User talk:Onegunshy

December 2018
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. 331dot (talk) 09:04, 14 December 2018 (UTC) --UTRSBot (talk) 13:55, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

Someone else will review your request. Please read other stuff exists. Other bands having articles here does not automatically mean that yours merits one too. Each article is judged on its own merits. Furthermore, you were editing your user page, which is not article space(article space does not have "User:" in the title) and is meant to introduce yourself to the Wikipedia community in the context of your Wikipedia editing or use. You seem to have confused creating your account with creating an article. You need to follow the instructions in your block notice to request a new username that indicates an individual is using this account(it need not be your real name). Please also review conflict of interest. Users with a conflict of interest should not directly edit about things in its area.

What you describe as your purpose here is considered promotional. Wikipedia is not for merely telling the world about things. If you just want to tell the world about the history of your band, you should do so on your own website or social media. This is an encyclopedia, where article subjects must be shown with independent reliable sources to meet the relevant notability guidelines, in this case those written at WP:BAND. Wikipedia has no interest in what an article subject wants to say about itself, only in what independent sources state. In order for you to be successful in writing about your own band, you would need to forget everything you know about it and only write based on what independent sources have published about your band. The vast majority of people cannot do this. If you want to be a general Wikipedia contributor and write about other subjects, please state what those might be. Otherwise, you may want to consider an alternative forum. 331dot (talk) 20:45, 14 December 2018 (UTC)
