Article post
Please stop spamming so many editors' talk pages with requests that they work on your draft articles. It's inappropriate. And why is it so urgent that Draft:Mikhail Lebedev (neuorscientist) be nominated for good or featured article within 30 days? Schazjmd  (talk)  01:25, 23 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Here is a very famous neuroscientist who gets a lot of news coverage. But there are no articles about him on Wikipedia at all.

 * Posting your demand for someone else to work on your article on multiple project and WP talk pages is not appropriate either. Please stop doing that. Schazjmd   (talk)  01:50, 23 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I will stop. Is the article approvable now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by LotteryGeek (talk • contribs)


 * Please always sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ). I am not an article reviewer, however I doubt that it will be approved in the state that it is in. Your draft is not ready for mainspace yet. Please look at other articles to get an idea of what an article should look like and what information it should contain. Your first article may offer you some useful tips. You might also find User:Nick Moyes/Easier Referencing for Beginners to be helpful. Good luck. Schazjmd   (talk)  02:04, 23 January 2021 (UTC)


 * You said you would stop, but then you post comments such as this on Schazjmd's talk page soon after. You seem very adamant about having this article finished by some sort of deadline to the point where you expect others to drop what they are doing and do this for you. Is it because you are being paid to write about this subject? If so, you must disclose that information. -- Kinu t/c 02:30, 23 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I am not being paid. I am not skilled enough of a Wikipedia editor for anyone to pay yet. But I do wish to build a portfolio and want to start having a couple of good and featured articles. Otherwise, I will not have any credibility on here.  Do you have articles on how to become a credible Wikipedian SOON?
 * Before I respond to your question, please answer this one: what is your purpose for editing Wikipedia? -- Kinu t/c 02:36, 23 January 2021 (UTC)


 * I want to promote articles that I am interested in. For instance, I just started a third article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Stop_the_steal
 * If you can't see why that draft is even more inappropriate than the first two you've created, I see no point in wasting more of my time here. -- Kinu t/c 02:48, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Can you please provide me some examples of articles should look like on those topics that become good and featured articles with the help of others? And please remember. IT IS A DRAFT. I spent minutes on it. Once other people help me, it will become at least a good article.
 * The extreme POV wording of that draft and your user page commentary suggest that you are here to push a particular point of view and not to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. After some investigation, I see the username under which you were previously blocked also. I see no benefit in allowing you to edit here. -- <strong style="color:blue">Kinu <i style="color: red">t</i>/<i style="color:red">c</i> 02:57, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

About writing articles
I saw your post on many people's talk pages, and so I'm going to respond here to clear up some misconceptions you may have about how Wikipedia works.

First, please stop going to so many people's talk pages and asking them to work on particular articles. Wikipedia is written by volunteers, who write articles about whatever they find interesting. There's also no deadline; we don't urgently need to write articles. This is, in part, because it takes a long time to write articles. Writing your first good or featured article is going to take quite a bit of time.

Also, Wikipedia doesn't strive to have an article about everything and everyone, but only those things/people that have enough information available about them to make a decent article (for the details, see the general notability guideline).

 * No, the purpose of an encyclopedia, including this one, is not to include all points of view. Its goal is to include information that is discussed in reliable, third-party sources.

 * I will consider this unblock request, and I am currently leaning toward granting one with a topic ban on post-1992 United States politics (as mentioned in the discretionary sanctions notice a few sections up). So that there are no misunderstandings later, I would suggest you read precisely what a topic ban covers: not just articles about post-1992 US politics, but articles substantially related to the topic (politicians, laws, etc), discussions related to those articles, and parts of articles where the main article isn't covered by this sanction but the section is relevant (for example, while you could edit California, you would not be permitted to edit California, and a few other cases listed in the link I gave. You should also recognize that you will probably be under increased scrutiny from other editors and any violations of your topic ban will result in another block (one which will be much harder to get out of). After having read all of that, are you still willing to be unblocked with a topic ban? GeneralNotability (talk) 02:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Yes, I understand that. I agree to the topic ban as I am easily triggered by and biased on the US politics topics.
