Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.A username should not be promotional, appear to represent a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. However, you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87". You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
- Adding
{{unblock-un|your new username here}}
below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page. - At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.
- Adding
{{unblock|Your reason here}}
below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. 331dot (talk) 09:50, 25 May 2020 (UTC)![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/cf/Appointment_green.svg/48px-Appointment_green.svg.png)

Navigation
[edit]Hallo, when you create an article with a "disambiguated" title like Richard Bassett (author), please make sure that the reader can find it easily.
In this case it needed to be added to the existing disambiguation page at Richard Bassett; sometimes it needs a WP:Hatnote to be created or expanded, or occasionally a new disambiguation page is needed. Making a route from the base name to the disambiguated title not only helps the reader but also helps make it less likely that a careless editor will create a duplicate article at Richard Bassett (historian) or a similar title. Thanks. PamD 16:20, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Sources
[edit]Thanks for your work on Richard Bassett (author). Please note that everything added to a Wikipedia article should be sourced to references in reliable published sources. Much of what you have written in Richard Bassett (author) is unsourced: please add references. If, on the other hand, you have no sources because you are, or know, Mr Bassett, then please read WP:Autobiography and WP:Conflict of interest.
When listing publications, especially where there is no source which includes them, please add more than just title and date: publisher and ISBN should usually be given. The ISBN can then be linked through to a page which allows verification of the book's details by linking to Worldcat and other catalogues. I've fixed up a couple. The "Works" or "Publications" section comes after the rest of the content - see WP:ORDER.
Minor points: Wikipedia doesn't use elisions like "he's", and all quote marks or apostrophes should be "straight", not slanted or curly. There's a lot to learn about editing Wikipedia but it's an interesting journey. Happy Editing. PamD 16:39, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Typo?
[edit]In "On returning from the city at the end of 2013", should that be "retiring"? PamD 16:46, 11 June 2020 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Bokksu
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
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 Bokksu, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hello Potatotic. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially egregious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat SEO.
Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.
Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Potatotic. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Potatotic|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}
. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message. GSS 💬 18:28, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Response
[edit]I'd like to state that I've not been paid to edit from anywhere else. I've been editing several Japanese restaurants and improving them. Please have a look at my contributions for better understanding. Thank you. Potatotic (talk) 18:31, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
- I have pretty clear evidence to support my claim that you were hired to create Bokksu through a freelancing website so, please review WP:PAID and see WP:DISCLOSEPAY. Thank you GSS 💬 18:37, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
Concern regarding Draft:Richard Bassett
[edit] Hello, Potatotic. This is a bot-delivered message letting you know that Draft:Richard Bassett, a page you created, has not been edited in at least 5 months. Draft space is not an indefinite storage location for content that is not appropriate for article space.
If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion under CSD G13. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it. You may request userfication of the content if it meets requirements.
If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available here.
Thank you for your submission to Wikipedia. FireflyBot (talk) 06:01, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
Your draft article, Draft:Richard Bassett
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/1d/Information_icon4.svg/48px-Information_icon4.svg.png)
Hello, Potatotic. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Richard Bassett".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. If you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Liz Read! Talk! 05:09, 27 June 2021 (UTC)
