Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Fine Art Society, but you didn't provide a source. I’ve removed it for now, but if you’d like to include a citation to a reliable source and re-add it, please do so! If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. Jim1138 talk 11:25, 9 November 2018 (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 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 11:43, 9 November 2018 (UTC)

Please provide me with a relevant link as I do not understand what you are referring to. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheFineArtSociety1876 (talk • contribs)
 * Standard comments don't need to be formatted as unblock requests. In the block notice above announcing your block, there is a paragraph which starts "If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock."  Follow the instructions listed there, which doesn't involve a link but you copying the template from this page into the edit window and replacing "Your proposed new username" and "your reason here" with the appropriate information. 331dot (talk) 11:23, 19 February 2019 (UTC)


 * You state that you agree not to edit about the Society, but you then say "I only intend to edit its page in the future as long as I am employed"; this is contradictory. Are you agreeing to not edit about the Society or not? 331dot (talk) 11:39, 19 February 2019 (UTC)


 * I have renamed your account from TheFineArtSociety1876, and someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 11:40, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the name. Sorry I have mixed words. But for purposes of transparency: I as an employee will not edit the page, but as an individual I will edit pages like this and similar. I am employed as a researcher so there is a peculiar conflict of interests. I am not involved in business but it is an important part of my role to ensure information about the gallery is correct. As mention, at present it is not.
 * What I think you need to do is agree not to edit anything related to The Fine Art Society directly, and only make requests on the article talk page for other people to review and edit. You should also make a declaration of your connection to The Fine Art Society on your user page. Do you agree to that? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:58, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

I will agree not to make any edits to The Fine Art Society page directly and to make requests on the article talk page for other people to review and edit. I shall also declare my connection to the The Fine Art Society on the user page.

 * Works for me too. 331dot (talk) 13:05, 19 February 2019 (UTC)

Hello there. Has there been an issue with unblocking the account?

Hi There, Is there still an issue? I cant seem to make suggestions or anything. Thanks. P

[User:331dot|331dot]] Hi Are you able to tell me how I can make suggested alterations. Again the article for The Fine Art Society is incorrect. Many thanks,
