User talk:Acuative

Welcome!
Hello, Acuative, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Acuative/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Acuative/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Acuative/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 22:05, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

August 2023
 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because your account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must: To do this, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.
 * Provide a new username.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Cullen328 (talk) 22:11, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

Help me!
Hi, please help. I understand this account and my sandbox have been blocked due to a lack of topic notability and independent sources, but I'd like to please recover the drafted article that was deleted.

Thank you,

 * You must follow the instructions in the block notice. There is no need to use the admin help template.--Bbb23 (talk) 13:22, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Unlock Request and Sandbox Recovery
I'll note outside the context of the unblock request that company logos cannot be in drafts, as fair use images. 331dot (talk) 15:55, 22 August 2023 (UTC)


 * Hi, I am not sure how to add to the unblock request, but to clarify, I stated that I would not be posting about my company and that I would "like to keep my account unblocked so that I may contribute to articles about technology and computer networking." You stated you would like to see a "good edit history demonstrating that I understand relevant Wikipedia guidelines," but I don't understand what edit history I can have if my account is blocked. I also said that "I understand I did not include enough notable, independent sources so I understand why my sandbox was deleted." Please unblock my account and please allow me to recover the content that had been deleted. Thank you. Acuative (talk) 16:12, 22 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Well, you will need to tell us what topics you will edit about and agree to refrain from editing about your company or anything for which you have a COI for now. Computer networking falls squarely within your COI. 331dot (talk) 09:55, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
 * We can email your sandbox content to you if you add an email address to your account preferences(do not post it here) 331dot (talk) 09:57, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Unblock Request and Sandbox Recovery (cont.)
To be unblocked, you would have to state what general topic areas you would edit (for example - history, science, literature, etc.) that are not directly related to your company or your line of work. If admins accept your unblock request, they would like to see you build up a constructive edit history and understanding of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If all goes well, then you may be allowed to write about your company using the Articles for Creation process where you can submit draft articles for review by neutral editors.

However, if you have no interest in writing about any other topics besides your company, then you should look for an alternative outlet outside of Wikipedia where this type of writing is allowed. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:12, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
