Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent edits do not conform to our policies. For more information on this, see Wikipedia's policies on vandalism and limits on acceptable additions. If you'd like to experiment with the wiki's syntax, please do so in the sandbox rather than in articles.

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

I hope you enjoy editing and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Flat Out let's discuss it 08:36, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

edit
 

Do not create, add, maintain, insert, or restore hoaxes on Wikipedia, such as you did with the article Gretel Ashzinger. Usually, hoaxes will be caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Gretel Ashzinger

edit
 

The article Gretel Ashzinger has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

  • I have blocked you because you've re-created an article that is such a blatant hoax that it's very, very easily detected. Just a note: when you're trying to create and perpetuate a hoax, it's not a good idea to make claims that are so easily proven false. In other words, claiming that someone is a regular on a highly visible show, that they're starring in a film as a known superhero, that they have a gold/silver/platinum record, that they gave a Grammy at the Kid's Choice Awards (hint, they don't give out Grammys)... these are things that can be very easily checked and verified on the Internet. Because you tried to re-create this twice, I'm blocking you permanently. Your off-Wikipedia activities with social media outlets shows that you'll likely try to re-create this again once your block is up. Please note that making social media links does not prove that someone exists. Nor does an IMDb link prove that someone exists, as they're very easy to create. All you have to do is claim that someone exists and give them a fake article name for them to create the profile. That nobody on IMDb caught on to the hoax after they saw the claim of her presenting a Grammy at the KCA is sort of a testament to how little oversight is really given there. Sorry, but this is all so obviously ridiculously false that it's very easily disproved. I was going to give you a block with a specific end, but after some consideration I've made it permanent. Your only edits were to perpetuate a hoax, so it's very hard for me to believe that you would not try to re-introduce this once the block is up. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:20, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Even if the IMDb page was a formatting error and it didn't mean to make it look as if she was giving a Grammy at the KCA, you can't claim that someone presented at the Grammys or the KCA and receives absolutely zero coverage in the news. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:32, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
  • Do not, and I repeat do not, create new accounts as a way to get around the block. I've blocked the other account accordingly. The problem here is that again, the article you were creating was a blatant hoax and you showed no signs of stopping or altering your editing pattern. I'm sorry, but this sort of action is wildly inappropriate for Wikipedia. We have a zero tolerance policy for hoaxes, as they're seen as vandalism. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:40, 23 March 2014 (UTC)Reply
