Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did at The Vineyard Beverly Hills. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant notice boards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. You were undone twice by user:Roxy the dog . You asked about it at the Teahouse and I told you that I agreed with the removal, and that you should discuss it on the article's talk page so that other interested editors could see it and comment. Instead you restored part of it again. Meters (talk) 02:56, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please read WP:PROMO, and please read and comply with the previous message about your username. Meters (talk) 02:59, 4 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

August 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 {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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 {{unblock|Your reason here}} 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.

Request reason:

I understand now I cannot use the word Gallery; I just requested a change to my name plus a random number. However, how does anyone think that revealing the fact that the property is again in trouble financially seem promotional? Regarding the celebrity element, these are the newsworthy items that are mentioned in significantly noteworthy sources to cite. It seems no one is allowed to say anything about the property for some reason? Wikipedia had a note ASKING people to add material and I don't see anything in Wikipedia's rules that says you cannot mention something that was published in a major news source as long as you are not saying only positive things about a subject. I think it is sad that such a beautiful property cannot get a good owner to develop it, and am obviously NOT a fan of the current owners. Also, I am not promoting anything to do with an art gallery and requested one name change that was rejected, now made a new request for my name plus a random number

Decline reason:

You did indeed add some negative material. To be exact, you added "some positive and some negative stuff so it looks fair minded", just like the advert on Freelancer asked you too. Yunshui ^雲 _水 11:29, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am sorry for reposting a couple of times - I am totally new at this and thought I was not posting the material property. Then I wanted to see if I made it really clear I was not a proponent of the current owners

But people still felt necessary to delete it. Can someone please explain how making it known that someone is in a financial crisis is promotional? And you are not allowed to post material from major news sources if it is in any way complementary (and it was only complementary to the property not the owners).

Your claim that celebrities who happened to attend parties on the property are actually interested in purchasing the property is promotional garbage. Meters (talk) 21:59, 5 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Now I know there is some sort of emotional bias here - something rampant in Wikipedia that I personally would love to root out

I never said that Rihanna or James Cameron or the other celebs who utilized the property were interested in buying it, did it? There was 1 possible offer from 1 celebrity, which given the nature of the property and the stature of its previous owners would not seem unusual.GeorgeWright79 (talk) 18:10, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Your comments are unwarranted. I have no emotional bias here. You are trying to stuff inappropriate material into the article. Your addition The property has had buyers and interest from some of the world's current most successful celebrities, including Tom Cruise, who recently considered an offer of $400 million <ref>https://bhcourier.com/courier-e-edition-login/<ref>. Prior to that, it attracted other top celebrity interest from stars such as Rhiannon in her Diamond Ball fundraiser at the Vineyard <ref>https://www.huffpost.com/entry/rihanna-pays-it-forward-d_b_6345522<ref> and James Cameron, Halle Berry, and Charlize Thereon celebrated the first "Fame and Philanthropy" Oscar event as well. can certainly be interpreted as meaning that those celebrities were interested in purchasing the property. If that's not what you mean then that material is even less appropriate for the article. We do not need to report on which celebritites happen to have attended parties on the property.

There's no point in you continuing this, You are indefinitely blocked. Good bye. Meters (talk) 19:36, 6 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
