March 2016 edit

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Kalah Social. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 11:21, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to Kalah Social. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. I have deleted the page that you created, for this reason.  —SMALLJIM  11:28, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

  This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, you may be blocked from editing without further notice.  —SMALLJIM  11:30, 16 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours for persistent disruptive editing. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions.

A tag has been placed on Kalah Social, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

  • It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
  • It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

    If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

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 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.

March 2016 edit

  Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to remove speedy deletion notices from pages you created yourself, as you did at Kalah social, you may be blocked from editing. Read the tag: do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself. You can be blocked for disruptive editing. HappyValleyEditor (talk) 09:10, 18 March 2016 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

My account has been blocked for sometime now, but I humbly request for it to be activated. I pledge to abide by the rules of Wikipedia. thank you.

Accept reason:

After consulting with the blocking administrator, I have decided to unblock you to give you another chance. You may find it helpful to use the user tutorial which will help you learn more about how Wikipedia works. 331dot (talk) 16:33, 17 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

It's been over two years, and I am willing to consider your request. Please do the following:

  1. explain why you were blocked. I know what you did but I want to hear it in your own words to ensure you know what you did, which will help assure me that your behavior will be different.
  2. disclose any connection you have to Kalah Social
  3. explain what it is that you want to do if unblocked(such as what articles or topic areas that you want to edit in). .

Thank you. 331dot (talk) 15:17, 16 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

My account was blocked for spamming and too many edits on articles. Kalahsocial happens to be a social media platform owned by a Ghanaian, and I thought I could put it on Wikipedia for internet users to read about it. Meanwhile, I have undergone a few training on how best to use Wikipedia, which I pledge to follow, so as not to break its conditions in future.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nambepatrick (talkcontribs)

Please answer my third question above. Please do so as a standard comment, without the unblock request formatting, as only one open request is needed. 331dot (talk) 16:09, 16 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

I will want to contribute on articles in areas of sports, politics, news, health, history, technology and much more.

I humbly appealed for my account and IP Address to be unblocked yesterday. Unfortunately, I have not received any updates..

Speedy deletion nomination of Nambe Media 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 Nambe Media requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company, corporation or organization that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

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 ~~~~}}.  331dot (talk) 08:33, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

You resumed promotional editing after being unblocked per agreeing not to. It is also clear that your username indicates you work for the company you are promoting. Merely providing information is considered promotional on Wikipedia. For this reason, I am reimposing the block. 331dot (talk) 08:35, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

 
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).

Nambepatrick (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Honestly, I'll be grateful to know how I can improve my article before deletion.. Please

Decline reason:

You can't. You are blocked. You were previously unblocked with the understanding you would cease promotional editing, but immediately resumed doing so. Given your multiple violations of Wikipedia's trust, I can't see anyone unblocking you again. Yamla (talk) 10:46, 19 September 2018 (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.

Only one open request is needed. Adding additional requests has no effect. If you wish to amend your statement, please add to your existing request, or make a standard comment below. Your open request appears in a list that is checked by administrators and will be seen at some point. Please be patient. 331dot (talk) 09:10, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

How does my article seem promotional? What and what constituted that? I'm confused

 
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).

Nambepatrick (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

I have come to realize how the article was structured, and I accept the blame for that. However, I'll need another chance to work on it, with recommendations from you on how to improve upon the article I wrote. Please bear with me.

Decline reason:

Seeing that you have just been unblocked, and went straight back to promotional editing, I am not at all convinced that you understand the reasons you were blocked. You state that you intend to continue working on the one article, though it is clear you have a conflict of interest, which is very strongly discouraged. Unless you agree not to edit any article about yourself, or your company, you will not be unblocked. Voice of Clam (formerly Optimist on the run) (talk) 18:37, 19 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sure! I agree not to edit any article about myself, or company.

Your actions indicate that your only interest here is to promote your projects. I see no merit in permitting further appeals on this page so I have revoked talk page access. If you have something new to say you can use WP:UTRS. Just Chilling (talk) 20:35, 23 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • Someone else will review this request, but you said that before, and did the same thing wrong again almost immediately. Why should you be believed this time? 331dot (talk) 07:23, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

I've learned some few lessons from it, which will be worked on. but I need some few recommendations from you, if only it'll be granted?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Nambepatrick (talkcontribs)

You will need to provide a detailed explanation to whomever reviews this as to what lessons you learned and how you will change in the future to have any chance at being unblocked. I would suggest referencing the relevant Wikipedia policies in any such explanation. To be honest, as you've already broken an agreement once, it will be hard for you to be unblocked. It is possible(again, the reviewer will decide) you may need to make use of the standard offer process. If you have any additional comment, please do not format it as an unblock request; simply type your comment below and sign it with ~~~~. 331dot (talk) 07:38, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Little did I know Wikipedia prohibits too much links and citations on articles from sources such as Facebook, and other social media platforms. Also, I've realised usernames shouldn't create a page to write on themselves, but a different user can do so. I'll be circumspect next time.Nambepatrick (talk) 07:57, 20 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
