User talk:WJetty

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Pam D  08:50, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Your edits
Hallo and welcome to editing Wikipedia.

Your username suggests that you are connected with Windermere Jetty: Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories. Please see WP:COI about "Conflict of Interest". If you are editing Wikipedia as part of your paid employment, or are otherwise being paid to edit Wikipedia, please read WP:PAID carefully and make any appropriate declaration.

There is also a problem that a name like "Wjetty" sounds as if it may be being used by a team of people. Wikipedia editor names are for individuals, who take responsibility for their own edits. You can use a name like "JaneWJetty" if you are one individual but closely associated with WJ.

Another problem with your edits is copyright. The prose you added to the main WJ article was obviously copied from somewhere else (use of "we" is a giveaway), and I found it on the Lakeland Arts site, which is copyright material. Wikipedia does not allow the addition of copyright material, either text or images, unless the copyright holder has declared that it may be freely used for all purposes including commercial use. There is no such declaration on the LA site. I have reverted your addition.

The text you added to the list of museums was inappropriately promotional, as well as being lifted entirely from another website. I've toned it down, and added a picture.

There is a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. Happy Editing. Pam D  09:08, 22 July 2019 (UTC)

Copyright message
Your addition to Windermere Jetty: Museum of Boats, Steam and Stories has been removed in whole or in part, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. If you are the copyright holder, please read Donating copyrighted materials for more information on uploading your material to Wikipedia. For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images&mdash;you must write using your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright very seriously and persistent violators of our copyright policy will be blocked from editing. See Copying text from other sources for more information.

July 2019
There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 11:47, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
