Hi. Thanks for your edits. However much of what you've done has been "copy and paste" from the Touro Synagogue website https://tourosynagogue.com. Don't do that. See Non-free content, NPOV. Wikipedia should not be a copy of the website; it should be an encyclopedia article - not written in first person (eg talking about the synagogue as "our"). If you have questions about using Wikipedia you can't find an answer to, ask. Cheers, -- Infrogmation (talk) 23:09, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

August 2019
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 20:06, 10 August 2019 (UTC)

New Username

 * Please explain "we". How many people have access to this account? You can request a change of username via Special:GlobalRenameRequest; the new username seems acceptable to me, but shared use of Wikipedia accounts is not permitted, so we'll need to have this clarified.

 * I will rename.--  Dloh cier  ekim    19:07, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Probably, per WP:COI and WP:PAID, you would need to suggest edits rather than editing directly.--  Dloh cier  ekim    19:24, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

globally renamed Touro Synagogue New Orleans to Anna Touro NOLA. However, the software has locked up. I will make inquiries.--  Dloh cier  ekim    19:11, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the hang up. Hopefully the developers or whoever can unstick the thing.--  Dloh cier  ekim    19:15, 13 August 2019 (UTC)
 * Ah, there it is.--  Dloh cier  ekim    19:22, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

How do I remove a block?
I used the term "We" because I work Touro and I'm posting to Wikipedia as Touro's voice.. essentially just wanted to share our universal history page for the sake of simplicity. We can rewrite something strictly for Wikipedia if that's necessary.
 * If you work for Touro and are editing Wikipedia as part of your job, you need to specifically disclose that you are a paid editor of Wikipedia; the easiest way to do that is to make use of Template:Paid; the template page has code you can copy-paste to your user page and fill out appropriately. Please note that Wikipedia does not allow "organization" accounts; this is your account, and it may not be shared with other people at Touro, not even if you were to stop working for them.
 * Wikipedia content should be a summary of what reliable third-party sources have reported about the subject - summarized in our own words. Touro's own website is not a third-party source, and copy-pasting content from elsewhere is a copyright nightmare. Besides, the synagogue's "about us" is page is written in a tone that would be unsuitable for Wikipedia even if the copyright issues were resolved. Huon (talk) 20:12, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
