Policy violation at Activation Lock article

[edit]

I reverted your additions, and will do so again, per Wikipedia policy as stated at What Wikipedia is not, particularly section 2.7, item 1. I've bolded the points that are particularly relevant to your material:

Wikipedia is not a manual, guidebook, textbook, or scientific journal

Wikipedia is an encyclopedic reference, not an instruction manual, guidebook, or textbook. Wikipedia articles should not read like:

1. Instruction manuals. While Wikipedia has descriptions of people, places and things, an article should not read like a "how-to" style owner's manual, advice column (legal, medical or otherwise) or suggestion box. This includes tutorials, instruction manuals, game guides, and recipes. Describing to the reader how people or things use or do something is encyclopedic; instructing the reader in the imperative mood about how to use or do something is not. Such guides may be welcome at Wikibooks instead.

In other words, if it's something you'd expect to find in a user's manual, it shouldn't be on Wikipedia. This applies even if it isn't in the product's actual user's manual. And more so if it isn't in there, but [i]should[/i] be. Wikipedia is not "the missing manaul".

Whether it's "useful" is irrelevant; an encyclopedia is not an instruction manual or how-to guide. (Look at the article on Car. Do you find there information about how to drive a car? How to buy one, how to service it? No.)

Request reason:

I don't know what the account "JP Youtube" is. You are abusing your privileges "Jeh" and you need to stop or you will be reported

Decline reason:

This is a checkuser confirmed sock account; you'll need to provide a better request that explains the technical similarities. Kuru (talk) 01:46, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
