I have been looking at your editing history, because of a report at Administrator intervention against vandalism, suggesting that you be blocked because your account is being used only for promotion. I see, however, that you have never been told that using Wikipedia for promotion is against Wikipedia policy, and I do not think that it would be reasonable to block you indefinitely for something you may well have thought was perfectly acceptable. However, you have repeatedly removed a speedy deletion tag, which you certainly were warned was unacceptable, several times, and so I have blocked you from editing for 24 hours. Also, your editing of Vintage Computer Festival was disruptive, amounting to an attempt to hijack the article and turn it into promotion for something else. It is to your credit that you undid your changes, and finally left the article as you had found it, but for a while the article was, frankly, an appalling mess, so please don't do this sort of thing again. If you wish to test or try out edits, please use the sandbox, rather than making test edits to an article. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below this notice, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
