User talk:Blythe Smart Publications

 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 gives the impression 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; and
 * 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; and
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
 * 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) 14:46, 10 April 2024 (UTC)


 * Dear Cullen328
 * Do you work for Wikipedia ? How have you come across my edit and judged it? Just asking. I have been busy since you sent this and have just had a chance to try and deal with it. I cannot see where to post the text to unblock. Please advise me.
 * Here is what I need to say to try and sort it out (from what I understand that you wrote).
 * I confirm that I will receive no compensation for the contributions I have written and understand that I have been blocked as my username (which was an error written late at night when I did not consider it properly) gave the impression that it represented a business.
 * This was not put on for commercial reasons. The book 'Arthur Pember's Great Adventures' by John Blythe Smart was researched in 2003 to 2006 and is the biography of Arthur Pember. This is the original research for Arthur Pember who was previously unknown. Someone has put much of this information about him on Wikipedia having read this book and not credited it as the source. By removing and blocking it you are suppressing the book's rightful place as the leading source and original research about Arthur Pember.
 * In particular we discovered his link to Sherlock Holmes as recorded in the book but this link is quoted on the Wikipedia site without referencing the book. This is likewise true of all his family history and the New York Times articles by Arthur Pember which were discovered by original research for the book.
 * Please unblock me so the book can be entered as is only right as this is not done to sell the book just to point to the source of the information and where more can be read about him and his work is collated and revealed originally.
 * Please also advise me the correct format to add this book and that it is the original source.
 * Please change my username to Glenyskiwibrit. Blythe Smart Publications (talk) 17:20, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * I am a volunteer Wikipedia administrator with 15 years of experience on this website. I came across your edits because your account was reported for a username violation. You must follow the unblock instructions in the block notice above very carefully, using the appropriate template. You can place the template below. Once you do so, another administrator will come along and evaluate your appeal of your block. I will place Arthur Pember on my watch list. Cullen328 (talk) 17:33, 8 May 2024 (UTC)
 * We have looked into this matter further and taken advice. The Wikipedia site 'Arthur Pember' has been lifted directly from the book 'Arthur Pember's Great Adventures' except for a few minor additions. The subject headings are a direct copy of those in the book. The information has been posted without giving proper credit in breach of copyright and we have therefore submitted a copyright violation for the page to Wikipedia. We believe you have removed the reference to the book illegally and we would have thought with 15 years experience you would have seen it was a valid source and not commercial. Please supply the contact detail of the person who reported the edit as being commercial since we believe there is foul play by them (or yourself).

 * We sent this to Wikipedia copyright but maybe you can explain something?
 * Dear Sir or Madam
 * I wrote to you about a copyright violation regarding our book 'Arthur Pember's Great Adventures' and see that someone ordered this from Kindle on 10 May and then returned it. Please can you update us on progress so our book can be put on this site as a source in its rightful place. This issue has left us most anxious.

 * We just wanted to advise you that were continuing to pursue the matter of copyright, inaccuracy and lack of proper citation on the Arthur Pember site. As a member of the Wikipedia community we shall be monitoring the site for any false, bias or misleading information and endeavor to have it corrected.

 * Please log in and confirm that you made the above request while logged out. Jake Wartenberg (talk) 16:08, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * There's a bit of very specific wording in this unblock, so it would be clarifying to simply ask directly: What connection do you have with Blythe Smart Publications? Because, I will note, that your requested username has multiple connections with one of the publicly disclosed people involved with Blythe Smart Publications (this is a publicly available link found with a simple Google Search). That points to a conflict of interest. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 18:13, 11 June 2024 (UTC)
 * This book was self published and I am married to the author. We only wanted to have the correct citation for the information about Arthur Pember which we originally discovered and which has been used in the Wikipedia article about him without citation. I do not wish to make any other edits, I am not technologically informed enough to understand how to go about it. I request solely that someone please place a citation for the book 'Arthur Pember's Great Adventures' by John Blythe Smart on this article, particularly for the link to Sherlock Holmes which has no citations. This book is in the Smithsonian, also in John Hopkins University library placed there by Professor J.G.A. Pocock. This book was self published many years ago now and although it was for sale many copies were indeed given away and we are not even recouping costs with this book. We are not trying to sell it or advertise it at all. We respect Wikipedia'a purpose and rules. We just respectfully appeal for the rightful credit to be applied.
 * I am not sure if I am even able to "log in" as I am blocked so please excuse me posting this without logging in.
