User talk:StDAdmin

February 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Saint David's School (New York City). Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Please see the policies on promotion and ownership of articles. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:08, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for your insightful comment. I will look into these policies deeper. StDAdmin Talk 11:17, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. However, I noticed that your username (StDAdmin) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because per WP:USERNAME, a username may not contain the word "admin", as it gives the impression that the account has permissions which it does not have. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account to use for editing. Thank you. andy4789 ★ ·  (talk?   contribs?)  16:21, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Your addition to Saint David's School (New York City) has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without permission from the copyright holder. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other websites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of article content such as sentences or images. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing. Even if you do own the copyright or have the permission of the copyright owner to copy that text to Wikipedia, it is blatant promotion. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:24, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Thanks I will change my username and stop editing it for now.


 * Thank you for offering to change your username and stop editing. I trust that this means that edits like this one, which came after the above statement, will not be repeated. --Orlady (talk) 16:39, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * To continue that train of thought, you can't remove referenced, independently verifiable information from an article just because it reflects badly on the article's subject, as you did in the edit mentioned above and this one. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 16:43, 14 February 2012 (UTC)
 * To change username, apply at WP:CHU - read down to the bottom of that page and click on "Simple." Your account must be for you as an individual, not shared with anyone else, and you are personally responsible for its edits. Please note that even with an individual username, in any editing about the school you are subject to the rules on WP:Conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not for promotion of any kind, and is extremely resistant to being used in that way. Read WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest for advice.

 * Reappeared under a different account - User:StDSchool, which has been blocked. Secretlondon (talk) 21:50, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, StDAdmin, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.
