August 2023[edit]

Hello, I'm 64andtim. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions to Cargilfield Preparatory School have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted; Wikipedia articles should be written objectively, using independent sources, and from a neutral perspective. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. 64andtim (chat) 19:56, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, I am new to editing on Wikipedia. Thanks for the explanation. I will keep it strictly to services, organisation etc. Kindly unblock my cargifieldmktg for editing.

The Company name title is incorrect. We are known as Cargilfield School and not Cargilfield Preparatory School. How do I change it?

Furthermore, the company logo featured is no longer in use and it has been replaced with a new logo. How do I change it?

Kind Regards CargilfieldMktg (talk) 21:02, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your website still calls it Cargilfield Prep School? Theroadislong (talk) 21:22, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The school is registered as Cargilfield School and uses this name for all official communication, website and omnichannels. It is important that we correct the name accordingly on Wikipedia. CargilfieldMktg (talk) 08:00, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock|reason=I am new to Wikipedia. I will keep the Cargilfield School site strictly neutral adhering to the Wikipedia guidelines; well noted that services, organisation etc can be listed but keeping the information and tone neutral. Please reinstate my editing as the original profile is now missing vital information re school ages, boarding and preparatory day school~~~~}}

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Cargilfield Preparatory School. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Thank you for the advice and feedback. I am a new user and did not realise that the edit I created went against the rules of Wikipedia. Moving forward, any update to will be kept strictly facts based. How do I get my account unblocked? CargilfieldMktg (talk) 07:39, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the 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.
Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

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. — Ingenuity (talk • contribs) 20:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am new to Wikipedia. I will keep the Cargilfield School site strictly neutral adhering to the Wikipedia guidelines which I now realise are purely facts based. I would like to have my access revoked as the School site is is now missing important information about the school ages, boarding and preparatory Schoo.CargilfieldMktg (talk) 07:46, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I think you mean "restored" not "revoked" as your access has already been revoked. You have not proposed a new username as instructed. You posted highly promotional text in the article. Please read promotion, conflict of interest and paid editing. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your school. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you are interested in being a more general contributor and editing about topics for which you have no conflict of interest, please tell what those might be. We're going to need you to demonstrate your understanding of relelvant content policies and guidelines before permitting you to indirectly contribute about your school. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:54, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

tledi2023 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

My original user name was blocked as being new to Wikipedia I had not read the editing policies to prevent promotional sentences being used. As a consequence of the bloc and having been made aware that only facts and neutral information can be used by the administrators, I would like to change my username accordingly. I have fully read the guidelines and restrictions for Wiki editing and I confirm that no marketing content of any kind will be added to Cargilfield's wikipedia page. I take this block very seriously and I would be grateful for a second chance to prove that I meant no harm or malice to the strict rules which applies to Wikipedia editing. I would like to request my access to be restored.CargilfieldMktg (talk) 08:14, 6 August 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

This seems to indicate that you are only interested in writing about the school (see WP:SPA) and still plan to directly edit the article. You already know this isn't appropriate. Yamla (talk) 10:47, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged your requests into a single request, as only one open request is needed at a time. The Reply function is not designed to accomodate unblock requests so I have fixed the formatting issues involved. If you need to make another request, please open the edit window directly by clicking "edit" at the top of the screen. Someone else will review your request. 331dot (talk) 08:36, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

In addition, you haven't done as I requested: "You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your school. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you are interested in being a more general contributor and editing about topics for which you have no conflict of interest, please tell what those might be. We're going to need you to demonstrate your understanding of relelvant content policies and guidelines before permitting you to indirectly contribute about your school." 331dot (talk) 08:38, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot,It is with regret and deeply unfortunate that whilst trying to correct an incorrect listing of our company name as well as intending to replace an old company logo (discontinued) with a new brand logo on Wikipedia for Cargilfield School that due to my role with the School I am not deemed impartial and unable to rectify this information.

Furthermore, with the intention of updating the Schools fact based services - on par with other independent Schools in the United Kingdom, which includes facts such as these - Cargilfield are not allowed to list boarding, co-curricular range, the number of children attending the school, that it is a boys and girls school and the nature of the school (prep).

You confirm that the Wikipedia administration is viewing this as being a conflict of interest despite this will ensure accurate and up-to-date representation of our company? CargilfieldMktg (talk) 09:16, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
