Your submission at Articles for creation: Space Studio West London (April 27)[edit]

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

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

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 after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Space Studio West London and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 13:30, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

April 2024[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for advertising or promotion.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:32, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

why was i blocked? sorry i'm new to editing Wikipedia and I'm not sure what i did wrong, if you could just tell me what i typed/posted that got me blocked i would happily change it and make sure not to do it again.

sorry for any inconveniences! BlipoHippo (talk) 13:39, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UTRS[edit]

UTRS appeal #87912 has been closed, with an instruction to post any future unblock request here. However, if you really don't understand why language such as "giving students a unique opportunity to see the realities of working in the field of Space" and "allowing for a more in-depth and hands-on learning experience" are seen as advertising, then I'm not sure you will be able to contribute to Wikipedia without making the same kind of mistake again. Your editing was absolutely promotional. JBW (talk) 14:04, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

ok, I understand that does look promotional, but I don't see why it's an "indefinite" ban? it was a poor chois of words that I would have changed had i been given a warning. I simply didn't realize that it looked promotional when i submitted it.

Again, sorry if the way I am writing seems a bit aggressive I'm just not 100% sure what to do now. BlipoHippo (talk) 14:14, 27 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Personally I would have warned you as a first step, rather than immediately blocking you from editing. You can make an unblock request by following the instructions in the block notice above. If you do so, the essential thing is that you need to persuade an administrator that you (a) understand the reason for the block, and (b) will avoid making the same mistake again.
