Editing problems

 * 1) Wikipedia requires all content to be written from a neutral point of view, and text which promotes or extols its subject isn't suitable.
 * 2) If you are connected to someone or something you have written about (a few examples are writing about yourself, your business, your band, a member of your family, your client) then you should be aware that Wikipedia's conflict of interest guideline discourages you from writing about that subject. The main reason for that is that experience over the years indicates that editors with such a connection to a subject they are writing about are likely to find it very difficult, or even impossible, to stand back from their writing and see how it will look from the detached perspective of an outsider, so that they are likely to write in ways that look promotional to others, even if they sincerely think they are writing in a neutral way. Also, if your editing forms all or part of work for which you are paid, whether as an employee, as a contractor, or in any other capacity, the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require you to state who is paying you, and what your connection to them is. (To avoid the possibility of a surprisingly common misunderstanding, editing is part of paid work if it is done as part of normal employment or as part of a work to a contract, whether or not a specific payment earmarked for editing Wikipedia is made.)
 * 3) 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. Certainly we can't accept text previously published on a web site which has a copyright notice saying "all rights reserved", as in the case of material you have posted
 * 4) Wikipedia policy is that a user  account must be for one person acting in an individual capacity, and accounts representing groups, organisations, or businesses aren't allowed. Therefore you must not continue to edit under your current username, but a name such as "Joan Doe at Worcester Symphony Orchestra" would be fine. JBW (talk) 14:05, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

 You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because you have continued to edit in contravention of every one of the requirements explained to you above. Almost all of us, when we start editing Wikipedia, know little or nothing about Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, so nobody can be blamed for starting out doing things that are contrary to policies and guidelines that they don't know about. However, continuing to do the same things after being told about the relevant policies and guidelines is a different matter.. If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page:.

 * This is actually not true that i consistently going against polocoes. I wouldn't do that. It's possible I only got warning emails after I was editing. I didn't discover Sandbox until i just discovered a youtube article minutes ago. Worcester Symphony Orchestra (talk) 10:30, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I am trying to post an article and would be glad to do it in Sandbox first and receive feedback before publishing if you would unblock. Thank you, Worcester Symphony Orchestra (talk) 10:32, 29 October 2022 (UTC)
