 * Hey,
 * I'm a student at the University of British Columbia, and we are writing articles about women in architecture. As a class, we are also encouraged to add/ edit/ build upon each other's work to strengthen our articles.  I wasn't editing my article earlier, but one my my classmates did, and I don't understand why we are both being blocked for helping each other improve/ strengthen our article.

 * Your sandboxes are far too promotional to exist on Wikipedia, and your edits spill over into existing articles where you add promotional material. Both of your sandboxes were deleted once, and you ignored discussing with anyone why, but, instead, just recreated them. Students in Canada must register their assignments with the Wiki Education Foundation; yet, I see no evidence of that having been done.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:21, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * In the short time that we have for this class (summer term), we were not able to register with the Wiki Education Foundation. Can you explain where you find promotional materials on my article? The first time I created my sandbox, I wasn't aware of the limits set by wikipedia in terms of reference materials, so in my second attempt to write the same article, I believe I have only used scholarly references. AAASloth (talk) 18:31, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * What other students are there besides you and ?--Bbb23 (talk) 18:34, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * We are a class of about 30 students who are trying to write women into the architecture canon. Our professor had contacted wikipedia education but was told that they don't run in the summer.
 * I am not at all affiliated with any of these women and/or their works. My goal is to create visibility for women in architecture. I would be grateful to know where my articles have gone wrong so I could change it out of a publicity tone, and therefore contribute to the platform.  AAASloth (talk) 18:53, 27 July 2023 (UTC)


 * , perhaps you could look at this and offer some advice. Thanks.--Bbb23 (talk) 18:52, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hello again,
 * If you can kindly allow me to explain myself regarding the first two sandboxes I created which were both deleted, and which I ignored discussing with anyone why and just recreated.
 * As a first time user, I should have read the terms set forth by wikipedia. I acknowledge that I failed to do this, leading to my account deletion for using promotional references/materials. After that deletion, I thought that by simply correcting my mistakes and using credible/ scholarly references to improve my article, I can just re-do everything in my sandbox and see if your moderators will approve my second attempt. Since it has been a week that my second versions were published on my sandboxes, I assumed these were already up to the standards of wikipedia and so I continued to build on it.
 * This week, we are starting to work in groups to help each other refine our articles to be worthy of publication. We were thinking we could just send each other links to our sandboxes and edit from there. This led to my account being suspended for being a sockpuppet.
 * I now understand why we should not have edited each other’s sandboxes so that there won’t be any suspections of using multiple accounts to promote an article.
 * Moving forward, I am sincerely asking you to reconsider unblocking my account as well as my classmates’. Again, my only intent is to contribute to wikipedia’s repository in the aspect of women in the field of architecture; and I will strive to improve my articles to meet wikipedia’s policy and standards as I do so. Thank you!!! AAASloth (talk) 20:02, 27 July 2023 (UTC)
 * Hi @AAASloth. Can you ask your instructor to get in touch with my colleague Helaine (helaine@undefinedwikiedu.org) for some help getting this assignment back on track. Ian (Wiki Ed) (talk) 14:49, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
