User talk:VaalStereo

Welcome!
Hello, VaalStereo, 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:VaalStereo, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:VaalStereo


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:VaalStereo, 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. 10mmsocket (talk) 08:33, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

December 2021
 Your account has been blocked indefinitely 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 name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than 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:
 * 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.

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. Cullen328 (talk) 08:45, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Hi. The proposed new username looks okay but you also have an obvious conflict of interest with Vaal Stereo as a business. Wikipedia generally doesn't allow people to edit articles on subjects with which they have a personal association. Therefore, before an unblock could be considered you would first need to agree not to edit any article or part of an article relating to Vaal Stereo or any closely related subject (eg any articles on Vaal Stereo employees or programming). Of course that leaves several million other Wikipedia articles that you would be free to contribute to. Let me know if this sounds okay as a restriction.

A second condition of any unblock is permission from the blocking administrator, who I have pinged in the above template. This is because the blocking administrator may be aware of other reasons for the block besides those evident in your edit history (eg. abusing multiple accounts). If the blocking administrator declines to give approval there is no real prospect of an unblock proceeding.

So the short version of the above: this account can possibly be unblocked if you agree to a topic ban from Vaal Stereo or any related subject, and the blocking administrator agrees. Views welcome. -- Euryalus (talk) 09:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * , all that I know is the promotional username and promotional user page. There is no back story. I have no objection to an unblock under the terms you suggest. Cullen328 (talk) 17:02, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks . VaalStereo, over to you re whether you agree to the topic ban. -- Euryalus (talk) 20:36, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
