User talk:GoldthreadTonics

Welcome![edit]

Hello, GoldthreadTonics, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:GoldthreadTonics/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:GoldthreadTonics/sandbox[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:GoldthreadTonics/sandbox, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 03:51, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

September 2023[edit]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the 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.
Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

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|reason=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. Bishonen | tålk 08:12, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Request reason:

My intention in creating this page was not to promote Goldthread as a company, and I apologize for publishing without an understanding of the guidelines. I now understand that external links to brands are considered spam/advertising. My intention is to create a page for the herbalist and acupuncturist William Siff and I viewed his brand site as a source, which I know understand is incorrect. I too am an herbalist, and intend to create and edit pages surrounding this topic, including modern-day herbalists like Sarah Kate Benjamin author of Kosmic Kitchen, and Spencre McGowan author of Forest & Home. I had volunteered to write an article on Siff as my first topic, and they offered me use of a wikipedia account they created which I now realize was a mistake. This is account is not representing their brand and I will ensure that any language or links that are viewed as promotional are removed from the page. Thank you for the thorough explanation of how I did not follow guidelines, so for future articles I can ensure I am compliant. GoldthreadTonics (talk) 19:06, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Since multiple people have had access to this account, it can't be unblocked. We can change the block to permit you to create an account for yourself. You seem to have a conflict of interest in writing about William Siff and/or his brand if you have been in communication with them; please read that policy and tell us in a new request what edits you will make going forward. 331dot (talk) 09:40, 15 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
