Speedy deletion nomination of User:Spinalnettech/sandbox[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Spinalnettech/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

August 2018[edit]

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. clpo13_(talk) 22:20, 23 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Unblock[edit]

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).

Request reason:

first timer on wiki... I thoughtsandbox was just to test before posting... I am mot tryi g to asvertise but to help add to the community... I copied that from a website for filler about a back brace.. I certainly understand whu you guys may think it was advertising but it wasn t my intention i set up account added filler to look into further when i had more time... A sandbox in the IT world is a closed testing environment... Which is what i thought that was....sorry that I did wrong and understand... Sorry for typos on phone Spinalnettech (talk) 02:54, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You have not proposed a new username as instructed to above; your username cannot be that of a business per the username policy. Your sandbox is an area to test edit or draft articles, but edits to it are visible to all Wikipedia users, and promotional editing(which includes merely telling people about something) is not acceptable anywhere on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is only interested in what independent reliable sources state about an article subject. Please read WP:PROMO, WP:COI, and WP:PAID. To be unblocked, you will need to indicate that you have read and understand those pages, and tell what it is you want to edit about, as you won't be permitted to edit about your company or its products. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 09:51, 24 August 2018 (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.

I would add that you will find it much easier to edit extensively (such as writing an article) if you do so on a desktop/laptop computer and not a phone. 331dot (talk) 09:51, 24 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Alphabetman409 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am requesting to be unblocked because I did not intend to break of the rules and guidelines. I wanted to see what it took to get content created on Wikipedia. I am fully understanding of the rules and guidelines. I am going to attempt to contribute to Wikipedia on a few different levels when it comes to Scoliosis. When parents find out what scoliosis is they freak out and don’t know where to run to for knowledge. Surgeons don’t help the matter when they push surgery on young kids with Scoliosis. So i hope contribute to Wikipedia and help spread knowledge and case studies that show that bracing kids at night time will have great results. I initially was checking how to post content and was not trying to advertise. I grabbed information from a website and I walked away to check out when I got home. A Sandbox in my world of Information Technology is a testing environment so once again I do apologize and see that it wasn’t a way to test.

Decline reason:

You make it clear that your purpose here is to promote your point of view on a particular topic, which is not acceptable. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:56, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Please put new posts at the bottom of the page. Putting them near the top can cause confusion over the chronology of different messages. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 12:56, 28 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

To whom it may concern. From the log of this block i have been apologetic, and i am aware of my mistake. I am not trying to advertise or only give my point of view. I am looking to be informative. Can i be given a chance to write something up? I mean i literally just signed up copied and pasted something. Then my username was an issue to you guys which i am asking to change i have no problem. Majority of my online accounts contain nettech, so i added to my username since it was used. It didnt include a company name or anything along those lines. Can i be given the chance to prove myself?

Decline reason:

When you "copied and pasted something", you violated copyright. Irrespective of that, if your sole purpose is to promote this technology, it's better for Wikipedia that you remain blocked. And yes, even without the copyright issue posting stuff from the website of the company which sells it is promoting it. Huon (talk) 21:31, 10 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Globally renamed 'Spinalnettech' to 'Alphabetman409'. Just Chilling (talk) 23:12, 31 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I doubt anyone would consider unblocking you unless you specifically agree not to post about the "nocturnal scoliosis" you'd posted about before, per obvious WP:COI. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 20:04, 30 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello admin, I am glad i was at least able to get the username change which is one thing we needed to have changed. As i stated before i made a mistake and i am hoping we can move forward. I would not be posting about "Nocturnal brace" as stated by the last admin to comment. I will not be posting to self promote, My intentions are to use wikipedia for what it is to be used. I am just hoping you guys can give me a small chance. I am not here to cause harm, abuse the rules, self promote, spam, or give you guys extra work to do. I know if i was to get unblocked you guys will have me under a microscope which would be extremely fair. It was my first time attempting to do anything on wiwi and i unfortunately took the"sandbox" as a testing environment and not expecting any repercussions since it was something i was going to work on later after i got the account created. testing. In this long ban period i was just looking at a way to show you guys i am not here to cause harm to the wiki community. I hope we can get this resolved and unblocked. I would greatly appreciate it.

Accept reason:

Please do avoid doing any editing for which you have a conflict of interest, otherwise you are free to keep improving Wikipedia. Jayron 32 18:31, 25 September 2018 (UTC)[reply]
