User talk:Mrs Lambert

October 2020
Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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 against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Cabayi (talk) 18:59, 28 October 2020 (UTC)

Rename not successfull
The chosen username is too similar to an existing username or it used to be username of someone else that got renamed: JoannaLambert.. Please choose again. -- Deep fried okra ( talk ) 02:26, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Please see other stuff exists. It is usually a poor argument to cite other similar articles as a reason for yours to exist too.  Because this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us.  We can only address what we know about.  The article that you cite is tagged as problematic itself. This is why each article or draft is judged on its own merits.
 * You don't seem to understand conflict of interest. You are supposed to tell us if you have any connections to the topics of your edits. Conflict of interest is not just about promotion and advertising. It is about the appearance of influence on your edits or that you are here for reasons other than improving this neutral encyclopedia. 331dot (talk) 14:00, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia exists as, in essence, a content aggregator that summarizes what independent reliable sources have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the relevant special Wikipedia definition of notability, with a neutral point of view. Summarizing what already existing sources state in a neutral manner is not advertising or promotion. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves or those associated with them. Any organization is free to do that on its own website or social media accounts. I would strongly suggest that you review the policies and links on this page and in this post for more information before attempting to request unblock again. If you make another request, and are interested in being a general, individual contributor, please tell what topics you want to edit about that are completely unrelated to your conflict of interest. If you are only interested in making edits related to your conflict of interest, there is nothing more to be done here. We're trying to help you understand, but you need to meet us halfway. 331dot (talk) 21:45, 29 October 2020 (UTC)
 * The Five Pillars may also help you. 331dot (talk) 21:45, 29 October 2020 (UTC)


 * Someone will review your request. No one is blocking anyone from writing about those topics.  Anyone without a conflict of interest is completely free to write about any subject they take note of in independent reliable sources, including Rollins and your organization.  While you won't be unblocked to edit about those topics in the short term, if you spend time developing a good edit history demonstrating that you understand Wikipedia guidelines(six months to a year minimum), you might later be permitted to submit drafts in areas where you have a conflict of interest.  But you won't be unblocked to make COI related edits now.
 * I will add that Wikipedia is not concerned with whether any topic "deserves a presence" here(there are some subjects where it is possible to take the opposite view, that a topic does not deserve it, but we cover them too); it's solely up to the coverage in independent reliable sources. Wikipedia is not concerned with telling the world about people, or recognizing their careers in some way- just summarizing the sources. 331dot (talk) 07:25, 30 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you,331dot. I understand wikipedia's purpose is not to promote any person or idea.  In saying Hazelle Rollins deserves a page, I meant that there is no information about her on wikipedia for researchers, puppeteers and collectors, so the information should be available.

I am still appealing at this time to be unblocked so I can do editing and provide reliable sources for data on various pages of Wikipedia, not related to my conflict of interest topics/intended pages. I also understand someone else other than myself (and outside of my organization) would have to create pages for which there is a perceived conflict of interest. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrs Lambert (talk • contribs)
