Speedy deletion nomination of User:Joshsamesurf/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:Joshsamesurf/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Rosalina2427  (talk to me)  22:23, 22 August 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.


 * I think your current username is OK as it identifies you as an individual ("Josh" Samesurf); but you were also blocked for promotional editing. Please explain your relationship to Samesurf. 331dot (talk) 23:04, 22 August 2018 (UTC)

331dot I understand. I was adapting the wording from content related to the organization found in the articles I was using as references to a more objective tone in order build the encyclopedia entry and was unaware that my changes in the sandbox were actually being published. I thought that it was just a test environment. Throughout the course of my edits certain things that could be interpreted as biased towards the organization got published. I am not a part of the organization, but I do use the technology.
 * Okay, so your username probably should be changed so it doesn't suggest that you are associated with Samesurf. Your sandbox is a test environment, but edits to it are visible to anyone and your edits combined with your username suggested you are a company representative promoting the company- and promotional editing is not acceptable anywhere on Wikipedia. Materialscientist, I would appreciate any thoughts you have on this. 331dot (talk) 09:03, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I for one would want an assurance they would not write about samesurf.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 14:51, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
 * I'll second that. What would you write about instead? 331dot (talk) 19:36, 23 August 2018 (UTC)
