Hello, Kbarrettart, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Mari Goldberg (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 22:15, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello,

I wanted to send a message to clear up that I am not Mari Goldberg. We both work for the gallery that represents Y.Z. Kami and therefore we have been attempting to make the same updates to this wikipedia page as per request of Kami. I am asking for permission to post these changes as we have firsthand permission to do so.

Thank you so much! Kbarrettart (talk) 14:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Hi I just noticed that I am unable to edit now- May I request to be unblocked? It is per request of the artist that I make changes to this page right away so please let me know when you can. Thank you Kbarrettart (talk) 14:33, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Note that you and Mari Goldberg both have a conflict of interest and so should not be editing that article directly. See WP:COI. You also count as sockpuppets of each other; see WP:SOCK. --Yamla (talk) 16:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello I wanted to respond to this from my personal account to see about how I may edit this article since my work account has been flagged as WP:SOCK? I don't want to violate anything, but I would like to make some necessary edits to the wikipedia page. Thank you Kbarrett723 (talk) 16:25, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Kbarrettart! Your additions to Y.Z. Kami have been removed in whole or in part, as they appear to have added copyrighted content without evidence that the source material is in the public domain or has been released by its owner or legal agent under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. (To request such a release, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission.) While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. DanCherek (talk) 22:35, 26 October 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason: You need to fill in the template fields correctly if you wish to be unblocked. Yamla (talk) 16:00, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello Yamla, Please let me know how I should be filling in the templates. I believe I did this correctly but please let me know if I am missing something. Kbarrettart (talk) 16:02, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

You did not. Instead of filling in the ip address, autoblock message, and blocking admin, you said, "I have access to make edits to this page and I am not using multiple accounts. I need to edit this urgently so I am requesting unblock please. Thank you". You need to fill in the fields correctly. When you attempt to edit, you should be provided instructions. --Yamla (talk) 16:07, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

How do I find the ip adress or blocking admin? I apologize for not figuring this out. Can yo send me the page that shows me this template because I can't seem to find this. Thank you so much. Sorry Kbarrett723 (talk) 16:10, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't know how to find this information, though I'd expect it would show up when you attempt to edit. You can read up more on the template at Template:Unblock-auto. --Yamla (talk) 16:11, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Am I able to make the edit from my personal wikipedia (this one) instead of my work one it that one is problematic? I apologize for not understanding the issue. Please let me know if I can make these edits and then solve the request on my work account. Thank you Yamla, sorry about the stress Kbarrett723 (talk) 16:14, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

No. You'd still have a conflict of interest. You'd still be violating copyright. --Yamla (talk) 16:15, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I have been including citations so therefore I am not sure how the additions violate copyright. Would it be safe to add quatations to the entire edit? I have no problem doing this. I just want to make these changes as Kami requests but I wouldn't want to violate anything. Kbarrett723 (talk) 16:18, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

WP:COPYRIGHT and WP:FAIRUSE covers this. Unfortunately, none of this addresses your conflict of interest. If your goal here is to write about Y.Z. Kami, I'm afraid this is the end of the line. Sorry, I have to leave now so this will be my last response to you at this time. Hopefully there's enough for you to read about and, if you plan to write about other subject areas, to contest your block. --Yamla (talk) 16:27, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I don't think anyone has mentioned that this account is not blocked. Neither is the Mari Goldberg account, and neither is the IP address which has recently been contributing to Y.Z. Kami. The article itself has been semi-protected due to all the disruption. 199.208.172.35 (talk) 16:39, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

I should also point out, there's been a lot of inappropriate editing by you, by Mari Goldberg, and by 65.206.71.25 over on Y.Z. Kami. If you are related to that account or IP address, you've been violating WP:SOCK and need to disclose this. Even if not, your edits were problematic; see above. --Yamla (talk) 16:09, 27 October 2022 (UTC)

Blocked

Despite warnings, you have continued to violate WP:COI. I have blocked you indefinitely. --Yamla (talk) 14:49, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Hello, I am just checking to ask what I can do to remove the block and or undo this? I am not trying to break any rules, I am trying to be as careful as possible whilst properly editing this page as per request of the artist. Kbarrettart (talk) 14:56, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

You shouldn't be editing the article because the artist is requesting it. I would be willing to unblock you if you declare your conflict of interest (WP:COI) and avoid any more direct editing on subjects for which you have a conflict of interest. You'd still be free to suggest edits on the article's talk page. --Yamla (talk) 15:00, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Okay I can do that. I declare WP:COI. So now how can I have a section added without infringing this? Should I just paste the new section to the talk section if tge page and ask wikipedia to add this? It needs to be added so I just want please move on from this.Thank you. Kbarrettart (talk) 15:04, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Nothing needs to be added. I want to be clear, there's no guarantee any of your suggestions will result in people making the edits you request. You are literally offering suggestions, suggestions based on your conflict of interest. If your suggestions are accepted, it might not happen quickly. WP:COI explains how you can disclose your conflict of interest (which you can do here, before you are unblocked) and how to make edit requests (which you could do on the article's talk page, once unblocked). --Yamla (talk) 15:08, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

One quick question- I'm sorry this has become such a serious issue, I am trying to disclose the COI on my userpage but due to it being blocked, I cannot add anything to my userpage. How should I go about disclosing the COI with the template while being blocked? Kbarrettart (talk) 15:24, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

You can add it here, on your talk page. :) --Yamla (talk) 15:29, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

This user has publicly declared that they have a conflict of interest regarding the Wikipedia article Y.Z. Kami.

Kbarrettart (talk) 15:40, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Please let me know if that above was done correctly and if I may write for suggested edits to the page now. Kbarrettart (talk) 15:40, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

I have unblocked you, copied over your declaration to your userpage, and you are now free to suggest edits on the article talk page. Remember, no more direct edits to Y.Z. Kami. You will be expected to abide by WP:COI if you edit any other subjects, too. Welcome back. --Yamla (talk) 15:53, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Okay thank you. I have made note of this and will try to figure out how to make requests going forward instead. Thank you Kbarrettart (talk) 15:58, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

Blocked

Wikipedia's technical logs indicate that this user account has been or may be used abusively. It has been blocked indefinitely from editing to prevent abuse.
Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.
If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should review the guide to appealing blocks, and then appeal your block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}}. Note that anything you post in your unblock request will be public. You may instead email the Arbitration Committee at arbcom-enwikimedia.org with your username and appeal.

Administrators: Checkusers have access to confidential system logs not accessible by the public or by administrators due to the Wikimedia Foundation's privacy policy. Therefore, a Checkuser must be consulted before this block can be removed. Administrators undoing checkuser blocks without permission or the prior approval from a checkuser risk having their administrator rights removed by the Arbitration Committee (per this announcement).

Yamla (talk) 17:05, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

I am requesting an unblock as I have been taking the steps that I was advised to per Yamla and got blocked today Kbarrettart (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

Decline reason:

My use of the checkuser tool confirms that you have abused multiple accounts. PhilKnight (talk) 17:44, 28 November 2022 (UTC)

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
