User talk:CarpetJam

Welcome!

Hello, CarpetJam, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your recent edits did not conform to Wikipedia's verifiability policy, and may have been removed. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations verified in reliable, reputable print or online sources or in other reliable media. Always provide a reliable source for quotations and for any material that is likely to be challenged, or it may be removed. Wikipedia also has a related policy against including original research in articles.

If you are stuck and looking for help, please see the guide for citing sources or come to The Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Hello, I'm Aintabli. I noticed that you added or changed content in an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so. You can have a look at referencing for beginners. If you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. Aintabli (talk) 19:56, 27 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:CarpetJam/sandbox

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:CarpetJam/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.

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page.

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

Request reason:

I apologize for using a source that was not reliable. I understand the importance of verifiability and reliability in Wikipedia. I promise to double-check my sources in the future and ensure they meet Wikipedia's standards. Can you please reconsider the block?

Decline reason:

Duplicate request.331dot (talk) 20:29, 30 September 2023 (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.

Requested username:

Arthur Aghadjanians (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that my previous edits and username were promotional and against Wikipedia's guidelines. I was not compensated for any of my edits. I genuinely want to contribute to Wikipedia articles related to ancient history and literature. I assure that I'll adhere to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines in the future.

Decline reason:

I have validated you do indeed have a conflict of interest (WP:COI) and do indeed count as a paid editor (WP:PAID). The time for you to be open and honest about this was before you were blocked. That you still aren't doing so even now is quite concerning. Yamla (talk) 20:32, 30 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I will no longer use fake sources or post articles for advertising CarpetJam (talk) 19:33, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Really, both of those offenses are prohibitive of your returning. The second worst thing possible on Wikipedia is fake articles (real articles with fake information is worse.) Your only chance is the standard offer, which will give you the chance to prove your reliability on other Wikimedia projects. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:55, 2 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
