You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:VoxWorld.Coop, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

September 2015[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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.

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (I am new to Wiki and am learning your rules. I have no interest in it being promotional in nature. I gave a whole series of Citations but forgot to Save them - being new to Wiki postings - and being in Ireland just went to dinner but came back to find Citations not saved and your notice instead. I wrote the piece as the start of establishing what I hoped and still expect to be a long and fruitful relationship with Wiki - which I have always use for reference and greatly respect. I will learn what I need to learn by reading more of your guidance information as advised, and amend my text accordingly, plus add all the necessary Citations as evidence of VOX business name registrations and relationships. I have a strong social media presence in general and want to proceed to wiki books with you. If you require more information please ask, I will be happy to oblige. Regards, Richard O'Farrell, Social Innovator & Sociopreneur, VoxLabs & VoxWorld.Coop )--VoxWorld.Coop (talk) 18:38, 24 September 2015 (UTC) Richard O'Farrell, Social Innovator & Sociopreneur, VoxLabs & VoxWorld.Coop[reply]

No-one is saying you aren't to do with Vox - the problem is that we don't allow user names that appear to represent organisations, and unless that's 'coop' as in chicken rather than in 'co-op' yours does. On your user page, terms like 'new and dynamic' and 'promotes Communities as a force-for-change, uniquely...'are regarded as promotional. Things on Wikipedia must be neutral. Peridon (talk) 21:28, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Thank you, Yes, I am very aware of the material difference between social media and an encyclopaedia. I have re-read your Wiki notes again to fill in any gaps in my broader apparent misunderstandings. I had originally taken Wiki advices on board on dangers in use of personal names (“Wiki Guidance for new users”), so I chose the VoxWorld.Coop. Yes I am VoxWorld.Coop, a unique dedicated and open channel of ‘voice of the excluded’ (notably not ‘for’, which is advocacy). VoxWorld.Coop is my individual initiative and mine alone, one dedicated to enabling the voiceless in communities to find their own voice. Thus VoxWorld nor its domain name attachment is not a product, a group or a company or a cooperative. Everything I have done for 12 years has been unpaid work delivering new ideas and initiatives for global community development under that name. That’s not a business, more of an identifiable pen name. What differentiates it from all others are embodied as Vox (Voice of voiceless) World (Global reachout) and dot Coop ( a trusted domain among communities) into one name VoxWorld.Coop that is recognisable in related circles worldwide.

I feel a need to explain further, my apologies if overly lengthly or if you deem it unnecessary: I wanted to use VoxWorld.Coop as my Wiki username, no other as it embodies who I am, my purpose, which has been publically accepted internationally by NGOs including UN, UNESCAP, World Bank, MDBs, and Cooperative Orgs over a period of 12 years. I use the Coop domain because they promote principles and values for the disenfranchised that best reflect my beliefs, but there the similarity ends. VoxWorld.Coop’s individual and unique work (my work) in this area has been recognised by ABAC University in Thailand when they independently represented and evaluated the VoxWorld.Coop model at UNESCAP’s renowned Green Growth Forum in Bangkok 1997. That same year UNESCAP issued an invitation to VoxWorld.Coop, endorsed by World Bank, to attend the Conference at UN General Assembly in New York 1997 on Migration & Remittances. VoxWorld.Coop accepted invitations to make presentations to NGO Conferences worldwide, attended a FED meeting on global remittances in Atlanta, USA, and also in Manila, Philippines.


VoxWorld.Coop does not represent nor wish to represent any organisation, nor misrepresent anybody by using the most trusted domain name of the disadvantaged sector as a VoxWorld name attachment. It is not a formal organisation, it’s the name of an innovative idea of digital era, a worldwide community initiative. As a concept, the nearest reference point example in Wiki would perhaps be the “Mountain bike” – the first similar ‘organisation without an organisation’ and about which Charles Ledbetter has so eloquently spoken (the era of open innovation - video on collaborative creativity http://www.ted.com/talks/charles_leadbeater_on_innovation?language=en).

With your approval I am most happy to finish, to completely rewrite my earlier submission. Thank you. VoxWorld.Coop (talk) 08:02, 26 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

As the block notice says, "we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website". Your username is the URL of your website; at the very least, that must be changed. Secondly, your entire unblock request is promotional, as are your now-deleted Wikipedia drafts. --jpgordon::==( o ) 18:35, 28 September 2015 (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've sorted out the template above - you'd lost a bracket at both ends. Won't work without double brackets. Someone independent will look in now. Peridon (talk) 18:23, 28 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

I have carefully read your decision, together with the link you gave, and now fully comprehend all your reasons for your decision. I can now see that, regardless of what VoxWorld.Coop was or may or may not stand for, it might well be deemed by readers to give the impression that it represented a group or org or especially my website of same name.

Accordingly, in the first instance, may I request a change of username to one that I trust would better complies with your username policy - VoxWorld, instead of VoxWorld.Coop. And on your second ruling, being the adjudicated promotional text of username page, I am entirely happy to do a total rewrite for that VoxWorld user page, subject to your approval of course, and as follows: "Living in Ireland, Europe, I am a lifelong avid reader of books and also of Wikipedia ever since its foundation. A qualified CIMA Accountant, with international management and systems consulting experience over two decades, I am owner of a USA retail patent and have a particular interest in culture centres & showcases as well as community innovation activities. Throughout the past decade I have been involved in social innovation." I am entirely happy to amend this further if required.

