Speedy deletion nomination of User:AppreciativepracticeUVA


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:AppreciativepracticeUVA, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. VViking Talk Edits 13:56, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

May 2019
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. Additionally, If you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

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. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

This user has engaged in block evasion in May, 2019. --Yamla (talk) 15:07, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

What contributions do you want to make? You will need to read WP:COI and WP:PAID and agree to not edit about anything related to your conflict of interest. You will also need to explain your use of another account. 331dot (talk) 16:18, 8 May 2019 (UTC)

renaming
If there is a concern about socking, it would be best to postpone renaming until that concern is resolved. Reviewing admins/CU's please let me know.  Dloh Cier  ekim  18:43, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * I blocked, the sock account. I don't object to an unblock if the user demonstrates they understand WP:SOCK and will stick to only a single account, going forward. And of course, will adhere to WP:COI and WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 18:46, 8 May 2019 (UTC)
 * globally renamed AppreciativepracticeUVA to Scots10024. Another admin will review the unblock request.  Dloh Cier  ekim  14:50, 9 May 2019 (UTC)

Have read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Promotion. Will stick to single account, preferably Linbeeca (if unblocked) to edit topics unrelated. If that one is not salvageable, will use Scots10024 as single account. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.54.142.146 (talk • contribs)

Have read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Promotion. Will stick to single account, preferably Linbeeca (has this one been unblocked?) to edit topics unrelated.

 * Although this does not answer the question posed by 331dot ("What contributions do you want to make?"), it does largely resolve the concerns. Bishonen, you are the blocking admin on this, the original account. I'm the blocking admin on Linbeeca. What are your thoughts as to me lifting the block on the latter and monitoring to ensure they do not violate WP:COI and suchlike? --Yamla (talk) 13:28, 10 May 2019 (UTC)


 * Sure, go ahead, Yamla, and thanks for taking care of it. Bishonen &#124; talk 15:51, 10 May 2019 (UTC).
