Autobiographies

Please do not write or add to an article about yourself, as you apparently did at Draft:Clay Cane. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

References

Adding references is how we ensure that content is valid. References are especially important forwp:Biographies of living persons (BLP). Without references, a reader can not easily validate information and there is no presumption of accuracy. See Help:Referencing for beginners and Help:footnotes. This is covered by the Wikipedia policy of wp:verifiability (WP:V). Please wp:cite your edits with wp:reliable sources (RS). Per WP:V unsourced content can be removed.

Problems with upload of File:Claycanetheview2.JPG

Thanks for uploading File:Claycanetheview2.JPG. You don't seem to have said where the image came from, who created it, or what the copyright status is. We require this information to verify that the image is legally usable on Wikipedia, and because most image licenses require giving credit to the image's creator.

To add this information, click on this link, then click the "Edit" tab at the top of the page and add the information to the image's description. If you need help, post your question on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

For more information on using images, see the following pages:

Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 05:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

February 2024

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Clay Cane, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You must stop editing your own article because of your obvious WP:COI. You may propose changes to the article Talk page, but if you persist in editing the article directly, you risk being blocked. Bbb23 (talk) 15:08, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I am confused, changes were made to the bio and you appeared to delete them. Why? Ccane95 (talk) 15:11, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

How can you possibly be confused? My comments above are crystal clear: stop editing the article.--Bbb23 (talk) 15:59, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You deleted half the page. I was doing simple edits to an old bio and uploaded a new photo. I also made grammar corrections. I wasn't promoting anything; I was stating facts. Who exactly are you, and why are you policing my content? Ccane95 (talk) 16:06, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistently making disruptive edits.

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 ~~~~}}. Bbb23 (talk) 22:31, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I need my page deleted. I don't want my content, especially incorrect information about me, on Wikipedia. Thank you. Ccane95 (talk) 22:48, 12 February 2024 (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).

Ccane95 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Please remove this page on me, Clay Cane There is incorrect information and I am being blocked for changing it. Please delete the page completely. Ccane95 (talk) 22:55, 12 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Article subject's do not get to exclusively decide if Wikipedia has an article about them, any more than they could prevent The New York Times from writing about them. If you wish to argue that you are not notable according to how we define notability, that's a possibility, but there would be a community discussion, it's not up to you. If there are errors in the article about you, we want to know what those are, but you should be making edit requests, not directly editing about yourself in most cases. You will need to agree to pursue your grievances using Wikipedia processes, and to refrain from edit warring. Please also read the autobiography policy. 331dot (talk) 00:20, 13 February 2024 (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.

Editing on your own or someone else's behalf

Please see Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons/Help for more information.

Wikipedia's policy on how to handle material about living persons, biographies of living persons, applies to every page on the project, including talk pages. If Wikipedia has published material about you, or someone you represent, and you need help, you can:

post a correction on the article's talk page and ask that it be implemented;
ask for assistance at the biographies of living persons noticeboard;
place {{adminhelp}} on your user talk page, which will attract an administrator;
contact the Wikimedia Foundation's team of volunteers at info-en-q@wikimedia.org, with a link to the page and details of the problem.

`

"All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking."

Please discuss content and sourcing on article talk page and achieve consensus for any changes Please make WP:EDITREQUESTs on the article's talk page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 00:15, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Claycanetheview3.JPG

A tag has been placed on File:Claycanetheview3.JPG requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a copyright violation of https://www.instagram.com/sourcebooks/p/C2ztNa4rHJS/ and has no credible claim of fair use or permission. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Wikipedia and copyright

Hello Ccane95! While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues.

You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
We have strict guidelines on the usage of copyrighted images. Fair use images must meet all ten of the non-free content criteria in order to be used in articles, or they will be deleted. To be used on Wikipedia, all other images must be made available under a free and open copyright license that allows commercial and derivative reuse.
If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into either the public domain (PD) or under a suitably free and compatible copyright license. Please see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps described at Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia. See also Help:Translation#License requirements.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, please ask them here on this page, or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Whpq (talk) 02:49, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hello - I just need the entire page deleted. There is incorrect information that I cannot change, it's copied from an old bio. Can this please be deleted? Ccane95 (talk) 03:12, 13 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
