User talk:SAMBasketMassagno

November 2018
Hello, I'm Longhair. I noticed that you recently removed content from SAM Basket without adequately explaining why. In the future, it would be helpful to others if you described your changes to Wikipedia with an accurate edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the removed content has been restored. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks.

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. Longhair\talk 08:10, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Hello and thanks for your message. Firstly, I am only aware of one article about your organisation. Can you please provide information on the duplicate article thanks? Secondly, I blocked your account as your choice of username is in violation of our username policy which states that Wikipedia accounts must only be used by one person and not be representative of an organisation. Further, due to edits to the article about your organisation, that was viewed as promotional editing which is also not permitted at Wikipedia. Another admnistrator will review your unblock request but I'd be happy to look into the duplicate article issue meanwhile thanks. -- Longhair\talk 08:39, 20 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Thank you Longhair, I am sorry I didn't know that the username I choose could have been a problem. I will create a new one more "individual".


 * For what concern the duplicate article, here are the offical and the non-official pages that I talking about:
 * official (made by me yesterday night, 19-11-2018): https://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Societ%C3%A0_Atletica_Basket_Massagno
 * non-official (already existing page made by unknown): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SAM_Basket


 * Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by SAMBasketMassagno (talk • contribs)


 * The page you created is located on the Italian Wikipedia, you are currently editing the English Wikipedia. They are two separate websites and the articles are two different articles with different content. They cannot be merged and will continue to coexist alongside each other to cater for readers who read the appropriate language. Do not create another username until another administrator has dealt with your unblock request. You will be required to choose another username however which you can inform us of here at this page. -- Longhair\talk 09:11, 20 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you for explaining me. You have been very clear. I will wait until they ask me to change my username and than update the english version with up-to-date information.


 * Have a good day and thank you again. — Preceding unsigned comment added by SAMBasketMassagno (talk • contribs)


 * It is not advised to edit the article yourself directly, but rather to request edits on the article talk page due to your conflict of interest with this article. The links I've provided here will hopefully assist you to understand the issue concerning editing of articles which you have an involvement with. -- Longhair\talk 09:38, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Please choose another username (you may check here if your choice of username is already in use) and I will assist to file your request for unblocking once that is done. -- Longhair\talk 09:39, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
