User talk:Thecraigschool

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first pages you edited was The Craig School, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that page.

In addition, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for any contribution you make, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation to comply with our terms of use and our policy on paid editing.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:
 * Best practices for editors with close associations
 * Plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Tutorial
 * How to edit a page and How to develop articles
 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Simplified Manual of Style
 * Task Center – need some ideas of what kind of things need doing? Go here.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date.

If you've had a new article rejected or deleted, new article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE  and on IRC chatAgain, welcome! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here. Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.
 * To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
 * If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

is pending. As you claim a position of authority at the school, please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. You should not edit directly. If by "compromised" (WP:COMPROMISED), you mean "WP:BLOCKED," you'll need to try to clear that up here. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:48, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * You will need to discuss content and sourcing at  Talk:The Craig School --  Deepfriedokra (talk) 14:50, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I have requested three times for unblocking and also renaming so I can get this corrected. Have been denied. I made the correct changes to the account on August 8th, we have a new head of school and directors that I corrected in the listing portion. These changes were up then changed back and became blocked a month later. I have been trying to unblock and make edits for three weeks. Thecraigschool (talk) 15:27, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * You said this account is compromised. What did you mean? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:32, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Where did you make these requests? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Carrying over from UTRS ticket. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Thecraigschool	2023-09-17 15:24:03	I requested ( three times) thru the talk page for a unblocking and renaming- was denied.
 * Deepfriedokra	2023-09-17 17:37:11	Not a random person. An admin. YOU WERE BLOCKED from editing because of the user name and then because you said the account is compromised. Don't know who you emailed, but that is not how you request a new username and not how you request unblocking. Your changes were reverted because you did nt cite a source and because you said the account is compromised.
 * Deepfriedokra	2023-09-17 17:37:46	There were no edits to your talk page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:40, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

Unblock discussion
A a global remaner, I can see your rename requests, where you claimed "hacked" and "compromised." It seems clear to me you meant blocked from editing. WP:ADMINs are sysops, with the power to block accounts. First for the username and then because you claimed "hacked" and "compromised." Please follow the link that explains what "compromised" means to us. Renamers do not unblock accounts. It would have been better to follow the instructions in the block notice. I will ask a WP:check user to confirm, if possible, you are the original account holder. That would simplify matters. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:53, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I have a checkuser via IRC. Either they can verify or they cannot. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:57, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Just glad did not global lock  . . . . --  Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:59, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Just noting (as the CU apparently on retainer...) that I believe there is a miscommunication more than anything about the unblock request; nothing pops on a check to indicate a compromised account. Primefac (talk) 18:06, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The Best! -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:09, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I will be happy to rename you if you follow the instructions in the block notice. Thanks-- Deepfriedokra (talk) 18:10, 17 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Sorry for the confusion, the page has a lot of info to try to follow in this case. Am I unblocked? Thecraigschool (talk) 20:23, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * whereas the block notice I am supposed to follow to become unblocked? Thecraigschool (talk) 20:25, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
 * The big blue background notice under August . . . . -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:28, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
