Your username
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Louisvilleroyals", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Ifnord (talk) 17:45, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

 * I see that you have requested and received a user name change from "Louisvilleroyals" to "Lvhslf". Are you the only person who has ever used this account, or have you taken it over from someone else?
 * You have said that you have been "correcting outdated information". That is presumably an accurate description of such changes as, for example, replacing "Myra McPartland" with "Donna Hansen" as the name of the president of the school, but it is not an accurate description of editing such as adding "The course of study at Louisville provides girls with creative and critical-thinking skills that will allow them to become constructive, contributing leaders in their community" and "Louisville provides each of its students with a strong, carefully developed college preparatory curriculum". That is pure marketing copy, and if you honestly did not see it that way then this is an excellent illustration of the main reason why Wikipedia's guideline on conflict of interest discourages editing on a subject in which one has a close personal involvement. It can be difficult to stand back from one's own writing on such a subject and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an impartial outsider, with the result that in that situation even people who sincerely believe they are writing neutrally frequently produce results which to others appear totally promotional.
 * It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account.
 * After receiving the message from Ifnord above, which links to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines on promotion, conflict of interest, and paid editing, you made an edit which did not comply with those policies and guidelines. Please make sure you do comply with policies and guidelines; otherwise you may be blocked from editing by an administrator. JBW (talk) Formerly known as JamesBWatson 20:06, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Since receiving the above messages, either you or someone working with you continued to edit contrary to the relevant guidelines, and also contrary to the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use. In view of the messages above, particularly the last paragraph of the last one, you will therefore not be surprised to learn that this account has now been blocked from editing, as has the IP address used for the latest editing. Please note that the reason for the block is not the content of the recent edit, but the persistent refusal to comply with Wikipedia's requirements. At present the block is indefinite, but it can be removed if you can convince an administrator that you will in future edit in conformity with Wikipedia's requirements. If you believe there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
