User talk:SScotchJim

Welcome!
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. Alexf(talk) 21:50, 18 June 2018 (UTC)

Only one unblock request is needed. I've nullified the other two, and left the most recent one intact. SQL Query me! 04:48, 20 June 2018 (UTC) {{t1|unblock|Thank you for your feedback. Now that I've done the research, what's happened is actually very disturbing and appears to fly in the face of the principals and philosophy that I thought Wikipedia was based on. Please review the following facts and come to your own conclusion. Sorry for the long explanation, but facts are important. It appears that two Wikipedia users (Stetsmo and GermanJoe) are deciding for all wikipedia users what content is "relevant" for the PSA Comparison listing based on their own personal perspective. The list was originally created by Wikipedia user Timetheif on July 11th, 2011, by July 5th, 2012 there were 10 PSA vendors listed: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?itle=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=500800403. On September 25, 2012, I added the Promys PSA software to the vendor listing: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?itle=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=513910441. The originator of the list Timethief reviewed and made edits to the PSA Comparison list on Nov 15th 2012, April 22nd & 23rd 2013 and April 20th 2016: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=716189918, without seeming to find any objection to the Promys PSA addition, language or content. The list had now grown to 38 PSA software vendors. On December 13th, 2016, Wikipedia user Stetsmo removed 30 of 41 vendors listed including several of the vendors originally added by the list creator Timethief.: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=754716905. On February 15th, 2017 I added Promys PSA back to the PSA Comparison list that we had been on previously for 4 years:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?itle=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=765649229. On December 1st, 2017 GermanJoe deleted Promys from the listing along with several other PSA vendors:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=813061783. On December 5th, 2017, Harmony PSA added themselves to the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=813823576 and on December 5th GermanJoe deleted them:https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=813843698. On May 18th, 2017 Kaspermayand added Forecast to the PSA Comparison list: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=841853897 and on May 19th, 2017 GermanJoe deleted them: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=841990631. On June 11th, 2018 Tanner.spear added Kimble PSA to the list: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=845465569, on June 12th, 2018 GermanJoe deleted the Kimble PSA listing: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Comparison_of_PSA_systems&oldid=845468042. And on June 18th I added Promys PSA back to the list and on June 18th German Joe deleted that listing. In adding our solution to the listing, we were very respectful of Wikipedia policy regarding using only factual and non-promotional language and we were glad to see the list grow to 41 listings as we felt this benefited all Wikipedia users looking for more information about PSA Software options. So my feedback is, if I have been blocked and censored for simply adding the Promys listing back to a PSA Comparison list we were on for 4 years and legitimately belong on (along with Harmony PSA, Kimble PSA and 30+ vendors who have all been deleted) because of my vendor affiliation, isn't the real challenge or question, who GermanJoe or Stetsmo are affiliated with, since they are the ones actually deleting information from Wikipedia and curating content for all Wikipedia users who might be looking for more information on PSA software vendors?SScotchJim (talk) 19:00, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * The removals are entirely in line with Wikipedia's guidelines for list articles, which require that list entries meet Wikipedia's notability requirements - this is taken to mean that there is already an article on the subject. Since neither Promys, Harmony nor Kimble have an existing Wikipedia article, they do not belong in the list. Rather than accusing other editors of a conflict of interest when they are simply upholding Wikipedia's normal policies, it might be advisable for you to address your own very evident conflict of interest, since until you do so you will not be permitted to edit here.

{{t1|unblock|Thank you for your feedback Yunshui. Could you please explain your feedback in the context of this Wikipedia content regarding List Notability:Stand-alone lists and Company lists. WP:LISTCOMPANY A company or organization may be included in a list of companies or organizations whether or not it meets the Wikipedia notability requirement, unless a given list specifically requires this. If the company or organization does not have an existing article in Wikipedia, a citation to an independent, reliable source should be provided to establish its membership in the list's group. Shortcuts WP:NOTESAL WP:LISTN Further information: Wikipedia:Manual of Style (stand-alone lists) § Selection criteria See also: Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lists § Adding individual items to a list Notability guidelines also apply to the creation of stand-alone lists and tables. Notability of lists (whether titled as "List of Xs" or "Xs") is based on the group. One accepted reason why a list topic is considered notable is if it has been discussed as a group or set by independent reliable sources, per the above guidelines; notable list topics are appropriate for a stand-alone list. The entirety of the list does not need to be documented in sources for notability, only that the grouping or set in general has been. Because the group or set is notable, the individual items in the list do not need to be independently notable, although editors may, at their discretion, choose to limit large lists by only including entries for independently notable items or those with Wikipedia articles. There is no present consensus for how to assess the notability of more complex and cross-categorization lists (such as "Lists of X of Y") or what other criteria may justify the notability of stand-alone lists, although non-encyclopedic cross-categorizations are touched upon in Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Lists that fulfill recognized informational, navigation, or development purposes often are kept regardless of any demonstrated notability. Editors are still urged to demonstrate list notability via the grouping itself before creating stand-alone lists.Lists of companies and organizations Shortcut SScotchJim (talk) 18:12, 16 July 2018 (UTC) {{t1|unblock|WP:LISTCOMPANY. I'm going to respectfully protest again, regarding why my and other PSA solution provider companies were removed from the PSA comparison list, based on this Wikipedia guideline. If someone not related to our company adds us back, we'll just be removed again by germanjoe. This is not about my conflict of interest, it's about a Wikipedia user deciding for all other users which companies are and are not relevant in this comparison. A company or organization may be included in a list of companies or organizations whether or not it meets the Wikipedia notability requirement, unless a given list specifically requires this. If the company or organization does not have an existing article in Wikipedia, a citation to an independent, reliable source should be provided to establish its membership in the list's group.SScotchJim (talk) 16:35, 19 July 2018 (UTC)
