Hello, I'm Spf121188. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions&#32;to Reed Gusciora have been undone because they did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use your sandbox. If you have any questions, you can ask for assistance at the Teahouse or the Help desk. Thanks.

Your recent editing history at Reed Gusciora shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you do not violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. 331dot (talk) 13:22, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Reed Gusciora, and I noticed that your username, "Capitalcitytrenton", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. Alternatively, you can just create a new account and use that for editing. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 13:16, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * The name does not represent the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. The name is 'capitalcitytrenton,' and neither 'capitalcity' nor 'capital' nor 'city' nor 'trenton' on their own or jointly constitutes a reason to remove this name. The burden of proof for making this justification lies with the person making the claim; it is not prima facie clear how this username is somehow related to a group, product, or service. Capitalcitytrenton (talk) 13:48, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Your name, combined with your edits and the image, suggest you represent either the Mayor of Trenton or the city government, which is a group. 331dot (talk) 13:58, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Image
The information with the image says that it is your own work. It looks very professionally done- did you take the image? 331dot (talk) 13:17, 19 August 2022 (UTC)


 * Yes (see further information about the camera type on Commons). It is unclear why this photo is being removed repeatedly. I am not familiar with Wikipedia editing and would like this photo (in the public domain) which I took to remain on this page. Capitalcitytrenton (talk) 13:44, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * As I note below, not all publicly owned images are in the public domain. That's only true of images taken by the US federal government. States are different depending on the state, but the majority do not permit publicly owned images to be in the public domain.  It depends on the laws of New Jersey.  There are several other issues here that need to be addressed, please see the notice below and follow the instructions. 331dot (talk) 13:47, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I am in the United States and I took this photo and I explicitly donated this work into the public domain. "In some jurisdictions (like the United States), one can also explicitly donate work one has created oneself to the public domain" (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Licensing#Material_in_the_public_domain). What else do you need to know to restore my change? Capitalcitytrenton (talk) 13:57, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * If you took it as a city employee, the copyright is not yours to give away. 331dot (talk) 13:59, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I was not a city employee at the time this photo was taken, nor do I currently represent the City of Trenton. Capitalcitytrenton (talk) 14:03, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * In any event, to be unblocked, please follow the instructions in the block notice. 331dot (talk) 14:05, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * This has been completed. Thank you. Capitalcitytrenton (talk) 14:34, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Yes, a heretofore uninvolved administrator will eventually review your request. 331dot (talk) 14:35, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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. In your reasons, you must: 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) 13:28, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
 * 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.

The block is also for edit warring. There are also answers we need about the image. 331dot (talk) 13:29, 19 August 2022 (UTC)

Not all publicly owned images are in the public domain; it depends on the laws of (in this case) New Jersey. Only images produced by the US federal government are public domain, generally. 331dot (talk) 13:31, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
