Zscheiplitz[edit]

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Zscheiplitz, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://zscheiplitz.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Weissenburg, Zscheiplitz[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Weissenburg, Zscheiplitz, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement of https://zscheiplitz.com/offers/tours/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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.

Your addition to Weissenburg, Zscheiplitz has been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material to Wikipedia without evidence of permission from the copyright holder.

For legal reasons, Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted material, including text or images from print publications or from other websites, without an appropriate and verifiable license. All such contributions will be deleted. You may use external websites or publications as a source of information, but not as a source of content, such as sentences or images—you must write using your own words.

Promotion[edit]

Please stop trying to promote your business here – Wikipedia does not tolerate promotion of any kind, and our Terms of Use do not permit anyone with a financial interest in the topic to edit without disclosure. If I see one more attempt to promote Zscheiplitz, its castle/wine/abbey, or the family that owns it, I will ask for you to be blocked from editing as a promotion-only account. Thank you, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 10:15, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Avhahn - I am promoting a world-class monument of immense cultural importance. The text placed was very balanced and objective. Please stop bulling me and let the wiki community to decide. Shame on you!

August 2018[edit]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because it appears that you are not here to build an encyclopedia.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. TonyBallioni (talk) 13:34, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blocking[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:

Your reason here Avhahn (talk) 14:35, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your explanation below seems to be justifying leaving you blocked indefinitely for violating WP:COI and WP:PROMO. If you wish to be unblocked, you'll need to convince us that you've read and understood those policies, and won't engage in any further promotion. Yamla (talk) 14:52, 21 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.

My article dedicated to the world-class historical monument. I promote and encourage people to visit it, as well as many other historical places across Germany. Also, the article published in 2015 was severely edited and much inofrmation removed. The 'indefinite block' is unjust and unfair.

"I promote and encourage people to visit it"... "it" being a property owned by the von Hahn family? As you have been told, you are not allowed to use Wikipedia to promote private interests. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:57, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

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).

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

Request reason:

I stated the fact, not 'promote' my family in any ways. There are plenty of articles in WIKI stating that the castle so-and-so belongs to a particular family - what si wrong with it?

Further, the reason to delete the article in the first place was copyright violation, not 'promotion. It only appeared after all copyright issues were solved. I was not given time to rewrite the text or adjust it according to the requirements, although my second version published today was much shorter then the original text published earlier this week.

In general, there seems to be no tolerance or desire to clarify the issue before blocking and deleting. The only solution, it seems, is to prosecute and humiliate.

Thank you!

Decline reason:

The overwhelming majority of your edits since creating your account appear to have been to promote the Von Hahn family. Any unblock would be conditional on you agreeing to stop promoting your family's interests here. Since that still appears to be your only purpose, this appeal is declined.

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.

But you openly stated that you were promoting it. Twice. And your text was blatantly promotional - eg "Carried out by the Hahn family without any financial or material assistance from the state or the local community the restoration of the Kloster Zscheiplitz is a challenging project aimed at creating a viable and dynamic community of heritage enthusiasts from around the world". If that's not promoting your family's interests and evidence of a clear conflict of interest, then I don't know what is. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 15:18, 21 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

First of all please explain, how the statement regarding the restoration work without 'any financial or material assistance from the state or the local community' promoted my family? It is a fact, not a speculation.

Secondly, the text in question was removed by myself after the notification. It was omitted in my latest publication on Weissenburg. Please review your records.
