January 2019 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 or request a change of username.

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 ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

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 ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

 Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 17:49, 23 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Requested username:

Request reason:

I would like to keep my entries, therefore would like to only change the username, instead of creating a new account CECE Europe (talk) 12:37, 24 January 2019 (UTC)

Decline reason:

That username is not a meaningful improvement. Additionally, note that you have no contributions, at least none that weren't deleted for violating WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. If you pick a more appropriate username, we will be happy to unblock you. You will be required to adhere to our policies, though, which means no more promoting CECE.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I would like to keep my account, just to change the username. Thank you CECE Europe (talk) 10:13, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

Accept reason:

I have renamed your account. Since that was the only reason for the block, I will lift it, but please adhere to the policies Yamla mentions above. If you have any questions, feel free to ask at the Teahouse. 331dot (talk) 11:14, 25 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Wikipedia and copyright edit

  Hello Monakokino, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Draft:CECE have been removed, as they appear to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributions to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from sources to avoid copyright and plagiarism issues here.

  • You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
  • Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify the information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
  • Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
  • If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a legally designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. Understand, though, that unlike many other sites, where a person can license their content for use there and retain non-free ownership, that is not possible at Wikipedia. Rather, the release of content must be irrevocable, to the world, into the public domain (PD) or under a suitably-free and compatible copyright license. Such a release must be done in a verifiable manner, so that the authority of the person purporting to release the copyright is evidenced. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
  • In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are PD or compatibly licensed) it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions, the help desk or the Teahouse before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
  • Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you must follow the copyright attribution steps in Wikipedia:Translation#How to translate. See also Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:06, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Blocked edit

 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose.
If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

You were warned about WP:COI and WP:PAID and WP:PROMO and chose to ignore the warnings. Any admin is free to unblock you if you declare your conflict of interest(s) and agree to refrain from all future edits for subjects for which you have a conflict of interest. You'll also want to indicate what subject areas you'll write about instead. --Yamla (talk) 15:02, 28 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I don't understand how describing the CECE organisation - what it is, it's structure, the policy issues it deals with - is promotional? I have found many very similar organisations' articles on Wikipedia, therefore do not understand the reason for blocking my account. I am happy to provide more sources other than CECE's website, however would like to have my account unblocked please. Monakokino (talk) 11:37, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

You will not be unblocked until:

If you have no interest in editing Wikipedia beyond writing about your organisation, then you will not be unblocked. If this is the case, I recommend you consider alternative outlets. Yunshui  11:47, 29 January 2019 (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.

When you reread WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO, which you've previously been pointed to twice, what did you find? How exactly did you find those policies would apply to you and why did you decide to ignore those policies? You'll need to address that in order to have a chance of being unblocked. Realistically, you are also unlikely to be unblocked unless you agree to avoid writing about CECE in the future, as I express above. --Yamla (talk) 11:40, 29 January 2019 (UTC)Reply
