Request reason:

Hi. I do not understand why I have been blocked. I work as head of communication for the Pstereo festival in Trondheim, and was simply updating the history of the festival - as it is my job. We have been receiving comments from our audience that it would be interesting for them and upcoming fans to read about our history. Secondly - the pictures I've uploaded are ours, and ours to use. They work for us as volunteers, and as long as the photographer is credited, we may used the images for whatever purpose the festival wishes. You may check out our homepage (www.pstereo.no) and flickr (https://www.flickr.com/photos/pstereo/) for more info and picture. I'm sincerely asking you unblock me so I can continue updating our festival's history! Pstereojon (talk) 16:42, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Firstly, you need to read WP:PAID, and make a disclosure. Due to your conflict of interest you should not be making direct edits to the article, but should be making talk page requests for changes instead. You have been blocked as your changes to date have not been neutral, and have been promotional. Secondly, images used on Wikipedia need to have a free license, the pictures you describe do not, and as such should not be used. PhilKnight (talk) 21:41, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
