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 or a web site, 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. Longhair\talk 11:39, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Blocked Name Change
This does not address your inappropriate edits. --Yamla (talk) 14:05, 3 December 2018 (UTC)

Your response had two parts.

Part one: "No. You need to pick a new username." You and Longhair find my name to be promotional because its the same as our event is transitioning to? I attempted to acquiesce on that front and offered an alternative handle.

Part two: "Additionally, your contributions were unambiguously promotional and were in violation of WP:COI and WP:PAID." Let me start with the second half. I have volunteered for the nonprofit and the event for 5 years. I in no way receive compensation and find that jump to WP:PAID to be presumptive. On the note of WP:COI I have read and re-read the guidance and my edits do not inherently hold bias nor benefit myself or my organization. They might well benefit others in communities around the world who seek comparable events as references to start their own though. The knowledge contained provides a flat almost monotone nature with the exception of light humor in discussing judges. That humor for the record is in fact a critical aspect of the event and all events like it.

I am sorry that I've offended or displeased you and Longhair. I see no way to remove the humorous bits or add more citations or seek others to contribute given my blocked status and the unpublished nature of the post. So I'm unsure of how you wish me to further acquiesce?
