo,

We in the the volunteer community are not interested in whether someone donates to the Wikimedia Foundation or not. We are also not interested in self-promotion.

Is there anything else than yourself you're interested in editing Wikipedia about?

Best regards,

My recent sandbox entry was something I was working on, and I understand that it needed improvements due to the original article removal. How am I meant to work on perfecting my article in Sandbox before moving to mainspace if it is deleted in from Sandbox and then I am blocked indefinitely? I am genuinely trying to contribute to Wikipedia. I understand my first article needed work and therefore I started again in Sandbox for the next one. If I have unintentionally done something wrong in Sandbox I apologise but I understood I had not moved anything to the mainspace so not sure why the new article attempt in Sandbox only was deleted when it was not finished and now I am blocked. Also, you ask what else I am interested in editing "rather than myself", I find this approach and tone unprofessional and would like this escalated to your manager. I am genuine person trying to contribute and at the same time looking to create an article to add to the 'encyclopaedia' in line with contribution to photography and help the community based on the top search for my work being 'Ante Badzim Wikipedia' and counter misinformation and ensure true information is out there relating to my influence and public identity — Preceding unsigned comment added by Embrace.photo (talk • contribs) .

Not every comment needs to be an unblock request. We don't have "managers" or higher authorities here; this is a volunteer, decentralized community project, not a business. I think that you misunderstand what it is we do here. Wikipedia is not a place for people to tell about themselves. Please read the autobiography policy. Frankly we have no interest in enhancing search results for you. You should use verified social media accounts to counter misinformation about you. Wikipedia articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the subject, and they summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the topic, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of notability, like a notable creative professional.

An article about yourself is not necessarily desirable. They can be used to spread misinformation, instead of countering it(even if that information is removed). If reliable sources report that you do something bad, that is valid article content, you cannot lock an article about you to say only what you want.

We're asking what else you want to edit about so you can build up an edit history demonstrating that you understand relevant Wikipedia policies. We want to see that before we permit you to edit about yourself- which is highly discouraged. 331dot (talk) 08:21, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand. My intentions may have been lost in communication so far. I am genuinely looking to contribute more, primarily through the use of my significant photography portfolio to enhance articles such as locations with high-quality and up-to-date imagery I have captured. I am still navigating and learning how to use Wikipedia in line with functions, guidelines and policy. I recently completed online training to contribute and create articles on Wikipedia. I may have made some mistakes along the way with my initial attempts. I also appreciate the comments about 'autobiography'. I intended to create an article in the same vein as my photography colleagues, who have done so successfully with less notoriety. I now understand that these examples are uncommon and typically done by editors unconnected with the subject. I apologise for unintentionally breaching any policy or activity that has come across as spam. I hope my account will be considered to be unblocked. If not, I have learnt and respect the decision. Take care. Embrace.photo (talk) 09:04, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

We call it "notability", not "notoriety"(which often has a more negative connotation).

Almost all articles are written by independent editors. It is rare for someone to succeed at writing an article about themselves. In my many years here I've personally never seen it happen successfully, though it probably has. The point is that it's very rare. Are you the rare person who could do it? Maybe, but the odds are heavily against it.

It could also be that these other articles about your colleagues are also inappropriate and have just not yet been addressed yet by volunteers; each article is considered on its own merits(see other stuff exists). There are many ways to get inapproprate articles past us; they were created in the early days of Wikipedia before current standards; the submission process is relatively new as well, etc. Other inappropriate articles existing cannot justify adding more inappropriate articles, otherwise nothing could ever be removed from Wikipedia. If you want to identify these articles I could evaluate them(I'm guessing you don't want to do that and risk getting your colleagues articles marked as problematic or deleted, and I wouldn't blame you, just saying).

In any event, if you want to add images to articles, I would be willing to unblock you if you agree to not attempt to create an article about yourself, at least until you have more experience. If you want to release your images to be able to be used by anyone for any purpose(including commercial) with attribution, you may upload them to Commons(where you are not blocked). 331dot (talk) 09:52, 29 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was meant to read ‘notability’ but autocorrect jumped in. Yes, I agree to avoid writting articles on myself. Thank you. Embrace.photo (talk) 05:20, 30 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
