Speedy deletion of "Copy.com"

A page you created, Copy.com, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is obvious advertising or promotional material.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. TRL (talk) 01:03, 27 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of ZSZ

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 ZSZ, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

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 "Click here to 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.

Your edits to Blue Screen of Death

First, regarding the link to bsod.org: Please see WP:ELNO. Your link fails under, at least, points 1, 4, and 11 (it's clearly someone's blog). The site is very much out of date - copyright 2001, the BSOD image is from NT 4. And the writing is of very amateurish quality. There is certainly no evidence that it is authored by a recognized authority in the field or that it is not self-published by its author with utterly no editorial oversight.

Also, the text that accompanies the link ("Please use Linux, because crashing computers are no fun!!!") is completely inappropriate for an encyclopedia. This is not the place to promote your favorite operating system.

Second, regarding your re-add: Please refer to WP:BRD. After a change of yours has been reverted, you are not supposed to simply make your same edit again. To do so marks the beginning of an edit war. You are supposed to go to the article talk page and open a discussion.

Third, the image you have added of an NT 4 or earlier BSOD appears to be a direct copy from that same page (the original image URL is http://bsod.org/img/bsod545.gif ). Accordingly I have removed the link to the image from Blue Screen of Death (besides, we already have a photograph of an NT 4 BSOD found "in the wild", we don't need two). I have also proposed the image for deletion over at Commons because it would appear that the image is actually owned by the owner of that site, and there is no evidence that that person has granted permission for its public free use, or for you to claim that you created it.

ZSZ listed at Redirects for discussion

An editor has asked for a discussion to address the redirect ZSZ. Since you had some involvement with the ZSZ redirect, you might want to participate in the redirect discussion if you have not already done so. Jeh (talk) 20:23, 9 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of My first time

A tag has been placed on My first time requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, or user talk page from the article space.

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 "Click here to 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.

Why did you remove the speedy deletion template? Quoting from WP:SPEEDY:

The creator of a page may not remove a speedy deletion tag from it. Only an editor who is not the creator of a page may do so. A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead click on the Contest this speedy deletion button which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag. This button links to the discussion page with a pre-formatted area for the creator to explain why the page should not be deleted. The Million Rabbit 02:10, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment; or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button ( or ) located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

V Inc.

A tag has been placed on V Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect from an implausible typo, or other unlikely search term.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you believe that there is a reason to keep the redirect, you can request that administrators wait a while before deleting it. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Talk to the user

n.b.: I have copied a section of William Pina's user page to here, as I want to respond to it, but he doesn't want anyone to edit his user page. Jeh (talk) 09:05, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I may leave a user a message. I was, for example, leaving a message to Jeh telling him that he deleted my image I added on Blue Screen of Death. But I used a new image with the file named BSoD in Windows 1.0.png. -- William Pina

Yes, and it would be nice if you would actually read the replies to your messages, and respond.

I noticed that you wrote on your user page "I don't like it when someone modifies the pages I edited." I'm afraid this is not a reasonable attitude with which to approach editing on Wikipedia. As the edit window clearly states: Work submitted to Wikipedia can be edited, used, and redistributed—by anyone.

I have reverted or otherwise edited a significant fraction of your edits and you may be feeling that I am singling you out. Please know that there is nothing personal in this. I'm reverting or editing your material because I feel the encyclopedia is improved thereby... usually because I feel your edits were of comparatively poor quality. Had I seen the same edits made by many different people I would have done the same thing.

You have raised the subject of a few of those edits on my talk page, and I would be happy to discuss them with you further, but you have not responded to my replies. I have, I feel, a valid reason for each of my edits, per WP policy and guidelines. I would be happy to discuss each of them with you, but your tone and language do not suggest that you are open to a discussion; you rather express shock and anger at the very thought that anyone might have changed anything you did here. As noted above, that attitude is simply not going to work on Wikipedia. By the way, if you would like a third opinion on any edit to your material that I or anyone else has made, there is a way to request that. Jeh (talk) 09:17, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please quit putting inappropriate disambiguation links on pages

My user talk page is not something that needs a disambiguation link. These links are appropriate for something like IBM, where IBM usually means the big company that makes computers (among other things), but could also refer to the International Brotherhood of Magicians. It's not appropriate for my user page. Nor is it appropriate for things like [1] where the disambiguation page you linked to does not actually exist. --B (talk) 19:42, 10 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Knowledge questions on article talk pages

Hello! I noticed you've been asking a few knowledge questions on the talk pages of some computing-related articles. Article talk pages are to talk about the articles themselves, not their subjects. Your questions would be better posed at WP:Reference desk/Computing, as that place is a place you can ask a knowledge question like the ones you've posed at the article talk pages. Thanks. - Purplewowies (talk) 04:43, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

June 2014: blocked

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent disruptive editing. See this ANI thread. There are serious problems with your editing, and people have tried to advise you about them. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. I really encourage you to appeal. If you show understanding of the problems, you will be unblocked.

