User talk:Jberek

Welcome
Hello, Jberek, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This 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 has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! VQuakr (talk) 01:28, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions to Wikipedia, but at least one of your recent edits, such as the one you made to Jonathan Berek, did not appear to be constructive and has been automatically reverted (undone) by ClueBot NG.
 * Please use the sandbox for any test edits you would like to make, and take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Note that human editors do monitor recent changes to Wikipedia articles, and administrators have the ability to block users from editing if they repeatedly engage in vandalism.
 * ClueBot NG produces very few false positives, but it does happen. If you believe the change you made should not have been detected as unconstructive, please read about it, [ report it here], remove this warning from your talk page, and then make the edit again.
 * The following is the log entry regarding this warning: Jonathan Berek was changed by Jberek (u) (t) ANN scored at 0.962373 on 2011-02-21T18:50:03+00:00 . Thank you. ClueBot NG (talk) 18:50, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

Deletion of an article at your request is only possible for pages which you authored, and to which there have been no other significant contributions. If there is a good reason that this page should be deleted, feel free to explain here, on my talk page, through my email, or here. VQuakr (talk) 22:07, 21 February 2011 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Jberek, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an email to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:13, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * You need to stop using Wikipedia for self promotion. If this continues you will be blocked indefinitely. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:16, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

I have been editing to make corrections, the current version is not accurate.
 * You have been warned about the proper way to submit changes to an article and you ignored them. As well, nearly none of your additions were sourced. If this continues I will block you indefinitely until you comply with WP:COI. Wikipedia isn’t your personal website. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:24, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

Ok, so what is the process for editing a page that is about me? I would like it to be accurate. I was using articles as sources. A colleague added the article about me, and I am attempting to correct it and add detail. Thank you
 * After confirming your identity as stated in the block please use WP:Edit requests (with sources) to propose changes. A lot of your additions were unsourced which violated our verifiably policy. See, it’s important that everything is sourced not just to double check facts but to also protect you, the living person. Someone could write anything on the page and without a source we would have no way of proving it. HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:31, 25 December 2019 (UTC)

I understand, I have sent email to the "info-en@wikimedia.org"  link in an attempt to verify my identity. I hope that will help and I will hold off on continuing to edit until I hear back from that.
 * Thanks you for your understanding and happy holidays! HickoryOughtShirt?4 (talk) 23:53, 25 December 2019 (UTC)
 * Identity verified. Jberek: if you have any questions, please let us know by posting them here. -- The SandDoctor Talk 09:41, 27 December 2019 (UTC)
