Hello, I'm Squinge. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Artscape Theatre Centre because they appeared to be promotional. 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.

 * The above is a standard templated message, which doesn't really explain the problems with your addition. Firstly, it is written in a kind of marketing promotional language, which is not what a neutral encyclopedia wants. That's because it appears to have been copied from http://www.artscape.co.za/history, and that raises a second problem - it was a copyright violation, because the text has not been released in a suitably licensed format for Wikipedia's use (it even has a copyright statement at the bottom of the page). Please have a look at Copyright violations to learn about Wikipedia's copyright policy, and at Neutral point of view to understand Wikipedia's approach to writing in a neutral tone.
