What is your association with The Edison Singers? 331dot (talk) 20:31, 23 October 2020 (UTC)

My title is Executive Director but it is a volunteer position at the moment. The Edison Singers is a non-profit organization, soon to be charitable. I am also a professional singer but not much work these days. I do bookkeeping for a number of clients. Additionally, in the past, I have worked for the Elora BIA; music librarian at Wilfrid Laurier university; Business Representative for Canadian Actors Equity; summer teacher for the Toronto Board of Education; and many other positions.
 * Please review the conflict of interest policy and describe how you will contribute consistent with that policy, as well as any other topics you might edit about that are unrelated to your conflict of interest. 331dot (talk) 08:18, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

My professional performing and Arts Administration career has spanned more than 40 years. During that time I have gained quite a bit of knowledge on classical music and many other subjects. I have earned 2 degrees. One of which is in music and the other in Psychology. Now that my main paid working life is slowing down, I would like to share some of my knowledge and research with the broader public, many of whom, including myself, go to wiki for information. I do not wish to edit Wikipedia in my own interest, nor in the interests of my external relationships. I only want to help clarify, correct and hopefully contribute a full article someday about... I'm not sure yet. I have many areas of interest. However, to start, I thought I would just edit or suggest edits on pages that I see may need it. One example is about the town of Elora and the citizens coalition in their fight against the Casino. It looks like a citation is needed for one of the statements and I think I have found one that is still available online which could be added. This would not promote myself or any external relationship. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 167.100.66.139 (talk) 21:40, 24 October 2020 (UTC)

Thank you but when I signed in today it is still blocked. It looks like another user re-blocked it. How does that happen? Beulahland1927 (talk) 14:31, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No; you've only been blocked once. At no point was the block lifted. You can see your block log here. I declined your unblock request; that's not the same as reimposing your block. --Yamla (talk) 17:10, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

So the user name was changed but the account is still blocked?

If you read my full talk page you would see that I have many interests. However, It seems that even giving examples of my other interests could be viewed as self-promotion. As a newbie it is very difficult to know what not to say. On my first edit I had wanted to update and correct some information that I can now see might appear as a conflict of interest or promotional but it seemed inline with what was already on the page. I would like the opportunity to continue with the edit and work on some other pages that I have been reading which I might notice need to be cited/corrected/added to.... I would also change the email associated with my current account, if that would help. Please let me know what you think. In the meantime I will continue to read all of the Wikipedia policies.

Thank you.
