{{Unblock on hold |1=blocking administrator |2=Dear Admin, I’m writing this unblock request in hope I’ll be unblocked from editing wikipedia. I was blocked because of a non-free use violation. What happened was that I was drafting my first article in my sandbox and I was looking for other properly written and similar Wikipedia articles, and they all had images. For that reason I asked the copyright owners of the logo of the company I was drafting about to give me permission to upload it to wikipedia, which they did. Therefore I uploaded the image as a non-free use content and naively included it in my sandbox to see how the draft would look like once it would be moved into an article. A couple days later the image was declared as an orphaned non-free image and was removed from my sandbox. As the notification said that the image could only be used as a claim of fair use I thought what I was doing would fall into that category. The notification also claimed that I could add it back if I thought it would be useful, which I actually thought was true. So the image was removed under the [[WP:NFCC#7]] which I was aware because [[User:TheGreatestLuvofAll]] had explained it to me in my talk page. He also said “Non-free files should be used in articles, not user pages, drafts, or anything else except articles.”. But I once again thought it could be considered fair use so my first mistake was not exploring the guidelines any further and not discussing it more. Then my major error was adding the image back which now I’ve realized I was violating [[WP:NFCC#9]]. I’m now aware that whenever I get to a similar situation in the future where I realize I might not know the proper way to act accordingly the wikipedia policies, I will find the proper way to address the issue and discuss it until I have fully understood what I needed to do and learn as [[User:Wikiacc]] taught me. I believe a further step that could improve wikipedia and minimize blocks for the same reason could be a notification about [[WP:NFCC#9]] when an image is removed from non articles, I was also not aware I could have been blocked indefinitely for my acts which would have made me search for clarification before making this mistake. So it would be good to have an explanation of the problem, the consequences of not following it and a possible solution for what editors in good faith might be trying to do. I know the wikipedia guidelines are strict and must be followed, I also am aware that I don’t know all of the rules, and I hope you understand that I’ve been an editor for less than 20 days. I’m a fan of the wikipedia organization and I respect It deeply. I’m in wikipedia because I’ve been an avid user since I remember, and there were many time I thought I could clarify, expand or include new articles (mainly regarding music), so that’s why I decided to start editing recently. I also never intended to abuse the wikipedia guidelines or acted in bad faith or intended to disrupt and damage any type of knowledge. If this reason does not fit your unblocking criteria, I would like to request a clearer explanation of what do I have to learn in order to become a better editor, and hopefully be unblocked in the future. |3 = ~~~~}}
