Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for a period of 24 hours for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This block is the result of your editing at Street Artists Program of San Francisco, persistently replacing properly sourced material with unsourced, and doing it in a way that makes it appear as if your writing is in the sources. Compounding the situation is the fact that much of your writing highlights the activities of a Mr. Bill Clark: spamming and attempting to highlight your own actions is completely inappropriate.

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abuse of editing privileges. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

The final paragraph of your comment has convinced me that you're not here to help build an encyclopedia, but to promote yourself regardless of what reliable sources say and regardless of consensus among other editors. If I understand you rightly, you see a block as a good thing, so you'll resume your pre-block actions. You've convinced me that you're not interested and not going to be interested in participating in a collaborative encyclopedia-writing project, so this block is set not to end. A block can be removed by another administrator (see the appealing-blocks links above), but you're going to have to convince that administrator that you won't repeat the actions for which you've been blocked.