You've locked me out!!!

How did you do this? Please tell me!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!

The MediaWiki software (which Wikipedia uses) has a function which makes it possible to prevent users from editing pages. More info here: WP:BLOCK. And PLEASE sign your posts! The Million Rabbit 17:13, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Would you unlock me, please?

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).

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

Request reason:

Because I was being a misleading user, I won't do this again.

Decline reason:

This doesn't even begin to address the numerous issues and poor behaviour that has led to this block. Please re-read the ANI thread, review every single one of your contributions, then re-read WP:GAB, WP:AAB and WP:5P. That should take you a few days. Only then, once you have fully understood what is acceptable - and what you AGREED TO - will you have the ability to determine and discuss your way forward the panda ₯’ 20:05, 11 June 2014 (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.

Comment Please pay particular attention to WP:CIVIL (one of the "five pillars" documents), and also WP:OWN. For more details on WP policy, see Wikipedia:List of policies. (involved user) Jeh (talk) 20:18, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I said because I was being a misleading user, I won't do this again. So that means I want you to unlock me. William Pina (talk) 21:10, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You were not being a "misleading" user. You were being an aggressive, disruptive user. I'm not seeing any evidence in your comments here that you understand that or are working to change it. Repeating that you want us to unblock you isn't going to help with that. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:32, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

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.

Repeating the previous unsatisfactory unblock request more emphatically won't get you unblocked. You'll need to do exactly what was asked of you, and then give satisfactory evidence that you've read and understood it. So far, you're just making things worse.

Decline reason:

Saying it three times doesn't make it any more convincing: you've clearly made no attempt to understand why you were blocked and what you have to do to be unblocked. Since you're abusing the process, I'm removing talkpage access. Acroterion (talk) 22:12, 11 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

William, you can't edit this page now, but if you want to request unblock again, you can go to the Wikipedia:Unblock Ticket Request System page and follow the instructions there. But you'd better read the guide to appealing blocks carefully before you write to UTRS, and also read the replies you've received to your unblock requests above, or it won't do any good. Bishonen | talk 22:24, 11 June 2014 (UTC).[reply]

Comment (Note, I am not an administrator.) Frankly, William, I think you need to evaluate carefully just what you wanted to do here, and whether you would ever be happy editing here even if you somehow manage to get unblocked now.

You said on your user page, "I don't like it when someone modifies the pages I edited... I re-edit the page when someone has modified the page." You also responded with anger just about every time someone edited a page after you did. Your tone was one of shock that anyone would dare to edit a page after you'd touched it. (And this was only one out of several problems with your behavior.)

In response (and in what will likely be my last attempt to say anything to you; I have other things to do than write to someone who has not given any indication of so much as reading a single piece of advice offered to him previously, let alone thinking about it)... I tell you three times:

Wikipedia is edited collaboratively!

Wikipedia is edited collaboratively! (Those are links, all to the same Wikipedia policy article. You really need to read that article. Maybe even three times.)

This means that anything you do here can be subsequently edited, copied for use elsewhere, even deleted, by anyone.

But you have evidenced no willingness at all to collaborate; in fact you have shown anger at the notion... every time anybody changed anything you'd done, regardless of reason.

So: If you aren't willing—really willing, that is, not just saying "uh uh, I agree"—to embrace this notion, to work in a collaborative environment and in a spirit of mutual cooperation to improve the encyclopedia...

if you just "don't like it when someone edits a page after you have" and you just can't get past that...

then Wikipedia is probably not a place where you will ever be happy.

Because collaborating and cooperating are what we do here.

That means, among other things, not being incensed when someone edits a page after you do, even when they revert your changes. It means reading their edit summary, and if you still disagree with the edit, start a discussion on the article talk page (see WP:BRD). Not simply re-editing the page. And not coming to their talk page to yell at them.

This is not the sort of thing we're supposed to say to new editors who are having problems, in most cases. We're supposed to offer help, suggest WP:MENTORship, other things. But... with your present attitude of non-cooperation... I just don't see that unblocking you would give a happy result for anyone, not excepting yourself.

Please think about that before you request an unblock. Jeh (talk) 20:07, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Short version: please see WP:CIR#Social. (i.e. I'm not making this up.) Jeh (talk) 20:07, 12 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
