Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. 5 albert square (talk) 15:06, 29 January 2017 (UTC)

What do you plan to do if unblocked? Note that per our policies, you're not allowed to continue adding links to your employer's site or otherwise act in conflict of interest. Max Semenik (talk) 23:04, 30 January 2017 (UTC)

A similar situation happened before, I'll speak to my employer about contacting you. I wasn't tasked with promoting the website on articles, but adding relevant information such as artist resources on our database.
 * Regardless of your intentions, you were just not allowed to post links regarding which you have a conflict of interest. Max Semenik (talk) 01:01, 1 February 2017 (UTC)

I've unblocked Imjavivco. First off, I do help out the Israel Museum, Jerusalem from time to time. I created the template that Imjavivco was applying. So, if you don't agree with me, please reblock and/or discuss this further. The template was created under GLAM and. It was created to be applied to any article in which the museum had information for and the article was about a Jewish/Israeli person. So, Imjavivco was adding it correctly and was not meant to be promotional. Drkup(IMJ) was one of their Wikimedians in Residence at the time and still contributes. Museums also are given a greater latitude.

Imjavivco, please don't apply the template until 5 albert square and Max Semenik have signed off. Bgwhite (talk) 08:04, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * , my concern was addition of links, and I don't feel that this has been addressed. I'm fine with your unblock, however. Max Semenik (talk) 18:20, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree. That should not have been added.  Imjavico, only add the museum external links to articles if they are Jewish/Israeli related.  Benito Arias Montano doesn't fit this.  While the museum does house works from other artists, such as Rodin, Picasso, and Goya, adding the template/link to these would become promotional.  It would also clutter up the article with templates/links from every Museum housing one of their works.   Bgwhite (talk) 21:47, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * I must agree with I was concerned about the addition of links.  It came across as very promotional to me especially when coupled with the username.  I accept your unblock though.--5 albert square (talk) 22:55, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
