Welcome! edit

Hello, Council2, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few links to pages you might find helpful:

You may also want to take the Wikipedia Adventure, an interactive tour that will help you learn the basics of editing Wikipedia. You can visit The Teahouse to ask questions or seek help.

Please remember to sign your messages on talk pages by typing four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or click here to ask for help on your talk page, and a volunteer should respond shortly. Again, welcome!

Council2, you are invited to the Teahouse! edit

 

Hi Council2! Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia. Be our guest at the Teahouse! The Teahouse is a friendly space where new editors can ask questions about contributing to Wikipedia and get help from peers and experienced editors. I hope to see you there! Naypta (I'm a Teahouse host)

Both this account and your previous account have been blocked indefinitely from editing, for the following reasons. (1) As has already been explained to you, a user name which appears to suggest that the account represents an organisation or group is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Despite having had that explained to you, you have chosen to ignore the policy and create another account which violates the same policy. (2) Your usernames and your editing history both make it clear that you are editing on behalf of an organisation or group, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. (3) It is clear that you are editing for the purpose of publicising or promoting a point of view, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. (4) You have been edit-warring, which is to say repeatedly editing articles to the version you prefer, in an attempt to impose your view of what the articles should say, in the face of clear consensus against you from other editors who have reverted your edits. Wikipedia works by collaboration and discussion, not by individual editors persistently repeating their preferred edits no matter what other editors think, presumably in the hope that eventually the other editors will give up, so that the most stubborn editor gets his or her way. It is also less certain, but appears likely that you may be editing in breach of Wikipedia's terms of use, by failing to disclose employment or other paid work to which your editing relates. If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your organisation, and to avoid editing to promote, publicise, or advertise a point of view, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of the talk page of your original account. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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. The editor who uses the pseudonym "JamesBWatson" (talk) 13:13, 16 November 2015 (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.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I do not represent any organization. Furthermore, I have been acting by consensus of at least two other editors. These are User:ScrapIronIV and User:Costatitanica as explained here

Decline reason:

Consensus of yourself and your sock? Given your abuse of alternate accounts, I recommend you to take the standard offer and wait at least 6 months before requesting an unblock again. Max Semenik (talk) 17:51, 29 November 2015 (UTC)Reply

"Here" being a post on AN/I by this editor using a new account, Counsel2. The examining admin should take note. BMK (talk) 16:45, 29 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
Reviewing admin should also take a note that in the above blocking rationale this user was adviced to post an unblock request at his original account, which is Moetzes. Vanjagenije (talk) 17:01, 29 November 2015 (UTC)Reply
