User talk:BonessAthletic

Welcome!
Hello, BonessAthletic, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

 * Hi, I see my account has been indefinitely blocked with reason : been used for advertising or promotion
 * I set up the account username: BonessAthletic a few weeks ago as I work for the club and the club secretary asked me if I could create a Wiki page for the club to provide information to the public.
 * For the past few weeks I have been adding to it in the sandbox environment as I wanted to get it right before publishing it live.In fact I was hoping to do that over the next few days.
 * The wiki page I create is about the football club Bo’ness Athletic, it wasn't set up for any kind of advertising or promotion, only to give information to anyone wanting to know about the club. The club is first and foremost a football team which comes under the banner of Football Club: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Football_club_(association_football)
 * It plays in the East of Scotland Football League system :
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_of_Scotland_Football_League
 * Which, if you visit the above link, you will see that it is one of the very few clubs that doesn't have its own Wiki page.
 * There must be tens of thousands of football clubs on Wikipedia and we are only looking to list the club on Wikipedia in exactly the same way.
 * Here are some examples of other club’s wiki pages:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liverpool_F.C.
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_fc
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo%27ness_United_F.C.
 * Would it be possible to get the sandbox back so I can continue to work on the Wiki page for Boness Athletic?

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 09:11, 26 July 2023 (UTC)

 * To make an unblock request for someone else to review, please follow the instructions in the notice above. You will need to make a request that proposes a new username.
 * You have a fundamental misunderstanding as to what Wikipedia is and what we do here. When you say you want to "only to give information to anyone wanting to know about the club", that is considered promotional here. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves and what they do. Wikipedia does not merely provide information; it summarizes what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about(in this case) an organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. Wikipedia is not interested in what an organization says about itself, only in what independent sources choose on their own to say about it. Articles here are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the subject.
 * Beware in citing other similar articles as a reason for yours. These could also be problematic and you would be unaware of this. As this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible for inappropriate content to get by us. We can only address what we know about. If you want to use other articles as an example or model, use those classified as good articles. 331dot (talk) 15:06, 1 August 2023 (UTC)
