User talk:TAXI (Artist Group)

November 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. Salvio Let's talk about it! 18:24, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 10:09, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

- '''Unfortunately my username is blocked as it was unsuitable for Wikipedia. I was just a little confused with the whole thing and apologize for that.I understand why my username is blocked,i will not do it again. Also i will not violate any principles of Wikipedia.
 * Just wanted to offer some feedback on your request. It honestly doesn't help to merely assert that you will not violate the policies. In order to unblock your account, it is important to convince others that you understand the policies and will refrain from violating them in the future. How did you come to understand the policies? How is your understanding different now than previously? Can you summarize the conflict of interest policy in your own words? Why is the policy important to the encyclopedia? Will you be editing articles in the future with which you have a conflict of interest? If so, how will you contribute? What information will you be providing? How can we be certain that you will not return to previous editing practices in violation policy, if your account is unblocked? These questions are mere examples of a more thorough response and what we need to see in order to appropriately assess your request and determine whether or not to unblock your account. Other editors may have additional questions. Best regards, Cindy  ( talk to me ) 09:45, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

1) I understand Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory.

2) I don't have any motivation to do anything against the aim of Wikipedia.

3) I will make productive contributions.

Please help me to unblock my account.

Thank you

 * You've been asked very straightforward questions and you replied very vaguely - and I'm personally inclined to deny your request due to this. I'm mostly interested in If so, how will you contribute? What information will you be providing? Max Semenik (talk) 16:55, 14 November 2012 (UTC)

I'd contribute my knowledge on art, particularly on Indian Art, by providing previously published information and links to various relevant sources supporting my information. I believe that the information I'll provide on Indian Art will help enrich Wikipedia as an encyclopedia. I also understand the fact that it is my responsibility to provide information which is unequivocal and completely verifiable and I can assure full verity of the information I'll provide by citing verifiable sources, according to the terms&conditions and spirit of Wikipedia. I bear in mind the policies of Wikipedia with a better and thorough reading of them and I commit to stick to them very strongly.

 * You do realize that because your sole edits to this project have been promotional, there's nobody who believes that you "don't have any motivation to do anything against the aim of Wikipedia"? (✉→BWilkins←✎) 12:31, 18 November 2012 (UTC)
