Speedy deletion nomination of User:Wien52


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Wien52, 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. VViking Talk Edits 14:09, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

August 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. -- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 15:11, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

Hopefully helpful...
Hi Wiens52. I was typing this out when you got blocked, so most of this message will only be relevant after the block itself is dealt with. Sorry to see that you've had a rough start on Wikipedia. We're grateful that you're willing to try and improve Wikipedia by adding pictures, but I'm afraid the way you've gone about it has been rather a disaster...

Firstly, naming your account after your website is a big no-no, I'm afraid. Apart from anything else, it makes it seem as though the only reason you are here is to drive traffic back to your website - which is the main reason you have been blocked. If you choose to appeal the block, you'll need to select a new username. Secondly, photos as external links aren't appropriate for Wikipedia (we're fairly strict regarding what's allowed as external links, as they can be seen as a form of website promotion - as has been the case here). Photos instead need to be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons, Wikipedia's sister project, from whence they can be used in Wikipedia articles. Having seen your website, you have many beautiful photographs, and we would be very grateful if you would be willing to donate them to Wikipedia, but... (and it's a big but...) you must release any images that you upload to Commons under some sort of free licence (CC-BY-SA is the most common). In order for Wikipedia to use your pictures, they must be free for anyone to use, for any purpose. You still retain copyright of your pictures, and people who reuse them must give you attribution, but beyond that you will no longer have control over the distrubution of images that you upload here. If, having read this, you'd like some help getting started on Wikipedia, feel free to call me over here by replying below. I'll probably see any message you leave, but you can get my attention by adding the code  anywhere on this page. Regards, Yunshui 雲 水 15:21, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

thank you Yunshui for your explanation! after this first experience, I will not use wikipedia any more and decommission my account... Wien52 (talk) 15:46, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm sorry to hear that, but it's understandable. You can just stop using this account (just be aware that if you choose to come back in the future - which you are welcome to do - you'll still need to deal with this block before resuming editing). All the best. Yunshui 雲 水 15:53, 28 August 2018 (UTC)

thank you for that information! do you think it is ok if... 1) I use a new username without any connection to wien52 2) upload a flat version of that image to Wikimedia Commons (with a little cropping as flat 360x180 degree photo looks strange) 3) add a link to that 360° panorama on wien52.at as there is no panorama viewer on wikipedia up to now? Wien52 (talk) 18:34, 28 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok, you'll need to tread carefully here... it's kind of complicated.
 * First up, as far as the English Wikipedia is concerned, you - they guy at the keyboard - are blocked. You can't create a new account on this site until that block is dealt with, and doing so is just going to land you in hot water. Wikimedia Commons is a different site, so you are not blocked there. Your Wien52 username and password will be the same on that site, and you can use them to log in and upload images. It might still be advisable to get this block lifted, though.
 * When you upload an image to Commons, you'll need to state the image source - that's the best place to add a link to the panorama (although Wikipedia can support horizontal panoramas using the template), rather than to the article.
 * My advice, though, would be to rename this  account and thus get the block removed so that you can edit freely across Wikipedia (which would allow you to actually add the images you upload into articles). Getting the block removed should be pretty straightforward - all you need to do is pick a new username (there's some guidance here on what is and isn't suitable) and agree not to add links to your website to Wikipedia articles (as I said above, you can and should add such links to photos that you upload to Commons, though). Dlohcierekim is one of the more considerate admins here and so I'm sure he'd have no problem with unblocking your account in those circumstances, but I'm pinging him just so he knows what's going on.
 * To request an unblock, just add the following code below this message: . Replace "Your proposed new username" with... well, with your proposed new username... and replace "Your reason here" with a short statement saying that you won't add links to your site on Wikipedia in future. I or another admin can then do the name change and remove the block. Yunshui 雲 水  08:06, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
 * sounds right. I'm not around as much, so any admin can unblock at discretion.-- Dloh cier ekim  (talk) 13:52, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
