Hello, BardCollegeBerlinCommunications. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template);
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. 81.187.192.168 (talk) 14:07, 17 January 2024 (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 gives the impression 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; 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, 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. – robertsky (talk) 14:53, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I was not aware that organizations are not allowed to edit their own pages. I now know this. Going forward, I will disclose my relationship as an employee of the organization (Bard College Berlin) and request edits through the proper channel of the talk page. I will not promote or publicize my organization, I will only update factual information with third-party sources. Thank you.BardCollegeBerlinCommunications (talk) 11:07 pm, 17 January 2024, last Wednesday (2 days ago) (UTC+8)

Accept reason:

Satisfied with the responses here and below. Again do keep in mind copyright violations and conflict of interest. Happy editing~ – robertsky (talk) 14:09, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Do you understand that it was extremely inappropriate for you to copy content from your college website to here? Have you any interest in contributing about topics for which you have no conflict of interest? 331dot (talk) 16:27, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Ima rename to clear the queue -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:36, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what I did was inappropriate. I will not copy from the college website into Wikipedia again. I'd like to use this account to contribute to other topics in the future as well, that I have no conflict of interest with. I would also like to request updates to the college Wikipedia because there is outdated information- I will do so through requested changes through the Talk Page with third party sources to be reviewed. Thank you.Pankowfox24 (talk) 09:30, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not every comment needs to be an unblock request. What topics might you edit about? 331dot (talk) 18:00, 18 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thanks. I would consider editing about topics that are of personal interest to me such as kpop, F1 racing, Eurovision, etc. Pankowfox24 (talk) 09:52, 19 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
