Speedy deletion nomination of User:Brazen Jester/sandbox

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 User:Brazen Jester/sandbox, 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 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. creffett (talk) 00:25, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

October 2019

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 11:08, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

Lunality (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand the block, I will not repeat it, but can you provide instructions on how to practice editing stuff, since using username/sandbox as depicted in the instructions gets my username banned. I did not realize each users sandbox was public, I thought it was a place to practice, before screwing things up in live. Contributions: I do not know, I have not found them yet. I thought I would learn how to update before I had any major editing contributions.

Decline reason:

As you have no idea what you'd write about, I'm declining your unblock request. Once you have read and understood our policies and have some plans for what you'd write about, you are welcome to request an unblock review. Yamla (talk) 12:06, 21 October 2019 (UTC)

Sandboxes are for experimentation, but edits to them appear in the Recent Changes feed just as any other edit, and sandboxes are not immune from deletion processes. You edited about what I presume is your own company to post a link about it, and your username was that of your company. These things are not permitted, even in a sandbox. If you want to experiment without it being visible to other editors, you would need to do it in a word processing program or click "Preview" instead of "Publish"(in this context 'publish' is equivalent to 'save'). Someone else will review your request, but if there are no edits that you want to make, there is no need to lift the block. 331dot (talk) 15:17, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

You will also need to review conflict of interest and paid editing. 331dot (talk) 15:18, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

{{unblock-spamun|TigerDawn|I declared my conflict of interest on my user page. I was not paid to edit. As I stated I was figuring out the system, chose to use data that would not mess up existing stuff, because apparently it does and gets ones username blocked.}}

You only need one open request. Are you not paid for your position as CEO or otherwise paid for your work with the company? If you are employed by the company, you must declare as a paid editor; you do not specifically have to be asked or directed to edit Wikipedia(and in this case, you are in charge of the company as the CEO) Do you want your username to be changed to Lunality or TigerDawn? 331dot (talk) 15:27, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

{{unblock-spamun|Lunality|Lunality, Tigerdawn was being used already.  :( Users are allowed to have personal lives as well. Again the company info was there as I thought it was private, and would not have mattered. In hindsight, should have used my personal email address as well. Sigh, one gets so used to typing in the same thing, things cross sometimes.}}

I have renamed your account from Brazen Jester, and someone else will review your request. Please make subsequent comments as standard, unformatted comments, as you only need one open request. Thanks 331dot (talk) 15:46, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

You will still have to declare that relationship and paid editing status(once unblocked). 331dot (talk) 15:47, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
