This is one of a series of accounts which have been created for the single purpose of using Wikipedia to publicise or promote L. Song Richardson and her career. Clearly the accounts have been used either by one person or by more than one person acting together or under the direction of the same person or persons. In the following, "you" is used collectively, referring to whoever has used those accounts, whether it be one person or more than one.

You have repeatedly posted content to Wikipedia which is copied from elsewhere, continuing to do so after being informed that it is unacceptable. It is almost never suitable to copy content from another web site to Wikipedia, for more than one reason, the most important being copyright. When you post anything to Wikipedia you release it for anyone in the world to reuse it, either unchanged or modified in any way whatever, subject to attribution to Wikipedia. It is very rare that the owner of a web site licenses content for such very free reuse, and in those few occasions when they do so, we require proof of the fact. We don't assume that content is freely licensed on the unsubstantiated say so of just anyone who comes along and creates a Wikipedia account. On this occasion the content comes from a web site with a copyright page which says "All rights reserved" and also gives contact information for requesting permission for reuse. It is perfectly clear that there is no intention to allow free use by anyone in the world subject only to attribution to Wikipedia.

You have been informed that an account which represents an organisation is not acceptable, and that a username which suggests that an account does so is also acceptable. For that reason an account you have used in the past was renamed, but you have gone ahead and created a new account with the same name which you had already been told was unacceptable.

Your editing has, as I said above, clearly had the purpose of using Wikipedia to publicise and promote a person and her work. Wikipedia is not a medium for publishing résumés, nor is it a medium for publicising, promoting, or advertising anything or anyone.

Posting messages to an earlier account, explaining some of the problems, has not succeeded, as you have simply continued doing exactly the same things. Therefore this account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. If you wish to think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by adding the text at the bottom of this page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. You should should read the guide to appealing blocks before doing so.
