October 2016[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. We welcome and appreciate your contributions, including your edits to Influence peddling, but we cannot accept original research. Original research refers to material—such as facts, allegations, ideas, and personal experiences—for which no reliable, published sources exist; it also encompasses combining published sources in a way to imply something that none of them explicitly say. Please be prepared to cite a reliable source for all of your contributions. Thank you. NewEnglandYankee (talk) 17:33, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:CorrrectTheRecord, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which 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. 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 removed 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.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I do not actually work for Correct the Record. The name and user page are meant to be satirical.) --CorrrectTheRecord (talk) 18:06, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedians contribute to an encyclopedia. Unlike Twitter, we don't have satire accounts. Your deliberate parody isn't acceptable, either. You're not here to contribute and Wikipedia is not a playground for your opinion. Chris Troutman (talk) 18:21, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016[edit]

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

  • 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.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. -- GB fan 18:13, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I am not part of a company or organization, nor am I editing on behalf of any business or organization. My username is intended to satirical

Decline reason:

Your edits, however, are afoul of our neutral point of view policy, and verge on vandalism. We're not interested at all in your political opinions. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 20:00, 31 October 2016 (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.

I can reblock you as a vandalism only account because that is all you have done. -- GB fan 18:19, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
I am not engaging in vandalism, I am attempting to contribute information about the Wikileaks revelations of Clinton Foundation corruption. CorrrectTheRecord (talk) 18:24, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
How is linking to Hillary Clinton on the Political corruption, Pay to play, Bribery and Influence peddling pages in the see also section not vandalism and BLP violations? -- GB fan 18:40, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Your political opinions don't matter here on wikipedia. You are clearly here to post your political feelings. See WP:NPOV for more information. FixCop (talk) 19:41, 31 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
