Speedy deletion nomination of Syrian Communist Party- Political Bureau 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 Syrian Communist Party- Political Bureau, 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. ‡ Єl Cid of ᐺalencia ᐐT₳LKᐬ 19:21, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply

August 2017 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 why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.  Alex ShihTalk 14:07, 24 August 2017 (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).

Shio3i (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

Your reason here I did not read Wikipedia instructions

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 17:53, 5 October 2017 (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.

Request reason:

Your reason here When I started editing for the first time, I had not read neither the instructions nor "writing your first article". I don't mean any harm to Wikipedia. I use it everyday. I understand now why I have been blocked for, I have read the guide of appealing. I will always make useful contributions.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. See below. Huon (talk) 23:15, 16 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

This, too, does not address the reasons for your block. --Yamla (talk) 11:39, 7 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

 
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Shio3i (block logactive blocksglobal blockscontribsdeleted contribsfilter logcreation logchange block settingsunblockcheckuser (log))


Request reason:

advertising and promoting is not my purpose, I copied and pasted the information about that political party because I didn't read the instructions about how to write my first article, and that it should be encyclopedic and neutral with independent sources

Accept reason:

Two comments. Firstly, Wikipedia content should be based on independent reliable sources, not on what the subject has to say about themselves. Non-independent sources might be used for uncontroversial details such as a party's exact founding date, but nor for anything that may be considered contentious or promotional. Secondly, we should summarize in our own words what those sources say to avoid copyright violations. That's also explained in the guidelies you refer to, so I expect you already know, but I wanted to emphasize these points. That said, welcome back, and happy editing.

Could you perhaps give some indication of what subjects you are interested in editing? GoldenRing (talk) 23:40, 14 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

(Shio3i (talk) 13:21, 15 October 2017 (UTC)) I'm interested in politics, history of arabic political parties and political movements in the arab world.Reply

@Alex Shih: Would you mind taking another look at this? I'm not convinced the user was editing promotionally. I understand that the tone of the article was promotional, but that's because the whole thing was a copyvio of the web page linked at the bottom of the article which was gradually being edited into shape (well, better shape anyway). I'm considering unlocking with a warning about copyright (and the user does seem to have some understanding of this already) and keeping an eye on them, but would like to hear your thoughts first. GoldenRing (talk) 22:27, 15 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

@GoldenRing: I think it was fair to assess the account as being connected to this relatively specific subject. I am not sure if the second version was that much different, after the first version was deleted (the editing took place in a span of 3 days). With that being said, I think the unblock rationale has clarified well, and I would support unblock (Since you are in the process of unblocking already, may I just leave everything to you?). Cheers, Alex ShihTalk 23:02, 15 October 2017 (UTC)Reply
I see Huon has gone ahead and unblocked you and I would echo his comments in full. Welcome back and I wish you a productive wiki career; please do pay attention to our policies when editing. GoldenRing (talk) 16:15, 17 October 2017 (UTC)Reply

November 2017 edit

  Hello, I'm KAP03. I noticed that you recently removed content from Syrian Communist Party - Political Bureau without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks. -KAP03(Talk • Contributions • Email) 15:06, 17 November 2017 (UTC)Reply

September 2018 edit

  Hello, I noticed that you may have recently made edits to Syrian Communist Party (Political Bureau) while logged out. Wikipedia's policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow the use of both an account and an IP address by the same person in the same setting and doing so may result in your account being blocked from editing. Additionally, making edits while logged out reveals your IP address, which may allow others to determine your location and identity. If this was not your intention, please remember to log in when editing. Thank you. Sam Sailor 13:55, 27 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
