If I create a biographical page for Hazelle Rollins, and don't mention or have a page for Puppetry Arts (which is considered advertising and promoting) is it still a conflict of interest? With my new username no one would know of a connection and I wouldn't be promoting our organization. What needs to be done so that a page for Hazelle Rollins can be created? Could someone else (outside of our organization) create it, without mentioning us? Thank you. Why is this page /info/en/?search=Center_for_Puppetry_Arts "Center for Puppetry Arts" in Atlanta, Georgia, not considered advertising, and allowed to remain on Wikipedia, but the page I created "Puppetry Arts Institute" isn't. Their page is similar to Puppetry Arts, with far more wording, and their page describes their business and services. How do we not know their organization set their page up? After looking at their page, and the page of many businesses and retailers on Wikipedia, which detail their business practices, I would now like to appeal to have the page "Puppetry Arts Institute" considered for publication on Wikipedia.

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.
- Please see other stuff exists. It is usually a poor argument to cite other similar articles as a reason for yours to exist too. Because this is a volunteer project where people do what they can when they can, it is possible to get inappropriate articles by us. We can only address what we know about. The article that you cite is tagged as problematic itself. This is why each article or draft is judged on its own merits.
- You don't seem to understand conflict of interest. You are supposed to tell us if you have any connections to the topics of your edits. Conflict of interest is not just about promotion and advertising. It is about the appearance of influence on your edits or that you are here for reasons other than improving this neutral encyclopedia. 331dot ( talk) 14:00, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
I respect your right to maintain and uphold your rules and guidelines, but my initial intent was not for profit, promotion or advertising. I understand the actions here are a result of your interpretation of my intent, as a possible conflict of interest. In following the established guidelines, I want to state for the record that I don't agree that "promotion and self gain" is my intent in providing information, and that as an unpaid volunteer for a non-profit organization, there would be no promoting of the business for my personal gain. My other question has not been answered yet. Can someone else create pages on wikipedia for Hazelle Rollins or about our organization if they have no affiliation with us and are not paid by us to do so? If that's the case, I argue that no matter who writes a page, it can promote or advertise a business, even without the business's knowledge. Thank you.
Decline reason:
Please read through our conflict of interest guideline before making further requests. Our definition of conflict of interest is broad, and includes any and all relationships that you may have with a subject, including work as an unpaid volunteer. signed, Rosguill talk 18:53, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia exists as, in essence, a content aggregator that summarizes what independent reliable sources have chosen on their own to say about a topic, showing how it meets the relevant special Wikipedia definition of notability, with a neutral point of view. Summarizing what already existing sources state in a neutral manner is not advertising or promotion. Wikipedia is not a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves or those associated with them. Any organization is free to do that on its own website or social media accounts. I would strongly suggest that you review the policies and links on this page and in this post for more information before attempting to request unblock again. If you make another request, and are interested in being a general, individual contributor, please tell what topics you want to edit about that are completely unrelated to your conflict of interest. If you are only interested in making edits related to your conflict of interest, there is nothing more to be done here. We're trying to help you understand, but you need to meet us halfway. 331dot ( talk) 21:45, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:
Thank you, I've read the guidelines and links you've suggested. I'm surprised you said I haven't met you half-way. I think I've been patient and respectful and am trying to understand and just asking for your help in figuring things out. In my appeal to be unblocked, I'm assuring you at this time that: I've disclosed that I'm not receiving any compensation for my contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia: Paid-contribution disclosure requirement. I have tried to convince you that I understand the reason for the block and that I want to adhere to your guidelines and follow them. If unblocked, I would like to edit and correct factual errors and provide documentation on various Wikipedia pages related to history, the performing arts, movies and tv, classic literature, and religion. I would like to edit pages now and show you that I can do that, but how can I when you have me blocked? You still have not answered my question as to whether pages for Puppetry Arts Institute or Hazelle Rollins can ever be submitted. If not by myself, can another person create them? 0r are you blocking those page topics making it impossible for anyone to do that? I think Hazelle deserves a presence on Wikipedia. What has to be done in order for those pages to be submitted by someone else? Thank you.
Accept reason:
Your name has been changed, and you appear to understand that you cannot create or edit articles related to Puppetry Arts Institute or Hazelle Rollins, or any other topic in which you may have an actual or perceived conflict of interest, which would include those articles in the category Category:Puppetry. If you do create or edit in the Puppetry category you are liable to be blocked indefinitely. After six months of productive editing in other areas you may appeal the restriction on editing in the category Category:Puppetry. This has been noted on the block log.

- Someone will review your request. No one is blocking anyone from writing about those topics. Anyone without a conflict of interest is completely free to write about any subject they take note of in independent reliable sources, including Rollins and your organization. While you won't be unblocked to edit about those topics in the short term, if you spend time developing a good edit history demonstrating that you understand Wikipedia guidelines(six months to a year minimum), you might later be permitted to submit drafts in areas where you have a conflict of interest. But you won't be unblocked to make COI related edits now.
- I will add that Wikipedia is not concerned with whether any topic "deserves a presence" here(there are some subjects where it is possible to take the opposite view, that a topic does not deserve it, but we cover them too); it's solely up to the coverage in independent reliable sources. Wikipedia is not concerned with telling the world about people, or recognizing their careers in some way- just summarizing the sources.

- Thank you,331dot. I understand wikipedia's purpose is not to promote any person or idea. In saying Hazelle Rollins deserves a page, I meant that there is no information about her on wikipedia for researchers, puppeteers and collectors, so the information should be available.
I am still appealing at this time to be unblocked so I can do editing and provide reliable sources for data on various pages of Wikipedia, not related to my conflict of interest topics/intended pages. I also understand someone else other than myself (and outside of my organization) would have to create pages for which there is a perceived conflict of interest.
