Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia with this username. This is because your username, Pier24photo, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Decline reason:

I'm sorry, but I do not think the proposed new username is sufficiently different from the company name to not imply shared use. Huon (talk) 18:23, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Pier 24 Photography (June 8)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Chris troutman was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I'm not sure if this gallery has general notability but this draft is definelty written promotionally. I've already trimmed out some junk but more needs to be cut away. As a connected contributor, you'll need to make an extra effort to separate your biases from your edits here. You might post at the reward board for help.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Pier 24 Photography and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello! BillEggleston, I noticed your article was declined at Articles for Creation, and that can be disappointing.

See you there! Chris Troutman (talk) 15:59, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

response to submission decline

Thanks User:Chris troutman. I have deleted a lot of non relevant information. The post is modeled after Headlands Center for the Arts page, and other Bay Area non profit museums. I appreciate the feedback.

Have a look at Fraenkel Gallery for a neutrally written SF gallery article (written by me). -Lopifalko (talk) 20:11, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I did check it out Lopifalko - I used the quote from Sandra Phillips after seeing what you did. I have cut all of the biased content, and included a lot more 3rd party sources. Thanks for the feedback!BillEggleston (talk) 20:35, 8 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
