Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Your submission at Articles for creation: Chrystal Copland (March 29)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Velella was:

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

This reads like either severe COI editing or paid for content. I has taken me half an hour to even make it readable. It needs independent and reliable refs not all this light-weight tat.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Chrystal Copland and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Chrystal Copland, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

March 2021

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats or taking legal action.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia while the threats stand or the legal action is unresolved.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Nick-D (talk) 10:22, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked in regards to the legal threat you made here. It also seems likely that you have some form of undisclosed conflict of interest with the person whose article you are seeking to have added through the article for creation process, which has been your only reason for editing. Nick-D (talk) 10:23, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

I was not making any legal threats, I simply felt very much so that the article was not being taken seriously and that it did not matter. Very much felt like this was being looked at as an advertisement because of Modelling. This was in no way a legal threat. Nobody is taking the article seriously and will not help or make it easier. I don't know how to use wikipedia. thanks

Defamation and libel are both legal terms with legal consequences. --Orange Mike | Talk 15:15, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Next moves

Just in case you do see this and do make a reasoned and appropriate request for an unblock, may I set out some issues that need resolution:

What is your relationship to the subject of the article? You clearly have a relationship. Maybe you are the subject herself, or the photographer, or her agent or something else. Whatever it is it needs to be declared on your user page - please see WP:COI for more information.
Your first version of the article was, to put it mildly, a total mess. At Wikipedia we are all volunteers who, for the most part, have put in time to learn how Wikipedia works, what is acceptable and what is not and how to add references. It is something of a slap in the face to be faced with such a draft as you presented. It shouted disrespect to the Wikipedia community. If you can get unblocked, you are welcome here, but please put the effort in to be a constructive contributor and not a total drain on editors' time.
The photographs you have uploaded assert that they are self taken. This would mean that you are the photographer and that you have freely donated the copyright to Wikimedia. Is this correct?
The issues re some of your comments have already been dealt with and resulted in a block. However , in the same edit you also said: This young lady has worked very hard to be where she is and you absolutely have wronged her with these comments. Please publish this article and stop bullying Models.. I personally take great exception to that. None of the comments made were about either you the editor or about the subject of the article. They were about the sloppy and unthinking work put into creating the Draft without any regard for the efforts of the reviewing editors. There are many female editors who are subject to varying levels of bullying behaviour and harassment on Wikipedia which is always unacceptable. Your words substantially trivialise this issue and this is unacceptable and I invite you repudiate your words and apologise for their use. Velella ^{Velella Talk} 15:25, 30 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am very sorry about this, I am new to Wikipedia. I apologize. I also apologize for typing this here, I don't understand how to do the unblock appeal, it was on the page before and now I cannot find out how to do it. Sorry about this. I was not aware of the harassment and bullying of female editors, it was not mu intention to trivialize the matter. I understand it to be a very serious matter and not a trivial one. I was not sure how to add references, I was under the impression that when you paste links they become references on the article. Sorry, I really don't know how to edit Wikipedia at all. I hope that my frustration with a lack of understanding for the code of ethics can be forgiven, It was not my intention to cause any problems. I was hoping to write the article for Chrystal, I do know Chrystal, though I am not a close person to her on a personal level. I hope you can forgive my terrible efforts at this article, I was becoming increasingly frustrated as I do not know how to do this too well. If it is at all possible, would there be a way a professional, could possibly show the way to do this, or am I able to request an editor if they are able to please help with this?

Thank you. I think it's best I don't write the article, I am understanding that from a third person perspective it is looking biased.

@Purple velvet22: Are you interested in writing any other articles at Wikipedia, or only that one? If you wish to continue at Wikipedia, you will need to request an unblock. Here is how you do that. You're familiar with what "copy & paste" means, right? Copy the following line:

{{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

and paste it below. Copy the whole line, including the two curly brackets at each end. Either edit this section or create a new section, and paste it onto the page. Where you see the words, "Your reason here", change those words to your own words, writing about why you want to be unblocked. An admin will read your unblock request, and either accept it, or decline it. Try to use words that will be persuasive to an admin that you understand why you were blocked in the first place, and describe what you will do differently afterward, if the admin accepts your request. You can use as many words as you need.

There is a how-to guide available, that explains in detail the kinds of things you should think about, while writing your unblock request. You should probably read this guide first, before starting your unblock request. Click this blue link to read the guide: Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks. If you have any questions, feel free to ask below. I hope this helps, and good luck, Mathglot (talk) 18:15, 31 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
