Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created WPAN, and I noticed that your username, "BlabTV", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually (not your role), such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 18:09, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

February 2022

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
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.

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|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. Star Mississippi 18:11, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Renamed

Renamer note: Renamed per request --Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:29, 7 February 2022 (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).

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

Request reason:

The information on the WPAN page is factually incorrect. I edited it to ensure it was accurate. I have reread my changes, and don't understand what is considered to be promotional. The information I wrote on the page is consistent with the content of other TV station's Wikipedia pages.

Decline reason:

Describing your company as "the market leader" is clearly promotional. If all you want to do is write about your company, you will not be unblocked. Please read WP:COI. — Voice of Clam 21:49, 7 February 2022 (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:

Request reason:

Thank you. I think I understand. I will change the copy to say the station broadcasts local sports and name the teams, and correct the factual errors.

Decline reason:

Since you say you only want to edit about your company, there are no grounds to remove the block. 331dot (talk) 18:59, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Actually, I don't care if I'm blocked or not. I don't want to be an editor. As a user, I tried to update and correct information on the page. I'm sure Wikipedia doesn't want to disseminate false information, but that's exactly what you're doing. If you're not going to correct the false information on the page, please take it down.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Blocking admin comment an uninvolved editor is welcome to update the information, or file a request for deletion. I will remove the unsourced information from WPAN. We rely on secondary sourcing, which is present in Blab Television, and cannot use the corporate bio you tried to add, which also violated copyright.

Requested username:

Your proposed new username (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

It is factually incorrect that WPAN-TV broadcasts paid programming except for 2am to 6am each day. It is factually incorrect that the "Affiliations" of channel 53.1 is infomercials. The Affiliations on 53.1 is Blab-TV. It is correct that 53.2 is TCT, and 53.3 is Antenna TV.

It is factually incorrect that under Digital channels, 53.1's programming is Infomercial. I trust you will delete the Wikipedia pages for local stations in Pensacola/Mobile, including WEAR-TV, WKRG-TV, WALA-TV, and WPMI-TV for the exact same reasons you removed the description of WPAN-TV.

@Star Mississippi: Could you revoke DougBBlabTV's talk page access? He's getting to be annoying. Mvcg66b3r (talk) 21:53, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I've done so. @DougBBlabTV if you choose to pursue UTRS, please keep in mind what has been said above regarding uninvolved editors and reliable sourcing. Star Mississippi 22:19, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
