User talk:HalesGallery

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, HalesGallery, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Daniel Case (talk) 17:45, 1 December 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Hew Locke, Sikandar, 2010.jpg)
Thanks for uploading File:Hew Locke, Sikandar, 2010.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 06:13, 2 December 2012 (UTC)


 * As you should not be directly editing the article on the gallery due to WP:COI and WP:PROMO, what other types of edits to you intend to make? (✉→BWilkins←✎) 11:21, 6 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Firstly I have to apologise because I was not aware of Wikipedias rules and regulations. The Hales Gallery page already existed and was created by a colleague some time ago- we assumed therefore that we could make changes- obviously we cannot. We wanted to add that it was our 2oth birthday to upload an image of the gallery and a map, correct grammar mistakes etc- edits would not have included critical discussions of the galleries prominence or rivals. If you are happy for the page to stay then would it be possible for you to correct the grammatical errors? We now realise it is no longer posssible for us to make changes and so we will not be conducting any further activity, I understand should it be necessary for the account to be permanently removed HalesGallery (talk) 12:03, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry, it turns out the page wasn't created by us- we just wanted to edit it to correct mistakes...HalesGallery (talk) 14:25, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
