Your edit to Sydney Film School 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 Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for information on how to contribute your work appropriately. For legal reasons, Wikipedia strictly cannot host copyrighted text or images from print media or digital platforms without an appropriate and verifiable license. Contributions infringing on copyright will be removed. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—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 Wikipedia:Copying text from other sources for more information. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 05:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or website, 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 follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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 search to 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 still available.

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. --Chris | Crazycomputers (talk) 05:50, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I received no financial compensation from this edit. I understand that the reason I was blocked was that I copied the text directly from the organisation's website. I will not do this again and instead write original content for Wikipedia.

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=filmmaniac2017 | 3=I received no financial compensation from this edit. I understand that the reason I was blocked was that I copied the text directly from the organisation's website. I will not do this again and instead write original content for Wikipedia. | 4=~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=filmmaniac2017 | reason=I received no financial compensation from this edit. I understand that the reason I was blocked was that I copied the text directly from the organisation's website. I will not do this again and instead write original content for Wikipedia. | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=filmmaniac2017 | reason=I received no financial compensation from this edit. I understand that the reason I was blocked was that I copied the text directly from the organisation's website. I will not do this again and instead write original content for Wikipedia. | decline={{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

Noting that I've renamed the editor, but will need an answer here before an unblock. Elli (talk | contribs) 03:03, 18 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Elli,

I couldn't reply to you here with the account "Sydneyfilmschool" so I created a new user to be able to respond to you. I work for Sydney Film School and I was trying to update the details on this page as they were very out of date.

Cheers,

"Sydneyfilmschool" aka Waterloostudios242. Waterloostudios242 (talk) 23:01, 19 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello!

As a quick note: you need to log in with your original account's details, but now using the username of Filmmaniac2017. It should have the same password as the original account (i.e. Sydneyfilmschool). Because your account was blocked for making promotional edits, in addition to a username violation, you will need to answer 331dot's questions before we can unblock you.

Additionally, please note that Wikipedia's sockpuppetry policy prohibits you from making new accounts until your current block is lifted; as such, I have blocked Waterloostudios242. Please do not create any more accounts while you remain blocked.

Hi Elli,

I work for Sydney Film School and my intention was to make the Sydney Film School wiki page up to date with the latest information.

Cheers,

If you work for the school, you are a paid editor, it does not require specific payment for edits(otherwise every paid editor would deny being specifically paid for edits). 331dot (talk) 09:03, 20 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
