 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 gives the impression 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.

 * 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.

 * 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.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it is simply the starting point where information relating to the education activities and social/community engagement is documented to accurately describe how as a new institution we aim to be different from the outset. The page is just a starting point outlining who Gates Museum is and why it has been established. We are an experimental cultural/social capitol organization that is attempting to re-define the role of 'museum' in a post modern environment dominated by the ever-present 'internet'. We are attempting to break the mold from the beginning by establishing a community based space where social cross generational interactions are at the center. We combine seamlessly the 'real world' space with our 'virtual' space combining the benefits of localism with globalism in terms of reach and presence. Our goal here on wikipedia is to document the development and evolution of our cultural project in the best public forum available namely wikipedia. We welcome any help, guidance and advice available on how best to make use of the wikipedia platform as total novices in this space as a contributor/editor. We are always happy to be advised on how to improve and learn. Thank you Gatesmuseum (talk) 11:30, 12 September 2023 (UTC)


 * ...describe how as a new institution we aim to be different from the outset. In other words, your aim is to promote the museum. Both the deletion and block are in order. —C.Fred (talk) 11:31, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I clearly do not understand how to express our intentions on the wikipedia platform. We definitely aim to be different as a heritage institution by attempting to break the mold from the beginning by establishing a community based space where social cross generational interactions are at the center. Our whole emphasis is based on activity not objects despite being a venue that houses a significant collection of historic objects. We see the collection as the catalyst for the social interactivity we aim to engender. Through this process of cross generational interaction we hope to not only act as a conduit for the passing on of knowledge and experience but also building social capitol of real and lasting value within the community. Our museum is about people and their experience as much as it's collection. We have been in direct contact with many other established museums during our development phase who validate our new and unique model. Thank you Gatesmuseum (talk) 11:50, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
 * In all bluntness, none of you at the museum should be attempting to to do anything with respect to the museum on Wikipedia. Your conflicts of interest prevent you from maintain the proper neutral point of view. Once the museum is significant and notable enough to get coverage in independent reliable sources, then independent editors will write an article about it. —C.Fred (talk) 11:54, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