May I finally add that I believe I have much to contribute to Wikipedia pages from my particular lifetimes experiences and skills, wherever I see significant or material shortfalls in published Wiki stories but only where the fuller facts are known to me from my own or others independently verifiable records. Such a shortfall was why I was so drawn to a wiki article on NPA's National Ploughing Championships this week, where original record was materially incomplete. It unfortunately led subsequently to an oversight on my part on username chosen and inadvertently to that promotional in nature user page that followed - due to my lack of familiarity with wiki rules in my first week. I trust I have made the appropriate corrections as advised and that you can accommodate me with these changes on this first occasion, while retaining those NPA page edits. With my sincere apologies for the disruption caused to both of you and Wiki this week. Thank you both for your guidance and patience with me in the meantime.VoxWorld.Coop (talk) 10:37, 29 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

Thank you for your consideration. As I deduct that to choose 'Vox' as a next logical alternative name that would mean something to me would probably also be refused for similar reasons, I accordingly have chosen 'eriuvation' instead, my individual twitter name for Ritchie O'Farrell, by which I'm only known to my family & friends. If that is unacceptable, then 'eriu' would be ok by me too. I trust that eriuvation is acceptable for you (or vox, or eriu), and the rest of the suggested script in name change communication remains the same. Thank you.VoxWorld.Coop (talk) 06:45, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

Accept reason:

Since for some reason the blocking administrator chose to allow you to continue to edit provided you changed your username, I am respecting that decision, and allowing a username change to requested username. However, before the block your editing was totally promotional: if it continues in the same way, you may be blocked again, no matter what username you use. Wikipedia is not a medium for promoting your organisation. (I also note that, despite the fact that on this page that "VoxWorld.Coop" is "a group or a company or a cooperative", and insisting that it is just you personally, on the page User:VoxWorld.Coop you referred to it both as a "group" and as an "organisation".) Please put this request for a username change in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Ballyhale, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Michael Fennelly.

Deletion pending for File:Mr Sean O'Farrell, Managing Director of National Ploughing Association (NPA) of Ireland meets President of French Republic, Charles De Gaulle, at 9th World Ploughing Championships in Grignon, Paris, France, 1961.jpeg[edit]

Hello, Eriuvation. Some time ago, a file you uploaded — File:Mr Sean O'Farrell, Managing Director of National Ploughing Association (NPA) of Ireland meets President of French Republic, Charles De Gaulle, at 9th World Ploughing Championships in Grignon, Paris, France, 1961.jpeg — was tagged with {{OTRS pending}}, indicating that you (or perhaps the copyright holder if you did not create this image) submitted a statement of permission to permissions-en@wikimedia.org. Though there is often a backlog processing messages received at this address, we should have received your message by now.

  • If you have not submitted (or forwarded) a statement of permission, please send it immediately to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.
  • If you have already sent this message, it is possible that there was a problem receiving it. Please re-send it to permissions-en@wikimedia.org and let us know at the OTRS noticeboard that you have done so.

If we don't hear from you within one week, the file will be deleted. If we can help you, please feel free to ask at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 14:45, 6 May 2016 (UTC) {{OTRS pending}}Eriuvation (talk) 13:31, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Mr Sean O'Farrell, Managing Director of National Ploughing Association (NPA) of Ireland meets President of French Republic, Charles De Gaulle, at 9th World Ploughing Championships in Grignon, Paris, France, 1961.jpeg[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Mr Sean O'Farrell, Managing Director of National Ploughing Association (NPA) of Ireland meets President of French Republic, Charles De Gaulle, at 9th World Ploughing Championships in Grignon, Paris, France, 1961.jpeg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use. {{OTRS pending}}Eriuvation (talk) 13:33, 12 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

  • Hi Eriuvation, I have commented out two {{OTRS pending}} tags on your talk page. These tags need to be placed on the file page or article talk page (including the talk page of draft articles) - NOT on your talk page. If there is a deleted item for which permission has been submitted to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, you can ask at WP:OTRSN for someone to look for the email and restore the article if they can find it. --B (talk) 01:33, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Dublin[edit]

I've reviewed your additions to the Dublin article. All those people are already mentioned in the arts section so a separate section in unnecessary and beside which those details you added are appropriate to their own article not to the city article. We don't need lots of details about all the topics listed in the article about the city. Thanks ww2censor (talk) 11:44, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your observations, I have relooked at your thinking. I believed that I was adding real value to the existing article by only selecting and briefly highlighting great Dublin born achievers of exceptional merit who had been recognised by exceptional international and rare Irish awards including Nobel Prizewinners for Literature, French Order of Merit, Order of the British Empire (MBE and Irish Oscar winners. These distinctions matter a great deal to Dublin people, living as we are on a small island and especially matter to our vast Diasporas. However, I do understand if you do not still agree with my point of view.Eriuvation (talk) 12:06, 10 May 2017 (UTC) Alternatively, would a separate page on Great Irish Prople be acceptable in principle to you, including only exceptional people of the past that were born in this country, separared by county and distinguished from famous others by being recipients of international awards of great merit such as I described earlier. I would appreciate your guidance in this matter. Thank you again.Eriuvation (talk) 13:13, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
We already have List of people from Dublin, so you suggestion is somewhat redundant though as a list it is not populated with lots of facts about the person, which are intended for their own articles. One should really keep the prose on point to the topic in question, especially as it is so easy to add links for readers to follow if they want more details. ww2censor (talk) 12:40, 11 May 2017 (UTC)Thank you, I understand and will act on your adviceEriuvation (talk) 07:36, 16 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
