Conflict of interest

[edit]

Please note that your edits present a conflict of interest ad you are the editor-in-chief of the site you're adding reviews for. Please read WP:COI, a Wikipedia policy which forbids editors from doing such. --Teancum (talk) 18:06, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Found your reply on my talk page. The first thing would be to submit it for approval as a reliable source on the talk page for Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources. Once that process is complete you'll know whether it can be used. I'd like to help more, but I just very recently took a position at XBLAFans.com, so I'm in a similar boat. --Teancum (talk) 21:42, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent edits

[edit]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four halfwidth tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 10:13, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

File permission problem with File:Capsule Computers C Logo.jpg

[edit]

Thanks for uploading File:Capsule Computers C Logo.jpg. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license.

If you created 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 in|article name}} 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 on criteria for speedy deletion. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's image use policy. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. Stefan2 (talk) 18:10, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

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 Capsule computers, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. The Determinator p t c 18:37, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This is your last warning. The next time you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising, as you did at Capsule computers, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. The Determinator p t c 18:40, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked

[edit]

It has become apparent that your account is being used only for spamming, so it has been blocked indefinitely. ~Amatulić (talk) 18:45, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Request reason:

we are trying to setup a COMPANY Wiki Page. We would like to be unblocked so we can go ahead and create it.

Decline reason:

You are not allowed to have a COMPANY wiki page, and you are not allowed to run an account to which more than one person has access. --Anthony Bradbury"talk" 19:35, 29 June 2012 (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.

Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. You clearly have one; your entire contribution history consists of adding your own web links to articles, in spite of comments on various talk pages that these links are not acceptable. Then you compound the problem by trying to "set up a company wiki page"?

Your contribution history quite clearly shows that this account exists on Wikipedia purely for promotional purposes. That is why it is now blocked, and will likely remain so.

Be advised that companies don't get their own Wikipedia pages unless the company meets the requirements spelled out in WP:CORP.

Furthermore, your repeated references to "we" in your comments suggests that this account is compromised; that is, being controlled by more than one person. Companies don't get accounts on Wikipedia. Only individual persons. ~Amatulić (talk) 19:24, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am only attempting to create a wiki page for our company. If we are not allowed to this why are other companies allowed to this? And I am not sure what you mean by the more than one person accessing the account. I dont know who Anthony Bradbury is. The account I have is my own and no one else is using it. If you point me in he right direction on how to have the business/company wiki approve without the account being banned that would be appreciate. I am not and did not have any intention of causing problems what so ever. If there can be some guidance and assistance with getting it done correctly that would be nice. I find it quite unprofessional how my account was instantly banned for trying to write about the company.

Anthony Bradbury is an administrator here, and so am I.
Other companies aren't "allowed" to create their own Wikipedia pages either. An article about any company exists not because some company representative wanted a company page, but because people in the Wikipedia community deemed the company notable, and meeting the WP:CORP criteria for inclusion in Wikipedia.
Your repeated reference to "we" in your comments suggested that this account is controlled by more than one person. You continue to reference "we" in your recent comment in spite of your claim that no one else uses this account. That's fine, but the suggestion that multiple people access this account was not the reason you were blocked.
You were not blocked because you were trying to create an article, either. That was simply the final straw. You were blocked because 100% of your contributions on Wikipedia have been promotional, consisting of adding links to your company in various articles. Those links have also been removed. Wikipedia is not a promotion channel for anyone. ~Amatulić (talk) 22:58, 30 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
