The less charitable interpretation of these events is that you created a new account to avoid the scrutiny that came with your first username. The issue with the draft article is not that others haven't heard of a press outlet or the person never heard of the subject; the draft was written in a promotional manner and used inappropriate sources(IMDB is not an acceptable source on Wikipedia as it is user-editable). If a draft article is written properly the reviewer shouldn't need to have heard of the topic to see if it is properly sourced and meets notability guidelines(in this case WP:BAND). Writing a new article for the encyclopedia is the most difficult task to attempt on Wikipedia, and diving right in often leads to problems like this. Writing about living people is especially challenging as the sourcing requirements are stricter(see WP:BLP). Are there topics you are interested in editing about other than musicians? Would you agree to refrain from submitting drafts about musicians until you have some other editing experience under your belt, by editing in other topic areas? 331dot (talk) 09:13, 12 March 2024 (UTC)

I hope I am replying in the correct place, as the reply button would not work. I went to "edit source" above. I am sorry you seek to assume the worst after I have explained, but as I stated TRUTHFULLY - I created another account because I thought I had to include my name, so I did it to be more upfront rather than to be sneaky and "avoid scrutiny". I was trying to comply with rules, so please forgive me that I did it incorrectly. Yes, there are many topics that I am interested in writing about other than music (even though music remains big one) I can contribute to many other topics & pop culture moments. I'd like to edit articles and get some more experience before submitting another draft. So yes, if I am allowed an unblock, I will be sure to start editing existing articles. I hope that should I make any further mistakes that I am allowed to correct them without being blocked or accused of nefarious activity. Honestly I will try my best to only source absolutely the highest quality material that I can find when I write on a subject. Thank You.

 * Yes, you replied correctly; the Reply feature is imperfect for several reasons and isn't yet appropriate in every situation(they're working on it); it's probably better to use the edit window directly; you just need to remember to sign your posts with ~ at the end(or click the button on the screen that looks like a scribble).
 * I try not to assume the worst- but you need to understand what we see every day- especially amongst people who start off writing about musicians, a topic area that sees much promotional editing either by agents/representatives, or passionate fans who are so passionate they can't write neutrally. I'm not certain what  wants to see here, but my suggestion would be that you avoid writing about musicians period for now until you gain some experience. 331dot (talk) 11:24, 12 March 2024 (UTC)


 * 331dot, thanks for the ping. If this user is prepared to steer clear of writing about Maya in particular, and also gain some competence in making edits to existing pages before creating new articles, I amm, as always, happy to leave it in your competent hands Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:49, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Who is the arbiter of what must be done by others on Wikipedia? Is it Jimfbleak? Just curious. If I am expected to follow all rules, have strong citations for sources, and write words that are 100% informational, I can fully abide by that. I Surely won't ever make the mistake of having another account! (haha.) Sorry again for appearing to "Sockpuppet", and I'm glad I was able to make clear that that wasn't my intention. Even if I like a subject/topic, I believe that writing in a neutral fashion and having strong sources that people don't deem to be "junk sites" will make me a great contributor to the Wikipedia universe. Can I be unblocked now please? I believe I have gained an understanding of what is needed from Wikipedia writers, and I'd love to gain that experience and start contributing. Thank You.

 * We generally do not unblock someone against the wishes of the blocking administrator, which is why I asked what he was looking for. I'm willing to remove the block if you are willing to proceed as Jim and I have said. 331dot (talk) 00:19, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes. To confirm, of course I plan to write neutrally on my knowledgable topics, have only strong citations, and get experience on smaller edits before attempting to add articles. Copy that! Thank You. CarrieW CelebMusicFilmGuru (talk) CarrieW CelebMusicFilmGuru (talk) 01:12, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
