 * What edits do you want to make, if unblocked? PhilKnight (talk) 20:52, 11 May 2023 (UTC)


 * I would strip most of the existing Clean Miami Beach article, for one. I would initially edit to simplify the page in attempt to keep info direct and digestible. I would include the organization's logo (pending it qualifies as acceptable). I would utilize the provided templates for easier presentation of intended information and citation, while also referring to online tutorials that have already proved useful and clarifying. I would continue to assess any other areas where improvement can be made, and welcome any feedback! Clean Miami Beach (talk) 21:05, 11 May 2023 (UTC)


 * No article exists for this topic. If you were referring to your draft article, it has already been deleted.
 * Wikipedia is not a directory, so an organization is not entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists or because it might be a worthy cause. All topics must be notable by Wikipedia's definition to merit inclusion. In the specific case of an organization, it must meet the notability criteria for companies and organizations. For this to happen, the organization must have already received significant coverage in multiple reliable and independent sources. We have no interest in what an organization wishes to say about itself, as this is an inherent conflict of interest.
 * I am not certain if you precisely fit Wikipedia's definition of a paid editor. However it is a concern when someone does receive financial compensation from the subject they write about. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 21:24, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I understand, and appreciate the clarity of what Wikipedia is and is not. As a nonprofit with clear coverage from outside, independent, and reliable entities (like proclamations from city's and officials, institutional acknowledgments, and more) it appears to me that Clean Miami Beach would be considered notable and with merit for inclusion, just as a group like the Surfrider Foundation is (their page seems an example of a successful article of the like). With a renewed opportunity to contribute, I would certainly reference this 'environmental' 'community' topic with more diligence.
 * My compensation with them remains what I'd say is distant from this effort - pay for 3 hours of community service involvement is distinct from Wikipedia's definition of paid editor, I am not "contributing to Wikipedia in exchange for money or other inducements". This is a separate, personal contribution. A request to change username and unblock my IP is my main hope. All the while learning about and navigating Wikipedia has given me insight and appreciation for the work that goes into reviewing these entries and holding edits accountable. Clean Miami Beach (talk) 21:54, 11 May 2023 (UTC)
 * When an account is blocked, the underlying IP is blocked to prevent block evasion. Since you have an account, you can just focus on your account. The block on the underlying IP will be removed when the block on the account is removed.
 * Wikipedia is not a mere online registry. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion; for organizations, that may be found at WP:ORG.
 * Proclamations and institutional acknowledgements are primary sources, not significant coverage by independent reliable sources. Beware in citing other articles as a reason for yours to exist- it could be that these other articles are also problematic but simply not addressed yet, and you would be unaware of this. See WP:OSE. If you want to use other articles as a model, use those classified as good articles.
 * On Wikipedia the spirit of a rule matters more than the letter of the rule. You don't have to be specifically asked to edit or specifically paid to make edits to be a paid editor(otherwise every paid editor would say that they weren't specifically paid to make edits). Any form of compensation from an article subject you write about should be disclosed. Is your only interest here in writing about your organization, or are there other topics you might edit about? 331dot (talk) 01:31, 12 May 2023 (UTC)
 * I have reviewed the criteria for inclusion for organizations, WP:ORG, and have more clarity now for what may be characterized as notable and reliable sources that provide credibility. I understand the level of diligence required for creating a topic and editing an entry, where there is a deep level of attention to detail involved. If given the opportunity, I would certainly reference other good articles mentioned above - a page that Clean Miami Beach would follow would be similar to that of Surfrider Foundation.
 * In addition to the above mentioned topic, I would hope to contribute to other environmental topics as they emerge and expand in our culture. These include topic entries such as Aspen Ideas: Climate Conference, Bye Bye Plastic, Ocean Recovery Group, and others. As I continue to refine my understanding of the expectations of Wikipedia and apply these in action, I believe these pages will take form in accordance to Wikipedia's 'spirit of rule'.
