User talk:CrowleyMaritime

March 2017

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.

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. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:10, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello CrowleyMaritime, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Crowley Maritime have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• 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. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• 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 can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

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, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 00:33, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Technical decline - new account created Peridon (talk) 20:06, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Hi, Diannaa, I edited the Crowley Maritime Corp. page on behalf of the company, under the username CrowleyMaritime. I only added factual information to update the company's profile from 2010-2013. I cited every fact and historical moment and kept the commentary brief, without use of "advertising" language. This morning I received notification that the CrowleyMaritime account was blocked and all the content was removed. Is it possible for me to retrieve all of the work I did in updating the company's page, but post it to the account under this new AmeliaSmith1 username? I want to follow the rules and update the company's page for all to reference online. Thanks! Amelia

Confused.

Dianna, I can edit the Sandbox using the username AmeliaSmith1, but the talk page says: "This user is currently blocked. The latest block log entry is provided below for reference: 00:10, 8 March 2017 Diannaa (talk | contribs) blocked CrowleyMaritime (talk | contribs) with an expiration time of indefinite (autoblock disabled)

Second, how can I reference the edits I made under the CrowleyMaritime username so I can add them to Crowley's wikipedia page using the AmeliaSmith1 username? Many thanks!

Unblock or provide direction, please
