User talk:Ataylorstudios222

Welcome!
Hello, Ataylorstudios222, and welcome to Wikipedia!&#32;Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Plus-size model, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article.&#32;Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Grayfell (talk) 23:28, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

October 2019
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 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 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.

Discrepancy
I am very new to editing on Wikipedia & only did so because factual information was neglected to be shared on the Plus Size Model topic. An article (19) attached to the post as a reference will prove the validity of my contribution. There is no gain or promotion involved in this very small edit, however, I don’t think it’s fair to drop names of so many other women involved in the early years of the Plus Size Model industry while casually neglecting to name the winner of the model search continuously discussed in the feature. In fact, the winner was an 18 year old young woman of color from Lexington, KY ~ Angelia Taylor. It’s interesting how so many other pivotal names are mentioned but not the African-American who actually won the first major plus size model competition. I may not know all the Wikipedia protocol, but deleting my factual contribution, blocking my account & accusing me of some promotional gain seem really extreme, the fact I’m only trying to provide facts.

 * You cannot add content about Angelia Taylor using an account called Ataylorstudios222. Although you may not recognize it, experienced Wikipedia editors see that as obviously promotional. Plus, the account name implies shared usage, which is also against policy. Please follow the unblock instructions above. Cullen328  Let's discuss it  20:14, 20 October 2019 (UTC)

Thank you
I appreciate your clarification. Again, I’m new to editing on Wikipedia and did not do so with any malice intent, only to contribute factual information. Thank you Ataylorstudios222 (talk) 20:27, 20 October 2019 (UTC)
 * You were informed of the possible WP:COI issue by user:Grayfell after your first edits two weeks ago. He or she did not remove your contributions. After you returned to the same article without having discussed the apparent COI, I removed the material and reported your username. The article says the company was involved in multiple talent searches, but your edit  refers to only one  such search, with a winner that appears to be related to your user name. So, a single purpose account, with an apparent conflict of interest,  a promotional user name, and a shared use account name. I'm not giving the benefit of the to a somewhat promotional edit.

You are misinformed
I didn’t accuse anyone of removing the information I added so I’m not sure what your issue is, but the model search conducted in summer of 1984 by Big Beauties i NYC was what I contributed to. There was one winner of THAT model search & I contributed factual information to that topic. The contest was won by an 18 year old African American woman Angelia Taylor, yet there is no mention of her. I’m really not sure what your issue or point is with someone simply providing factual information. I thought Wikipedia was a community oriented platform not a place where certain users can discriminate against others based on the fact they take issue with their factual contributions.
