Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Swifts Creek has been reverted. Your edit here to Swifts Creek was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (https://www.facebook.com/Poets-Walk-Swifts-Creek-100668824903099/?epa=SEARCH_BOX) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Great Alpine Gallery
Hello Helenka King,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Great Alpine Gallery for deletion, because it seems to be copied from another source, probably infringing copyright.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to rewrite it in your own words, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Helenka King. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the request edit template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Conflict of interest);
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  08:53, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Hi

I’m utterly confused. This is the first page I’ve put up and I’m getting messages from you and someone else that are distressing. Ok I see what you are saying about cutting and pasting from the Gallery website - beginners mistake. I’d do different text next time. I get that.

But conflict of interest issues are confusing. I mean I’m putting the page up on behalf of the Gallery (which is volunteer run on behalf of local artists in a remote part of Australia) to showcase what the Gallery does to encourage visitors. Like so many other pages. I don’t get anything from this.

So now I’m blocked?!!!! No second chance? That’s harsh. One mistake and that’s it?

 * The block is indefinite, not infinite. And I'll note you received a second chance. Jimfbleak pointed out you were violating WP:COI and gave you an opportunity to read and understand that policy, declare your conflict of interest, and refrain from any further edits in violation. You refused that chance. You've now been blocked by me to make sure you read and understand that policy and WP:PROMO. Once you can demonstrate that and tell us what you'll write about instead, you may be unblocked. That would be your third chance. I understand that Wikipedia is confusing. It is, legitimately, confusing. That's why we pointed out your edits were inappropriate and directed you to the policies in question. --Yamla (talk) 13:32, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Also see WP:Own Jimfbleak - talk to me?  08:54, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:. Thanks for your email. I see another admin has blocked you, but for completeness note that the copied page was marked All content © Great Alpine Gallery Inc, 2016-17, or to individual artists, except where otherwise specified, whereas we require that text must be freely available for all to use for any purpose. It was deleted promptly because for legal reasons we don't host copyrighted text. I'm not sure how not being paid means that you have no COI with regard to the organisation, you need to be transparent about your role. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  13:13, 20 July 2020 (UTC)
