Welcome!

Hello, Cjjusa1, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Carlos "Caique" Elias, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Carlos "Caique" Elias

A tag has been placed on Carlos "Caique" Elias, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹^Speak 06:26, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion I did not mark it, User:Suriel1981 did above. —Justin (koavf)❤T☮C☺M☯ 06:51, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Thechadl (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

No clear reason was provided for my block, only a generic assumption that I am violating Wikipedia rules by promoting a subject. I have written one NPOV, factual article (with verifiable external references) about a subject who clearly meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines. Every other person of similar or higher rank in Brazilian jiu-jitsu has a wikipedia page. To disclose any potential conflict of interest: I do not work, and have never worked, for this subject or any of his organizations. I am not paid by them in any way. I have attended the school as a student (as I have attended many different schools over the years). I would ask that you please stop making assumptions about my motivations and instead judge the page and the subject on its merits, compared to pages regarding other notable martial artists. I have read the rules regarding promotions, NPOV, and conflict of interest and it does not state that anything about certain usernames being banned unless they are offensive. Please either unblock me, or point SPECIFICALLY to the exact section of the rules which you feel I have violated (rather than to a document containing dozens of rules).

Decline reason:

A clear reason was provided for your block; you may disagree with the principal involved, but this is not the venue for that discussion. The unblock template is not to employed for discussions on the validity or viability of project policies and guidelines. Tiderolls 01:19, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Dude, seriously...your block is the result of your username choice. You picked a username that appears to be closely associated with the subject of the article you created. No one is accusing you of bringing any COI to the article; but your choice of username give that impression. This matter is very easily resolved if you address the issue of your block. Tiderolls 03:57, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, all I need to do is change my username? I will do that immediately. I just want to make sure that I won't be accused of sock puppetry if I participate in the discussion for the page in question (which was marked for deletion, IMHO, in violation of the "Primacy of basic content policies" policy. Cjjusa1 (talk) 04:02, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Your username is the immediate issue. COI concerns may have to be addressed, I don't want to mislead you. However, nothing can proceed if you are blocked. Please pick one of your unblock requests to remain active; or remove both and post a new one. Two unblock requests are unnecessary. Tiderolls 04:12, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This user is asking to be unblocked to request a change in username.

Thechadl (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

St1rfry (talk · account availability check · rename user)

Request reason:

Existing username gives appearance of promotional bias

Administrators should consider discussing any unblock with the blocking administrator (see the blocking policy).

Administrator use only:

If you ask the blocking administrator to comment on this request, please place {{subst:Unblock on hold-notification | 1=Thechadl}} on the administrator's talk page. Then replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un on hold | 1=blocking administrator | 2=St1rfry | 3=Existing username gives appearance of promotional bias | 4=~~~~}}

If you accept the unblock request, replace this template with the following:

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=St1rfry | reason=Existing username gives appearance of promotional bias | accept=Allowing username change to requested username. Please select an option from [[Wikipedia:Changing username]] and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. ~~~~}}

If you decline the unblock request, replace this template with the following, replacing {{subst:Decline reason here}} with any specific rationale. If you do not edit the text after "decline=", a default reason why the request was declined will be inserted.

{{unblock-un reviewed | 1=St1rfry | reason=Existing username gives appearance of promotional bias | decline={{subst:Decline reason here}} ~~~~}}

I've slightly refactored your post as declined unblock requests aren't to be deleted while the block is active. This is purely a procedural matter; you can delete and add/repost your unreviewed unblock requests as you see fit. Tiderolls 04:21, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, do I need to do anything now? Cjjusa1 (talk) 04:49, 7 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
