User talk:GerrieStampa

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Simplified Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! –Ammarpad (talk) 11:19, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

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. Jimfbleak - talk to me?  12:08, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Unblock?--Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:38, 17 April 2018 (UTC)


 * , I don't object to the editor being unblocked to create a new account, but I'm not sure that GerrieStampa complies with our user name policy much more than Stampacom. Happy to leave it to your judgement though, thanks Jimfbleak - talk to me?  15:45, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * < > Technically, I guess it is complying. But I think it is too close. Will leave it to another. I would recommend something w/o "stampa", but we will see. Maybe an anagram? --Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:51, 17 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I had just implemented a COI edit request of theirs on the article Optiver. Should I self revert? Please advise. Thanks. 0.82em 16:50, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

I think not. Just double check to make sure I missed no promo content.--Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 17:00, 17 April 2018 (UTC)

Unblocked
The "promo" part of the spamu block was actually an attempt by the user to comply with paid. Sorry for the aggravation. Please place template:paid on your user page to make it clearer that you are attempting to so comply. Thanks. Welcome back.--Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 17:09, 17 April 2018 (UTC) Thanks! I'll add the 'paid template' tomorrow GerrieStampa (talk) 16:41, 19 April 2018 (UTC) I've added the 'paid template'. GerrieStampa (talk) 15:46, 24 April 2018 (UTC)
 * I've done the rename, so no need to make a request anywhere else. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:27, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
