I’m sorry you’ve been unfairly targeted. Unfortunately, some admins have a chip on their shoulders and they delete articles without first advising. I’ll reach out to a “fair” AMERICAN admin to have your article revived.

Chin up. Wiki is not that bad.

File permission problem with File:SAFETRIP-mobile-app.png edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:SAFETRIP-mobile-app.png. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.

If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either

  • make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
  • Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log. Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described in section F11 of the criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. DMacks (talk) 04:13, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

DMacks You've unfairly deleted my HARD WORK. A total waste of my time. MULTIPLE pages edited my article including an admin yet you disregarded the changes that were being made? PLEASE LEAVE CONTRIBUTORS WORK ALONE while we're editing! You make this site very unpleasant. You've abused your power.

Request reason:

My account was unfairly blocked due to alleged sockpocketing. My page has no relations to the pages that edited my article.

Decline reason:

There was a technical match between the two accounts, so you would need to explain that. (And your repeated attempts to blank the sock investigation page don't help). Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 07:32, 13 September 2018 (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:

I was unfairly blocked. The technical match between the two accounts (created YEARS apart) could be due to editing in a public workspace. Which is very common here in America. Also, my personal computer has a proxy server. If it was connected, my IP address could've matched multiple users in the anonymous server network. Blanking the sock investigation page AFTER BEING BLOCKED is redundant. Please unblock my account. HappyGoLucky18 (talk) 07:53, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

So, you re-created the SAFETRIP article, timestamped 0019 13 Sept, and then just by some coincidence, at 0022 13 Sept another account with no edits ever recovers its password and proceeds to edit the same article? On the same IP? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆 𝄐𝄇 14:34, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

  • One other thing that I think you need to tell us is whether you have any connection with SAFETRIP yourself? Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 08:22, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
Boing! said Zebedee I don't have a connection with SAFETRIP. I discovered the company on a viral social media post and decided to conduct independent research.
All this yelling is not helping your unblocking, please calm down. - FlightTime (open channel) 14:40, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • I don't know what to make of any of this. SshibumXZ is asking for a "good-faith" unblocking, but I don't see any reason for that on this talk page. "My page has no relations to the pages that edited my article" makes no logical sense, no explanation is given for the obvious socking (which any CU can confirm--correction, it has been confirmed), and nothing else here suggests we're dealing with an editor who knows what Wikipedia is and what they are doing here. No, articles on Wikipedia (and in reliable sources) are not created with press releases. No, I am not some editor's buddy. No, that there's other articles is not "favoritism". No, bringing vets to a hospital does not make something notable by itself. I could go on. Drmies (talk) 15:10, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Drmies: copying my comment over at [[Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/HappyGoLucky18}}:—

[Y]eah, that one blew up in my face, didn’t it? I, too, see no reason to unblock now. Sorry for bothering you with the request.

Basically, I was thinking a lot of myself and it turns out, it wasn’t true in this case.

FlightTime Whos' yelling? SAFETRIP is spelled in all caps. Your comment was uncalled for and this feels a lot like bullying.

First of all please do not copy/paste my signature. I was talking about all the other yelling on this page posted by you. Good luck on your future here at Wikipedia. - FlightTime (open channel) 19:24, 13 September 2018 (UTC)Reply

FlightTime You're commenting on my talk page. You could've refrained from commenting your opinion altogether as it is counter productive. Leading with "good luck" in your first comment vs your attempt to taunt me would've been more amiable, but I digress.

--jpgordon Is there a problem with multiple users editing an article? Did I miss something? There was also an admin working on the article. What's the problem? There was no deceptive behavior.

Drmies Editors/Contributors on popular media sources are no longer allowed to write random stories about celebrities/companies due to the threat of lawsuits. If you research any celebrity on Wikipedia (which I have) 90% of those sources are created from press releases. If you've never worked in the PR field, you wouldn't know the origin of articles. Companies and celebrities use press releases daily. Once the media picks up the story, we're then able to update pages on Wikipedia. For example, majority of UBER and LYFT references were generated from press releases. As they're both privately held transportation companies. My goal was to create and edit pages for reputable transportation companies. Which led to my research on SAFETRIP. And yes, being contracted by the United States Government does make a company notable, among other things. In fact, if that doesn't make a company notable, I'm not sure what does. Scandal? Articles from Vogue Magazine or Forbes (all PR driven, btw)? You were likely asked to unblock me because the user realized my frustration of having an article flagged for deletion without first advising me on what to correct. The talk page was also unfairly taunted with alleged sock puppeting tags and claims before given an explanation. I'm in a shared tech workspace, as explained above, with multiple wiki contributors. That being said, the article was deleted (the second time) for alleged sock puppeting, not references. Which seems to be against the rules. You all pointed out the "reference issue" hours AFTER the article was deleted without giving me a chance to correct the issue. There was no deceptive behavior done on my behalf, the other contributor, nor the admin who edited the article advising "cleanup". I'm simply attempting to contribute to wiki, although I'm now experiencing bullying by 4 users on my talk page. I have more reputable companies to add, but you all are not very welcoming to new contributors.

  • Alright, I think we're done here. Drmies (talk) 01:09, 14 September 2018 (UTC)Reply
