Hello, I'm Zackmann08. Thank you for your recent contributions to Immaculate Conception Academy (San Francisco, California). I noticed that when you added the image to the infobox, you added it as a thumbnail. In the future, please do not use thumbnails when adding images to an infobox (see WP:INFOBOXIMAGE). What does this mean? Well in the infobox, when you specify the image you wish to use, instead of doing it like this:

SomeImage.jpg

Instead just supply the name of the image. So in this case you can simply do:

SomeImage.jpg.

There will then be a separate parameter for the image caption such as Some image caption. Please note that this is a generic form message I am leaving on your page because you recently added a thumbnail to an infobox. The specific parameters for the image and caption may be different for the infobox you are using! Please consult the Template page for the infobox being used to see better documentation. Thanks!

Your addition to Immaculate Conception Academy (San Francisco, California) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Zackmann08 (Talk to me/What I been doing) 19:22, 22 September 2017 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * 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.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 23:29, 22 September 2017 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 21:44, 22 January 2019 (UTC)

Unblock user & IP address
Please unblock me. I have provided a new username that I a willing to use. Also, the original username was not intended for advertising or promotion. It was a general username that many users could access within the school organization that I was trying to update.

WHAT WERE THE INAPPROPRIATE EDITS? LET'S SEE: IMMACULATE CONCEPTION ACADEMY IS NOW ICA CRISTO REY ACADEMY; PRINCIPAL IS NOW DR. GEORGE V. FORNERO; FACULTY IS NOW 54. I WORK AT ICA CRISTO REY ACADEMY. HOW CAN YOU TELL ME THAT WHAT I ADD IS BREAKING YOUR COPYRIGHT RULES WHEN I AM THE ONE WHO WROTE IT????

THE FACT IS THAT I WAS BLOCKED BY A NON-ADMINISTRATOR Zackmann08 SHOULD BE THE REAL ISSUE.
 * Stop shouting. You violated WP:COI, WP:USERNAME, and WP:COPYRIGHT. If you are the original source of the text, great. That policy page explains how you can modify the license on the source page. You still shouldn't be adding it, though; that would be a blatant violation of WP:COI. Additionally, it is simply not true that you were blocked by Zackmann08. It would not be possible for you to be blocked by a non-admin and your claim is ludicrous. Your block log is available here and shows, an administrator, blocked you. --Yamla (talk) 01:02, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Then please update the page based from https://www.icacristorey.org. If you type in www.icacademy.org, it redirects to icacristorey.org. And also, can you provide information about deleting my account because basically I won't be able to ever update the page because of WP:COI. Because as an employee of the school in the marketing department, I will be violating the COI because I am an employee of the school and has knowledge of information about the school that is basically useless unless a foreign user makes edits, which absolutely makes no sense.

So if you would please update the logo, and sidebar information to what we have on the ICA Cristo Rey website, then this matter is done. And just to prove that it is no longer called Immaculate Conception Academy, go to Google Maps because Google was easier to communicate to.

Unblock User
I would like to change my username.

I wish to also edit the Cristo Rey Network page, which I am not a part of or work for. MattT1883 (talk) 11:23, 26 January 2019 (UTC)MattT1883
 * You are welcome to state that in a new unblock request, which for fairness will be reviewed by someone else. 331dot (talk) 11:26, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking. Your company's webpage is not any of those. You are being paid to edit Wikipedia. You must read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. You may not edit the article about your company directly. You may suggest edits to that article on its talk page. If you are only here to update your company's webpage, I doubt you will be unblocked. What else would you like to edit. Please read user:Dlohcierekim/g12. Please explain what it means in your own words and how it impacts your editing. Thanks.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 00:29, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Referencing the company page: it means that I can never edit the company page, but suggest edits, which I am totally fine with. If it means getting the correct information up on the page, I'm all for it. The main reason why I created the account was to change the logo and the name "Immaculate Conception Academy" on the company page, because it is the wrong, and outdated as well as a few of the sidebar categories.

For example, today a visitor referenced wikipedia saying that Lana Turner was a famous alumna from ICA. This happens to be false as it is even stated in the article that she only attended for a brief time and left and graduated from a different school, which means that she isn't an alumni of the school because the definition of alumni is a graduate of the school.

I want to make sure that the information on our page is correct, that's all. If it means to continuously comment on the talk page, I am happy to do so.

"I wish to edit the Cristo Rey Network page. I am not a part of or work for them." But... you work for the Cristo Rey Academy. Claiming that you are unrelated to the Cristo Rey Network is more than deliberately misleading. I very strongly urge the reviewing administrator to decline your unblock and revoke access to your talk page. --Yamla (talk) 12:08, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

The Cristo Rey Network is a separate business from ICA Cristo Rey Academy. Yes, they both have Cristo Rey in the name, but one is a school and the other is a business/corporation. The two are completely different. Also, I am not being paid to edit the Cristo Rey Network as I don't work there. I didn't say unrelated; I said I don't work for them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MattT1883 (talk • contribs)
 * This page lists ICA Cristo Rey Academy as one of the thirty five schools making up the Cristo Rey Network. "The two are completely different." No, they aren't. You are deliberately attempting to mislead us. --Yamla (talk) 18:04, 26 January 2019 (UTC)
