Speedy deletion nomination of User:Syandanglobal/sandbox


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Syandanglobal/sandbox, 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. CHRISSY MAD ❯❯❯  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  13:27, 14 July 2018 (UTC)

July 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. - TNT 💖 13:28, 14 July 2018 (UTC)


 * If unblocked and renamed, how would you contribute to Wikipedia? Do you have any affiliation to "Syandan"? - TNT 💖 13:50, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, I am affiliated to Syandan but does that make me illegible to edit on wiki? I am a tech enthusiast and like to read and contribute to things in this space. If wiki policy is to get away account with particular names, I will be very surprised because its too easy to come up with another one. I am writing this reply because I wanted to make it clear that the intention was not what was reasoned out in the blocked command. It is surprising that on one end WiKi policy says that you can try and test to publish a article on your own sandbox as that is your private space and even publishing/writing something in that space earns a block. That calls for a clear review of either this block OR the sandbox description. Anyway, I am not going to contest too much. - User:Syandanglobal
 * Well then you'll need to disclose that - the 'article' you wrote in your sandbox contravened this policy by being an advertisement masquerading as an article (see "The same applies to pages in userspace and the draft namespace."). If unblocked and renamed, would you be willing to not write about "Syandan"? - TNT 💖 14:23, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
 * that policy MUST be highlighted to all new users than specially when Sandbox is highlighted as test ground for new users. What must NOT go in a sandbox MUST be highlighted too. If its CoI, why should I be doing this. As I said it was done as a test article/page. Nothing else. I rest this case here. If this suffice to unblock, very good else I rest case.  - User:Syandanglobal
 * I agree our policies could be more prominent (though they are linked to in quite a few places) - I'll see if we can improve that - TNT 💖 14:46, 14 July 2018 (UTC)


 * I have always thought that it would be much fairer to new users if they were given a brief indication of what kinds of things are acceptable from the start, so that they would not be caught out for breaching policies that they had no way of knowing about. However, that change is highly unlikely to happen any time soon, because there is a very strong culture in Wikipedia that anybody must be able to just go straight in and start editing without any preamble, and that anything which might slow them down or hold them back is totally unacceptable. Also, even if that hurdle were overcome, it would be unrealistic to expect new editors to read all of the policies and guidelines, or even 5% of them, because there is far too much there; consequently whatever selection we might make of what to show to new editors, there would be something missed out which would cause problems for someone. The solution to that problem, in my opinion, is to throw out 99% of the content of our policies and guidelines, and go back to how Wikipedia was in its early days, with just a handful of very short and simple guides on how to edit, rather than long detailed polices that try to cover every eventuality (and fail to do so). However, once again, that isn't going to happen any time soon. As for Syandanglobal, he or she no doubt came here in good faith, and did something that he or she had no reason at all to think would be unacceptable. That being so, I think now that he or she knows about the relevant policy, we should unblock and give him/her another chance. Any comment?

 * I'd support an unblock and rename, there's very few times I'm not okay with second chances I've been toying with the idea of an edit filter which finds edits such as this to new user's sandboxes, and gives them a "Wait a sec, have you read about what is okay to put in your sandbox?" message - TNT 💖 16:53, 14 July 2018 (UTC)
