User talk:Arabixiv

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.

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 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 by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 11:36, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

Email received from user on 01/25/18:
 * ''Dear Sir or Madam,
 * I am surprised that you blocked my short article about a new and FREE (YES FREE) Preprint server at the same title as "arXiv.org": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ArXiv or bioRxiv.org: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BioRxiv or SocArxiv: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SocArxiv, etc., etc., for which there are dedicated pages that you did not block for the reasons you are claiming on the ours.
 * ''It was clearly stated in the first lines that “The Arabic Science Archive “arabiXiv '"??????? ?????? ??????"' is a free online submission, distribution, publishing and archival platform to publish scholarly knowledge…””
 * ''You don’t see the word “FREE”? Don’t you see the words “Science” and archival platform to publish scholarly knowledge…? How this could be for promotional business as you claim? Or, because “you might not like the few Arabic words that make you blocking it?”
 * Sir, there are a lot of preprint servers pages already on Wikipedia similar. Why then you are not blocking them but blocking the mine, though they are exactly have the same goal and working by the same principle?
 * Worse than this, there are many true business companies that have their own pages on Wikipedia, but you are not blocking them, either. Apple, Amazon, Toyota, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Mercedes-Benz, etc., are certainly charitable and non-for-profit organizations for you, hence they have their pages non-blocked on Wikipedia…
 * Our organization is NOT for business, Sir, but for a FREE service and scientific content. You seem overlooking it intentionally or unintentionally, though we think it intentionally as it was clearly stated that it is a Free online platform.
 * Otherwise, are you sure that all Wikipedia articles have not been created by other people than their owners?
 * Your reasons of blocking our short article on Arabixiv do NOT fit at all. If one cannot create a page for his or her organization or service, who then can do it better than oneself?
 * Nobody knows his organization better than his owner. How then do you want that someone else to introduce or to talk about a given organization better than their owners?
 * Take this simple example: Can I introduce you, for example, to an audience without knowing you well? Can I introduce you objectively and properly while I do not know who you are, nor what are you doing, nor how are you doing it? Can I create a page about you while I do not know if you are a man or a woman? No. you only know all this information better than anyone else. You are the lone guy or girl who knows yourself better than anyone else to introduce and describe yourself. The same applies on articles on Wikipedia and on our short article that you are blocking unjustly. How do you want that someone else can write and introduce a new organization or service that s/he does not know well? Otherwise, go ahead and do it on our behalf for Arabixiv… and let me know!
 * There are tens of articles on organizations or services similar to ours (again such as, ArXiv, BioRxiv, SocarXiv, etc.). You can search Wikipedia for “preprint servers” and you will see how many similar archives there. So, your arguments for blocking our article on this archive are simply ridiculous.
 * There are certainly many nice guys and girls on Wikipedia but we must be hapless and unlucky.
 * We regret the many times we cited Wikipedia. Rest assured we’ll never do it again.
 * Please remove our account completely from this website.


 * Regards,
 * Arabixiv.

That was a long email, for something you could have said in a paragraph or two. There are several issues here, and all show hat you do not understand Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia of notable subjects. Period.

Now for the important points: This turned out to be a little longer than usual but then again your complaint was long and had to be addressed. If you have any questions about how Wikipedia works, please ask at the Tea House. If you want to be unblocked, please follow the directions above, explaining why, and an uninvolved admin will consider your request. -- Alexf(talk) 17:30, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) Email is used only for issues and information of a private nature. Everything else done in Wikipedia must be made public, and must be done in Talk Pages
 * 2) Your account was blocked (as shown above) for violation of the username rules and because it matches the name of the company you are representing and advertising.
 * 3) You mention your services are free, as if price had anything to do with an encyclopedia. Anything you push, products or services are advertising and contrary to the goals of Wikipedia.
 * 4) You mention that there are other articles for other companies, yet your draft was deleted. All of them are treated independently and have no issue in this discussion. If you find any other articles that you consider advertising or non-notable, please go ahead and act on them according to the deletion policy. That is what an active editor does to help the project.
 * 5) You keep on going about the issues with introducing a new product or service to an audience. That is the definition of advertisement and not acceptable to Wikipedia. In order to understand how to write articles, and about what subjects, please read about the purpose of Wikipedia.
 * 6) If you want your account to be unblocked, email is not the way to request it. There are clear instructions in the blocking notice above on how to do this.
