User talk:Mprove

Welcome!

Hello, Mprove, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, please see:

If you still have questions, there is a new contributors' help page, or you can click here to ask a question on your talk page. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia:

Please stop adding inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to History of virtual learning environments. It is considered spamming and Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or promotion. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, additions of links to Wikipedia will not alter search engine rankings. If you continue spamming, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Alexf^(talk) 15:46, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Alexf: We are talking about the footnote 35. This is indeed a link to my site. But it was already there, added by @Gwoodill: in 2006. Please discuss the issue with him/her.

I've just worked on my site hierarchy today. Hence –to avoid a redirect or broken link– I've updated the link on Wikipedia as well. Feel free to find another page with Alan Kay's M.Sc. thesis from 1968. Cheers --Mprove (talk) 16:16, 10 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

November 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. -- Deep fried okra 14:17, 26 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

My user name a shortcut of my real name (Matthias Müller-Prove). It is not a business and I am the only human being with access to this handle. In fact I use it as my personal domain since 2001; also on twitter and on many other platforms. I do not receive any money from anybody wrt/ my edits on wikipedia. I am not a professional photographer, i.e. no business. The link I've added to the page on August Macke is a gallery with Macke's photos from 1914 that have never been published before. If you find another page with the same information, feel free to use that link instead. The photos have been shared under CCSA by the LWL Museum, Germany for the cultural hackathon Coding Da Vinci. They have not published the photos in total before. I have no commercial interest in sharing the photos other than contributing this unknown aspect of August Macke’s life as an artist to art historians and other folks who are interested. –– Whenever I find mistakes on wikipedia, I plan to correct them. I suppose this is the intend of wikipedia. For instance, I've just removed a Macke water color painting form the pages on Algèria b/c the image was uploaded under the name "Market in Algier". The museum confirmed that Macke has never been in Algier and that the painting is in fact called "Market in Tunis." - check the wikipedias for ca/es/gl, as well as wikidata. –– If publishing CC content on a site that I manage without a business interest is considered "promotional activities" I will stop to do something like this in the future. I hope I could explain my point of view. kind regards, Matthias (senior member of the ACM)
