User talk:UnwantedWitness

Welcome!
Hello, UnwantedWitness, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:UnwantedWitness/sandbox, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome! --  EN  - Jungwon  13:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:UnwantedWitness/sandbox


A tag has been placed on User:UnwantedWitness/sandbox, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement of https://www.unwantedwitness.org/about/. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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. --  EN  - Jungwon  13:10, 18 January 2023 (UTC)

January 2023
 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:45, 18 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Wikipedia has articles, not pages. What is your association with the organization? 331dot (talk) 10:24, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * I am doing an internship at the organisation.
 * Pings do not work unless you sign your posts with four tildes( ~ ), which you should do with all talk page posts(there is an on screen button that looks like a scribble that performs the same function as well). Please note that an internship, even if you receive no money, counts as "paid editing" under our rules, so you will need to make a formal paid editing disclosure(please see WP:PAID). Please also read conflict of interest.  What topics do you intend to edit about? 331dot (talk) 13:00, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Apologies, I'm learning. Kindly shade more light on what you meant by 'topics'. All I wanted was to create to create a simple article for the organisation.
 * Wikipedia is not a database that merely documents the existence of a topic, nor is it a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, called notability. An article about an organization must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the organization, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable organization. To be permitted to indirectly edit about your organization, we will first need to see a good edit history showing that you understand relevant guidelines about content and contributing it by editing in other, unrelated areas. Are there any other topics you want to edit about. 331dot (talk) 14:20, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for these clear guidelines. Yes, topics that I can edit include; data protection, privacy and digital rights in East Africa. UnwantedWitness (talk) 15:58, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Your paid disclosure belongs on your userpage, using the template  - not, which is meant for article talk pages. I have moved your paid disclosure to its correct location on your userpage.
 * Just so you're aware, your unblock requests have been declined, so you have no active unblock requests. If you want to make another one, you are free to do so. However, in a new unblock request, admins will want you to clearly promise not to edit topic areas that are related to your organization. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 16:20, 19 January 2023 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the clarification. I am going to file another unblock request. UnwantedWitness (talk) 07:06, 20 January 2023 (UTC)


 * Because you did not use the template and include a new username, your newest unblock will be declined unless you correct it. You must change your username in addition to promising not to edit articles related to your employer. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 14:43, 20 January 2023 (UTC)
