User talk:NYS Office of General Services

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. Alexf(talk) 23:26, 8 May 2018 (UTC)

Sorry, that's just an acronym of the organization's name. It needs to be a username unique too an individual. Wikipedia accounts must be used by one individual only. Please see Username_policy -- Dloh cier ekim   (talk) 18:21, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Oh, my. We are not an official anything outlet, and "official" whatevers have a WP:conflict of interest. In light of this, I think it best if you read and heed WP:PAID, as you seem to be editing as some "official" job. I think the best you can hope for is to make suggestions. All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking. It is not to be the "official" information outlet of the subject. You state, "any random user could edit information"? Indeed. Wikipedia is the encyclopedia anyone can edit. '''If you have a problem with accuracy, then you may propose changes on an article's talk page cited reliable sources, and seek consensus for proposed changes. If information is not reliably soured, it must be challenged.''' Hope this helps, -- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 18:32, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Wait a second-- you added "Added facebook page link for summer events listings"? That's promotionalism. That's not what you said in your unblock request. As to Facebook, you need to go there and create an official FaceBook page. The Wikipedia mirrors on FaceBook are just that, mirrors. Please do not use Wikipedia to advance your social media presence. It is not what we are here for.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 18:36, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification. We should have read the policy more closely and have no purpose here and will remove our account.
