Speedy deletion nomination of User:Plussimple/+Simple


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Plussimple/+Simple, 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. Melcous (talk) 21:50, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

November 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. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:14, 18 November 2018 (UTC)

The name of the company I am translated this content for is +Simple so the username I used is PlusSimple. Should I change and use my name instead? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plussimple (talk • contribs)
 * I've formatted your comment as a standard comment; only unblock requests need the unblock request formatting. You need to follow the instructions in your block notice to request a new username; it doesn't need to be your real name, just something to indicate an individual is using this account.  In that request, you will also need to address your policy violations and tell what you will edit about going forward. 331dot (talk) 10:31, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

I have renamed your account from Plussimple to Scourtier, and someone else will review your request. You will be expected to review and comply with WP:COI and WP:PAID, and will likely need to agree to not edit about your clients and tell what topics you will edit about instead. 331dot (talk) 10:44, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Unblock request and discussion
Translating content does not free you of copyright concerns. Nor have you addressed how you would deal with your conflicts of interest. --Yamla (talk) 12:27, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I also note that you claim to have created this image: File:Logo-plus-simple.png. Was that a lie? --Yamla (talk) 12:44, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

There's a "growth hacker" working at plussimple with the last name, Courtier. Given your username, what exactly is your relationship to that person? --Yamla (talk) 12:53, 16 January 2019 (UTC)

I don't understand your process of verification. I have done what you've asked me. I have explained multiple times what I am doing on Wikipedia. About the conflict of interest, forget it I won't be trying to translate any content on Wikipedia. It has nothing to do with the growth hacker but I can change again my username if you want me to. Regarding the file, I have been authorized by +Simple to use the image that they created but I will modify the description to be more specific.
 * I'm sorry, but I still feel the need to inquire further. Authorized? To what end? Verification? What verification? And the issue is less your user name than the appearance that you are editing on behalf of an outside entity. As you will not be translating more articles into Wikipedia, please tell us what constructive edits you would make. Not sure about the use of logo's on Wikipedia. (not my forte) If it is the intellectual property of Simple and you claim to be the creator/owner of said property, we have questions. And if you are authorized by Simple, then there is again the question of a conflict of interest. And being an independent translator does not mean WP:PAID does not apply..-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 20:20, 17 January 2019 (UTC)
