File permission problem with File:Crack Pie produced by Milk Bar.jpg
editThanks for uploading File:Crack Pie produced by Milk Bar.jpg, which you've sourced to http://www.shopmilkbar.com/shipping/shop/crack-pie/. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.
If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to [email protected], stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to [email protected].
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Dianna (talk) 23:22, 22 February 2013 (UTC)

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).
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.
- Adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 10:29, 1 March 2013 (UTC)Momomilkbar (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Requested username:
Decline reason:
Here are a few key questions:
- Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
- Do you understand conflict of interest?
- Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?
You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Max Semenik (talk) 17:21, 1 March 2013 (UTC)

Requested username:
Decline reason:
I understand and appreciate the Wikipedia policies mentioned above. I am not building this page to promote a business but rather to describe a notable person. I will make sure not to violate Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy. Please unblock my account so that I can continue building this page according to Wikipedia's standards.

Requested username:
Decline reason:
I am writing to appeal the block on my Wikipedia account. In the past week, I have researched the conflict of interest guidelines and I understand why my account was flagged. The username was a poor choice made by a wikipedia rookie, I did not know all of the rules when I began editing a draft page (which is why I began it as a draft, hoping to give myself enough time to bring it up to Wiki standards). Unfortunately, it looks like I will now not be allowed to contribute to the community at all due to a poor choice made while still learning my way around. The article that I have been working on was not meant to read as promotional - I have worked really hard to gather relevant sources and to maintain neutrality when writing it, and only meant to contribute information about a notable public figure while learning my way around editing process. I would like to have my username changed or be allowed to create a new username that conforms to the community guidelines, as was indicated would be possible when the block was initially made to my account. I have already addressed the issue on my talk page regarding photo usage, and I have gained permissions for the photo uploaded to the page from Wiki admin Stephen Philbrick by providing proof that the photographer had allowed the photo to be licensed appropriately. I am happy to work with any editors or administrators to ensure that my participation in the community is not disruptive or damaging to wikipedia. Please let me know if this is possible. The username I requested is DonnaGold.
Thanks, Donna — Preceding unsigned comment added by Momomilkbar (talk • contribs)
- No, you are not blocked "due to a poor choice made while still learning my way around". You are blocked because every indication is that your sole intention here is to promote the Momofuku Milkbar. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:02, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
