About Open Floor

Hello. I see you have removed the redirect, but have not replaced it with any content apart from categories, which may be deleted under WP:A3. Are you currently working on the article? ~ Aseleste (t, c, l) 09:02, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Further to this, even if you are, it's no reason to replace the redirect with a blank page. Rather, you should hold back pressing the Save button until you've written at least some content – such that the page doesn't meet A3 – even if it's only a stub. Meanwhile, I've restored the redirect. — Smjg (talk) 20:33, 16 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks for looking at this! I was planning to do an article on Open Floor but not immediately. In the meantime, imho, it's better to delete the article than have a redirect to 5Rhythms as that redirect is misleading. it's the same as if we put a redirect from Coke to Pepsi only because there's no content under Coke. I am only getting back into editing after a long break, so I am very interested in learning and hearing if I am missing something! Thank you! 5rhythms (talk) 12:00, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. 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.

 Thank you.

Requested username:

Dancing Librarian (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I agree completely that the original username was inappropriate. I created it long time ago, probably before the current policy was in place. I was actually planning to change it. So, thank you for a prompt! Can't wait to get to editing again - Figure Skating Championships are on - lots of updates will be needed as a result 5rhythms (talk) 14:11, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Sorry, we already have a dancing librarian! You are welcome to pick a new username. Note also that you appear to have been violating WP:COI, though this is not why you were blocked. Yamla (talk) 14:14, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Requested username:

Request reason:

I have checked both Dancing Librarian and this one - Dance Researcher - and both seem to be available. Hope it works this time. Thanks!5rhythms (talk) 20:02, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Renamed, so unblocked. Remember, you need to comply with WP:COI. This includes declaring your conflict of interest before editing any further articles and avoiding direct edits for subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest. You must declare your conflict of interest before editing further! Yamla (talk) 21:25, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Thanks! I had conflict of interest with 5Rhythms until 2013/14 I would say. My interests and affiliations have moved on since then. I have no conflict of interest to declare when editing 5Rhythms, Movement Medicine, Anna Halprin and Vladimir Litvintsev (or any skaters for that matter). I will declare conflict of interest as required when I get to those articles where there is a conflict of interest. Dance Researcher (talk) 21:33, 25 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you for addressing this, and specifically for doing so before editing articles. I take you at your word. Happy editing! --Yamla (talk) 13:37, 26 March 2021 (UTC)
