User talk:Lkmort

July 2022

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:26, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am a rookie wikipedia editor and work in the communications department at Kent Denver. Our wiki page was quite out of date—we have a new board president, new head of school, new buildings, programatic changes, more students, etc)—and I was hoping to update the page with transparency by creating a username that reflected my relationship with the school. Now that I understand Wikipedia's guidelines, I will only update the factual information that can be linked to third-party sources and will use the lkmort user name. I am also a parent at the school, and my kids have offered to make future updates (on a volunteer basis) if Wikipedia would prefer that a school employee not be involved. Thank you for your patience and understanding! Kent Denver Communications (talk) 13:55, 18 July 2022 (UTC) [reply]

Accept reason:

I am removing the block per the discussion here. Please abide by this advice, and ask if you have questions(at the Help Desk) 331dot (talk) 21:13, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

An administrator will evaluate your unblock request (I am not one). The only additional advice is that you refrain from directly editing articles where you have a conflict of interest. Please review the procedure on how to make edit requests on the article's talk page. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:50, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for that suggestion! I am happy to make edit requests vs. editing directly. My main priority is to make sure the information is accurate but I understand why it would be better to go through a non-connected party. Thank you for being so patient in explaining this and my apologies for any misunderstandings on my part! Kent Denver Communications (talk) 14:59, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that it is not your school's "wiki page", but a Wikipedia article about your school. This is a subtle but important distinction. Are there any contributions you might make in areas unrelated to the school? 331dot (talk) 15:26, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Good point. I would be able to make edits to Denver/Colorado topics as a longtime resident! And/or can provide help on the school portal (being mindful not to edit articles about competitor schools in our area). LMK if that would be helpful.

Beeblebrox I'm thinking another chance is warranted here, but I would like to hear any comments that you have. 331dot (talk) 18:04, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I would be fine with that. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:11, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you so much! Lkmort (talk) 21:31, 18 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
