May 2020 edit

  Hi IanWiniarski! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor at Rocky De La Fuente that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia — it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Nat Gertler (talk) 00:42, 7 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Also, note that I undid your addition of Rocky being re-aligned with the Reform Party, as you did not provide a source and I could not locate one. (There have been a lot of shenanigans on the page, so I'm erring on the side of caution.) If you have a source for it, please bring it to the article. --Nat Gertler (talk) 04:11, 7 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living (or recently deceased) persons, as you did to Ilhan Omar. Thank you. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 04:42, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add or change content, as you did at 2020 Reform Party presidential primaries, without citing a reliable source. Please review the guidelines at Wikipedia:Citing sources and take this opportunity to add references to the article. If you want to change the content of the article, then you are required to provide reliable sources for the changes you make, and stop removing all the references from the article.

Discretionary sanctions notice for the Arab-Israeli conflict edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.


You have shown interest in the Arab–Israeli conflict. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.


For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Doug Weller talk 11:18, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

You must follow these page-specific restrictions until you have 500 edits and have been here 30 days edit

For the purposes of editing restrictions in the ARBPIA topic area, the "area of conflict" shall be defined as encompassing

  1. the entire set of articles whose topic relates to the Arab-Israeli conflict, broadly interpreted ("primary articles"), and
  2. edits relating to the Arab-Israeli conflict, to pages and discussions in all namespaces with the exception of userspace ("related content")

Also,

500/30 Rule: All IP editors, users with fewer than 500 edits, and users with less than 30 days' tenure are prohibited from editing content within the area of conflict. On primary articles, this prohibition is preferably to be enforced by use of extended confirmed protection (ECP) but this is not mandatory. On pages with related content, or on primary articles where ECP is not feasible, the 500/30 Rule may be enforced by other methods, including page protection, reverts, blocks, the use of pending changes, and appropriate edit filters. Reverts made solely to enforce the 500/30 Rule are not considered edit warring.

The sole exceptions to this prohibition are:

1. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may use the Talk: namespace to post constructive comments and make edit requests related to articles within the topic area, provided they are not disruptive. Talk pages where disruption occurs may be managed by any of the methods noted in paragraph b). This exception does not apply to other internal project discussions such as AfDs, WikiProjects, RfCs, noticeboard discussions, etc.

2. Editors who are not eligible to be extended-confirmed may not create new articles, but administrators may exercise discretion when deciding how to enforce this remedy on article creations. Deletion of new articles created by editors who do not meet the criteria is permitted but not required. Doug Weller talk 11:18, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

3. One Revert Restriction (1RR): Each editor is limited to one revert per page per 24 hours on any edits made to content within the area of conflict. Reverts made to enforce the 500/30 Rule are exempt from the provisions of this motion. Also, the normal exemptions apply. Editors who violate this restriction may be blocked by any uninvolved administrator.

Note that this means your edits on such pages (which you aren't yet eligible to make) may be reverted by anyone at any time. These restrictions are stricter than those in most other areas because of the problems that we've had in this area. Doug Weller talk 11:18, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Important Notice edit

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Doug Weller talk 11:20, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

In case it isn't clear edit

you must not make any edits similar to the one you did at Ilhan Omar until you have been here over 30 days and have made 500 edits in other topics. Failure to comply, or continuing to mark content change edits as minor, will lead to a block or a topic ban - or both. Doug Weller talk 11:24, 17 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

No original research edit

Hi,

I've noticed that you added candidates to the Draft:2024 United States presidential election article, but you did not add any sources. You should read through this page here: Wikipedia:No original research to understand why I removed your most recent additions. Thanks, David O. Johnson (talk) 18:58, 2 August 2020 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at Draft:Asteroid Mining Corporation, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Asteroid Mining Corporation 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 Draft:Asteroid Mining Corporation, 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.

Your recent article submission has been rejected. If you have further questions, you can ask at the Articles for creation help desk or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help. The reason left by Robert McClenon was: This submission is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. The comment the reviewer left was: This draft has been Rejected by a reviewer in the Articles for Creation review process. DO NOT resubmit this draft or attempt to resubmit this draft or prepare or submit a draft that is substantially the same as this draft without discussing the reasons for the rejection. You may request a discussion with the rejecting reviewer, or you may request a discussion with the community at the Teahouse. A discussion will not necessarily agree to a resubmission.

It should be noted that the reviewer has not decided that the topic is not notable. An article on the topic may be accepted in the future. However, there is no reason to think that this draft will become an article, and there is evidence that this draft will never become an article. If there is to be an article on this topic, this draft must first be blown up and started over.

If this draft is resubmitted without discussion and without starting it over, or if an attempt is made to resubmit this draft or an equivalent draft, without addressing the reasons for the Rejection by starting over, a partial block or a topic-ban may be requested against the submitting editor.

You may ask for advice about Rejection at the Teahouse.

This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the subject.

Not every business corporation is notable, and this draft does not establish corporate notability. You may ask for advice about corporate notability at the Teahouse.

This draft has been rejected three previous times, and the rejection tags have been disruptively removed.

Request reason:

Hello, Earlier today on December 7th, 2020, I was blocked from editing here on Wikipedia, and I would like to make it clear why I believe I still deserve to be given the privilege of editing. I began work on my draft article a couple months back, and simply wanted to provide readers a description of the topic I was writing about, the Asteroid Mining Corporation. In the notice that stated I have been blocked, a section of it included a claim that I have been "continually attempting to push blatantly promotional content". I would like to make it clear that that was never my intention. While I believe what I wrote in my draft article was by no means promotional, it appears that Wikipedia has stricter rules about promotions, and while I never I tried to promote in my article, it appears that by the Wikipedia standards I did, and for that I apologize and pledge to never repeat if allowed to edit again. The next subject I will address is my removal of tags. Before now, I did not understand the true importance of tags, I did not that deleting them was so frowned upon. When I deleted these tags of importance, I never intended to trick or deceive anyone, in fact I was unsure of whether or not deleting them meant others couldn't see them. I only deleted the tags because they were a nuisance when editing; and as a result of that, I apologize for my removal of these important tags, and thus I hereby pledge to not remove any of these tags again. Moreover, I apologize for the infractions I made here, and pledge to never repeat them. I wish to continue editing here on Wikipedia and whish to one day have an article I write be approved. Sorry for any inconvenience that has been caused here. Best Regards, - Ian Winiarski IanWiniarski (talk) 05:50, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

Please answer issues presented below in unblock discussion in a new unblock request.. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:47, 8 December 2020 (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.

Unblock discussion edit

You won't be unblocked to edit about the Asteroid Mining Corporation, so what is it that you will be editing about instead if unblocked? 331dot (talk) 09:56, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply

Also take into account the six accounts created to evade the block (all now blocked as socks) and recreate the article as reported at ANI here. 86.142.79.215 (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
I'm hesitant to decline on this basis, but I'll leave the info for another admin to review (i.e. this should not be considered a checkuser block). Some of these accounts did violate the sockpuppetry policy, but in a way that seems more like the user wasn't aware of it than purposeful deception; at any rate it's very obvious they were not trying to evade scrutiny. IanWiniarski, it might be to your benefit to read what you're not allowed to do with multiple accounts, and explain what you were thinking when you created all these accounts. Ivanvector (Talk/Edits) 19:32, 7 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
It's worth noting that some of those accounts were used to create six identical copies of the same draft with various characters appended to the end; (e.g. "Draft:Asteroid Mining Corporation ./" with the period and forward slash"). Those were all created on the same day around the same time. OhNoitsJamie Talk 14:26, 8 December 2020 (UTC)Reply
