Texas School Survey

edit

Your addition of links to your new article to nearly 200 articles on drug use and the individual Texas School districts was an inappropriate action. None of those were relevant nor appropriate see also links. They have all been reverted. Such efforts appear to be "spamming" your article across Wikipedia in an attempt to promote it. The article itself also appears to be written in a promotional fashion. Are you associated with the Texas School Survey? If so, I strongly urge you to read WP:COI. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 14:00, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Reply


Proposed deletion of Texas School Survey

edit
 

The article Texas School Survey has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unnotable organization. Article claims not supported by organization's own website and appears to be promotional in nature. Fails WP:ORG and WP:N. Only reliable sources are non-third-party/non-neutral.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 14:14, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, you may not know that Wikipedia has a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Texas School Survey, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:39, 28 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Please don't forget to provide an edit summary, as you forgot on your recent edit to Texas School Survey. Thank you. Please use edit summaries and please actually respond to messages being left for you. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 15:57, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Texas School Survey

edit

Why are you adding the same content to the article twice? Its already said and does not need repeating. Also, please stop adding unnecessary ELs to the external link section. See WP:EL if you don't understand the external link policy. Finally, I strongly suggest you actually start responding to attempts to contact you and use edit summaries rather than continue to silently continuing to repeat bad edits. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 18:50, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please do not assume ownership of articles such as Texas School Survey. If you aren't willing to allow your contributions to be edited extensively or be redistributed by others, please do not submit them. Thank you. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:19, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop. Continuing to remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Texas School Survey, without resolving the problem that the template refers to may be considered vandalism. Further edits of this type may result in you being blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:21, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you remove the maintenance templates from Wikipedia articles, as you did to Texas School Survey, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Stop replicating information in the article to make it bigger. Stop removing the maintainence templates. And stop readding unrelated external links. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 19:38, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 31 hours in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for edit warring. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. — Kralizec!

Sockpuppetry case

edit
 

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Chimeraweaver for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 04:16, 25 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please do not use alternate accounts like you were doing (that is, I'm not buying the "multiple people are using this computer" excuse here). We have a policy on Wikipedia that restricts people to one accounts except for exceptional purposes as laid out here. If you use other accounts like that next time, I will have no choice but to revoke your editing privileges for a period of time. Thank you, MuZemike 03:13, 30 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

  If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Texas Department of State Health Services, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. Thank you. -- Collectonian (talk · contribs) 04:17, 25 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
