User talk:Dr. Todd Hanna

Welcome!
Hello, Dr. Todd Hanna, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was User:Dr. Todd Hanna/sandbox/Todd Hanna, MD, DDS, FACS, which appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! GPL93 (talk) 18:57, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Dr. Todd Hanna/sandbox/Todd Hanna, MD, DDS, FACS


A tag has been placed on User:Dr. Todd Hanna/sandbox/Todd Hanna, MD, DDS, FACS, 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://www.toddhannamddds.com/. (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.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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. GPL93 (talk) 18:58, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at User:Dr. Todd Hanna/sandbox/Todd Hanna, MD, DDS, FACS, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Sulfurboy (talk) 19:15, 21 April 2020 (UTC)

I'm not an admin, but I would strongly recommend that you read, understand, accept WP:GAB — "Guide to appealing blocks". Your current appeal seems, to me, to be doomed to failure. I recommend that you re-write your appeal in the light of WP:GAB. —  Wasell ( T ) 17:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
 * 1) You sprinkle your appeal with unnecessary and unwanted apologies; we're not really interested in how sorry you are about your transgressions. We want to make sure that they wont happen again.
 * 2) Your appeal doesn't show that you understand our standards on WP:SOAP, WP:SOCK and WP:MEAT. On the contrary, you seem to be intent on continuing: "I intende to use the other account as a personal account and I will have this account monitored by my superior.
 * 3) Your appeal says precious little about what you would contribute if you were unblocked.


 * In an earlier version of this request you mentioned your supervisor. I assume that means that you are not Dr. Todd Hanna. In that case you'll need to propose a new username; we cannot have someone else impersonate Dr. Hanna on Wikipedia. (Personally I'd be okay with leaving this account blocked and considering an unblock request for User:Elorydale, if that's who you are. If you are Dr. Hanna, you'll need to provide evidence via email; either way, see WP:IMPERSONATE for details.) That said, given the content that you considered appropriate for an encyclopedia before having been told differently, I will not lift this block unless you explicitly agree to not edit about Dr. Hanna (a topic ban).

 * In connection with your use of two accounts, you have said "Evading detection and disrupting the community were never my intent". Can you tell us what was your intent? I see that you switched to another account and in its user space created a second copy of a page, 30 minutes after being informed that the first copy might be deleted, and 13 minutes after you were warned of a block if you continued in the same way. You can no doubt imagine that acting in that way is likely to look to others like an attempt to evade detection, and it will help if you can dispel any possibility of anyone making that misinterpretation if you can explain what your purpose in doing so actually was.
