Good evening. You've nominated this article for deletion sighting self promotion. But if you've noticed the several articles from Uganda and the few contributors, the question of notability varies. This page was approved by someone else not the one who created it and over time has been edited by other editors. When you talk of self promotion, I'm currently working on the kumusha project where we teach people to create pages and encourage them to add information to these pages since they have access to information that other people may not have. Should such communities or workers in those organisation stop contributing because the work is about them? I have made a number of artices on Wikipedia and read the page on notability, you will notice that it took over a year and a half to have the page approved and it was rejected over eight times. The issue of self promotion would stand. But if we do not contribute articles about what we know and expect others to create them, where will they come from? up to now you'll notice that Ugandan content has not been fully represented. Look at the writers, musicians, actors .... Are you discouraging them to make pages. There are many pages where more links are required but not the one in question.--Faintsmoke (talk) 20:18, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion declined: Jane Musoke-Nteyafas

Hello Cartney23, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Jane Musoke-Nteyafas, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: surviving WP:AFD - no matter how long ago - makes a page ineligible for A7. If you are interested in learning more about how speedy deletion works, I have compiled a list of helpful pages at User:SoWhy/SDA. You can of course also contact me if you have questions. Thank you.

Unblock IP request

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Cartney23 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I am using Google's Outline VPN to connect to the internet because social media is blocked in my country, Uganda. Today when I tried to edit a page I was informed my IP address range is blocked (the Outline app shows my IP as 35.189.114.140:49484). But this is not because of anything untoward I have done: my edits have always been constructive and my contributions to this encyclopedia lean towards making it a more authoritative and legitimate source of information. Blocking my IP makes it hard for me to continue doing so, and forces me to rely on unsafe and undemocratic protocols monitored by my country's regulator. I noticed I was blocked when I was trying to edit this article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ngoma_drums I wish to continue editing it. Please consider my editing history which is non-disruptive.Cartney23 (talk) 10:27, 23 June 2019 (UTC)

Accept reason:

IPBE granted - see below — O Still Small Voice of Clam 12:29, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exempt

I have granted your account an exemption from IP blocking for a period of 12 months. This will allow you to edit through full blocks affecting your IP address when you are logged in.

Please read the page Wikipedia:IP block exemption carefully, especially the section on IP block exemption conditions.

Appropriate usage and compliance with the policy may be checked (through the use of CheckUser) periodically, due to the nature of block exemption, and block exemption will be removed when no longer needed (for example, when the block it is related to expires).

I hope this will enhance your editing, and allow you to edit successfully and without disruption. — O Still Small Voice of Clam 12:29, 23 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

July 2024

You have been blocked temporarily from editing for violations of Wikipedia's biographies of living persons policy. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please review Wikipedia's guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Johnuniq (talk) 02:09, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This is a short block per the warning in my edit summary in the history at Talk:David Gerard (author). To spell it out, no page at Wikipedia is available for soap-boxing with personal opinions regarding living people (WP:BLP). The fact that the person is connected with Wikipedia and the opinions are related to that means that WP:HARASS also applies. Contributors at Wikipedia have to stick to calm discussion of what reliable sources say. Johnuniq (talk) 02:09, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
