Talkback edit

 
Hello, Vvolume. You have new messages at Crusio's talk page.
You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
 
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Vvolume, does not meet our username policy.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

  1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
  2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
  3. 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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Hello,
I was blocked today, after simply adding information to a page I created on an academic journal (Volume ! The French journal of popular music studies) I participate in… Could you please explain why ? I didn't vandalize anything… added links to the page in the "music theory" and "music magazines" categories… The journal is a serious one, and I am only trying to present it objectively… Plus, I used the name "Vvolume" to be honest about my contributions : I'm not pretending I don't contribute (benevolently) to the journal…
Help, please!
Thanks! Vvolume (talk) 13:40, 23 June 2011 (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).

Request reason:

How did I vandalize anything? Volume! is a serious academic journal - I just created the page and was improving it progressively… don't understand! Plus, I used the name "Vvolume" to be honest about my contributions : I'm not pretending I don't contribute (benevolently) to the journal… help!

Decline reason:

As TParis stated below, and per your block notice above, you are only blocked because of your user name. Per WP:ORGNAME we do not accept user names that represent an organization. You can request an unblock to change your name by using this template: {{unblock-un|your new username here}} -- Atama 17:24, 23 June 2011 (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.

You have not been blocked for vandalism. You've been blocked because your name suggests you edit on behalf of a group, organization, company, or otherwise more than one person. You can request a username change if you'd like to however, please keep in mind that as you have a conflict of interest with this journal, your edits there will be frowned upon.--v/r - TP 16:46, 23 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I have no problem changing my user name - I just thought it was more honest to show I had a link to the journal. {{unblock-un|Vvolume}} Anything that seems too apologetical should be taken out of the Volume ! page (please tell me where, if you consider this to be the case), but I'm doing my best to present it honestly. Thanks! Vvolume (talk) 17:35, 23 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
That's fine, but I need you to be aware of a couple things.
  1. Do you acknowledge that you have a conflict of interest with "Volume! The French journal of popular music studies" and you should suggest controversial changes on the talk page?
  2. Do you acknowledge that changing your username does not change the conflict of interest?
If so, I can unblock you for 24 hours to request a username change. Just copy paste this code {{unblock-un|Your new username here}} with an acceptable username. Please note, your new username cannot be the existing one.--v/r - TP 18:15, 23 June 2011 (UTC)Reply
I "acknowledge" (this really feels like some sort of tribunal, I don't know if you're aware: things like "what I did" should not be "criminalized" this way!) there can be a conflict of interest: I also insist upon the fact that I have a certain ethics, and although I may not know all the rules for a good Wiki page, I don't believe ANY of the information I put in that page was wrong, apologetical etc.
Changing my name will not change the conflict of interest: that's why it seemed more honest to have that name in the first place : people thus know which changes I did and thus scrutinize them better. I did it all out of honesty.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Proposed deletion of Volume! edit

 

The article Volume! has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Lack of reliable sources, length of article suggests undue weight, dubious notability, unsourced content and possible original research, advertising and possible conflict of interest given perusal of talk page. General inability to check sources in English language; no mention of this publication on leading French news site France 24. Contributors at the French Wikipedia may be better able to judge its merits although there are low pageview counts at the French Wikipedia]; some contributors work on both versions.--Tomwsulcer (talk) 17:59, 23 July 2012 (UTC)Reply
