User talk:Buddybison

Welcome!
Hello, Buddybison, 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:Buddybison/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:Buddybison/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Buddybison/sandbox, 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 FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://parktrust.org/about-us/public-lands-for-all/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Your contested deletion

 * 1) You cannot post copyrighted material on Wikipedia - even if you are the copyright holder, or have the copyright holder's permission - unless the material has been released for use by the verified copyright owner into the public domain or under a license compatible with Wikipedia. These licenses allow anyone — not just Wikipedia — to share, distribute, transmit, and adapt your work, free of charge and in perpetuity, provided that you are attributed as the author. Also, because some derivative works may be commercial, we cannot accept materials that are licensed only for educational use or even for general non-commercial use. Releasing the material is both permanent and irrevocable.
 * 2) Wikipedia requires that organizations meet its notability criteria to be deemed worthy of inclusion. It means this organization must have already been the subject of significant coverage by multiple sources that are both reliable and independent of the organization itself. Company-authored sources (such as press releases, interviews and social media) are defined as self-published and therefore not reliable. Perennial sources is a good place to find out which sources are deemed reliable and which are not.
 * 3) If you have a personal or professional involvement with the organization you are writing about, then you have a conflict of interest (COI). COI editors are not prohibited from contributing, but are highly discouraged to do so, due to the inherent difficulty of writing from the required neutral point of view. Please note that writing with the intention to promote or publicize anything or anyone is strictly prohibited. In addition, if you are being paid directly or indirectly to write about a subject on Wikipedia, then you must disclose this information per Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing policy.
 * 4) Your account name represents your organization, which violates Wikipedia's usernmae policy. Accounts must represent one individual and can never be shared with others. You'll have to change your username or your account will be blocked. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:59, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, 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. In your reasons, you must: 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. Star  Mississippi  17:00, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * 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.


 * I'll leave you request open so that an admin can action the name change, but you will not be unblocked as long as your intent is to write about your organization. Please read the block message again, especially the part that describes how advertising and promotion are prohibited by policy.-- Ponyo bons mots 18:03, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Scratch that, as the name you've chosen runs contrary to WP:USERNAME. Have you read your block message?-- Ponyo bons mots 18:04, 18 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm old. I'm tired. Can you make clear to me the username violation? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:18, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Deepfriedokra
 * the deleted content included the following:
 * Buddy Bison School Program: The Buddy Bison School Program provides outdoor recreation opportunities and environmental education for elementary and middle schools in under-served communities. Through in-person and distance learning resources, National Park Trust provides students with learning experiences from park rangers, naturalists, and other outdoor education professionals.
 * Youth Leadership: The goal of the Buddy Bison Youth Leadership Program is to promote the National Park Trust’s mission of preserving parks today and creating park stewards for tomorrow. Buddy Bison Youth Leaders are volunteers, grades 4 – 12, who educate children and families across the country about the benefits of our natural, cultural, and historical parks
 * If you feel that was too strong a reading of a spam username, I'm totally fine with being overruled on that.  Star   Mississippi  00:55, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * No, I knew I missed it somewhere. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 01:02, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Also tired, however in denial about being old. Star   Mississippi  01:38, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Thanks to for their explanations above. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)

"Because Wikipedia's policy is that usernames should not be shared between more than one individual, the following types of usernames are not permitted because they imply shared use:
 * Usernames that are simply names of companies or groups are not permitted (these also fall under Promotional names).
 * Personal usernames that imply shared access, such as "Jack and Jill", are not permitted.
 * Usernames that are names of posts within organizations, such as "Secretary of the XY Foundation", are not permitted, as such a post may be held by different persons at different times.
 * However, usernames are acceptable if they contain a company or group name but are clearly intended to denote an individual person, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", "WidgetFan87", etc." -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:24, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
