[edit]
Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Hi SuperMarioMan and Anthony, my name is Carly Walsh and I am trying to create the Wikipedia page for Celerity, a notable consulting company based in McLean, Virginia. I am deeply sorry for breaking the username rules! I should have done more research prior to creating the account. In no way was I trying to abuse Wikipedia. My goal is to create an unbiased, factual history and overview of Celerity. I will not misuse the submission by treating it like a business directory. There will be no phone numbers or contact information. If you look at the latest edits, you can see there is no biased language and there are many reputable outside-source references. It would mean so much to me if my account could be unblocked. I am truly sorry for not abiding by the username policy! Thank you for your help! :)

Decline reason:

Redundant request. User has created a new account (per [1]), as allowed by a softblock.(non-admin closure) --Mdann52talk to me! 14:39, 14 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Here's a few key questions:

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a subject that you are trying to create an article about, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to break the 3 important questions above.--Anthony Bradbury"talk" 16:10, 23 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Carly, welcome to Wikipedia. Let me just say that you do not need another unblock request to add additional comments, so your second request will probably be denied. However, I believe you should be unblocked so you can consider improving your draft.
As I am not an administrator, I cannot unblock you myself. However, I can give you some advice about how you can improve your draft. It seems like a lot, but there are many people here who can help you.
  • Full citations: Bare URLs (URLs without bibliographic information) in citations are frowned upon because they are susceptible to link rot. You should add information like author, title, and date. (Go to the introduction to referencing to learn an easy way to do this with consistent formatting.)
  • Timeline: Histories should be presented in prose, rather than lists of events. Concerning the actual events, if they have not been reported in independent reliable sources, they are probably too trivial and should be removed.
  • Press releases: Keep in mind that press releases, even if they are published by independent publishers, are not independent sources. So, they can be used, but they should not be overused. You should replace them with independent citations (such as news or magazine articles) if you can.
  • 2014 National Geographic Awards: The citations for NG's awards from the Interactive Media Awards and Guinness Book of World Records do not mention Celerity at all. As a result, readers can verify that National Geographic won those awards, but they cannot verify that Celerity had anything to do with it. You should add citations that demonstrate Celerity's role in NG earning these awards.
As you might figure, most of this can only be done after you are unblocked. But you can still do some of the research in the meantime. Anon126 (notify me of responses! / talk / contribs) 21:52, 28 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hello again. I got your message on AIM. You asked for advice on getting your account unblocked and getting the approval of an administrator.

Your unblock request is the first step in getting an administrator to unblock you. All open unblock requests are gathered automatically for administrators to review, and one will come soon. Other than that, the best way to convince an administrator is to show that you understand Wikipedia's rules. You seem to be on the right track, but, as I said before, you still have some way to go with your draft. I suggest describing what independent sources you will add to your draft, to show that you understand rules like notability.

(For future reference, you should try to keep discussion on Wikipedia, where it is public. Transparency is valued here. If you are still blocked, you can still notify me of a response by leaving a message on this page and following the instructions at User:Anon126/R [also linked in my signature].)

Thank you for your help! It is much appreciated. I took your advice and turned the listed sections into prose. I also took out the awards that did not have proper references (Ektron and Nielson Norman).

New account: Carlywgwu

[edit]

This user has created a new account at User:Carlywgwu. I assume this is okay because {{uw-softerblock}} states that the user can create a new user account without going through WP:CHU. In this case, I believe the unblock request here should be declined so she can continue editing under the new name.
