User talk:William S Lerner

September 2019
Hello. Your recent edit to List of Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

 * , William S Lerner does have an article, just not with the title formed the way this user did it. However, it does not appear from our article that he's a FRAS. William S Lerner, I can't find it on the web, either, except on your own site, https://williamslerner.com, which doesn't count as a reliable source for Wikipedia's purpose. Could you please locate a reliable secondary source where it's stated, and add the fact and the source to the article William S Lerner? Or just add it here if that's a problem — I see you're a new user — and Alex or I will assist you. (Theoretically, I ought to block you until you prove your identity, but I can't say I feel like it. I believe you.) Bishonen &#124; talk 15:20, 1 September 2019 (UTC).


 * William S Lerner, there clearly is a problem with editing your own bio, so please give a link to a secondary source here, below, and I'll take care of it. Of course you also need to e-mail info-en@wikimedia.org, as Kingboyk tells you. Just for interest, kingboyk, did you read my note above and just didn't think it worth commenting on? Bishonen &#124; talk 15:31, 1 September 2019 (UTC).
 * Sorry, I didn't until just now. I blocked in response to a listing at WP:UAA and then got distracted by an audible ping on another site. I'll message you on your talk page. --kingboyk (talk) 15:35, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello all, My sincere appologies to all. I am so proud of being a fellow, and just wanted my name on the list.

Clearly I have no idea about what I am doing!!! That is why I asked editors for help. It is mean, and what I did was ask for help! Why do you think I am a self-promoting horrible person? I am trying make your wonderful work, accurateWilliam S Lerner (talk) 13:37, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Please feel free to email me, and view my website and Linkedin profile which is constantly updated.

I also emailed the address you told me to to prove my identity.


 * Thanks very much, William. I'll add the source and the fact to your bio article, and then list you at List of Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts. I've asked Kingboyk to unblock you.

 * That's all taken care of now. Welcome to Wikipedia! --kingboyk (talk) 16:35, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Thank you so much for your help, dedication to Wikipedia, and putting up with a Wiki moron! I am good at other things... Sincerely, William William S Lerner (talk) 20:20, 1 September 2019 (UTC)

Hello all again. I have not a clue as to how Wikipedia works. I have never posted anything on my profile, and am very proud of all of my volunteer work. I was showing a professor my page and saw an orange box. I wanted to update all the wonderful Wikipedia editors, with my latest roles and responsibilities. I do not get paid for any role I have. I am elected to all of them.

It is not self-promotion, which is what I am accused of, it is to show the editors the accurate facts. I wanted help in making some stale information accurate.

I request my page be restored. I was falsely accused by Bishonen by being a self promoter. I never tried to edit my page, and specifically asked for editors help. I was trying to make the stale information about me accurate. Isn't that what everyone relies on?? I am being convicted of a crime I did not commit, and you have all the documentation. Every interaction starts with "I am not editing my own page, I need Wikipedia editors help" Please unblock me, and restore my page.

I was not engaging in "Too much self-promotion" I was asking editors for help in making my page accurate, not stale. Only new responsibilities were being added. All I was doing was asking editors for their help in making stale information current. I am being falsely accused of exactly the OPPOSITE of what I was asking for help doing. It is a lie that I was editing my page and self promoting. I did nothing of the sort, I asked editors for help. You are all being so mean and unfair.

There is currently a discussion at Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. --ミラP 19:31, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

I am following the discussions, and I never made a penny from my inventions, which are now available to the public for free. I was offering the world a way to mitigate burn injuries. Could you please restore my page?

 * Note. I assumed a lot of good faith of this editor initially, and reached out to them. But I've become concerned about the promotion. Please see also this ANI thread. If the reviewing admin decides to unblock, I'm on board with that; no need to consult me first. Bishonen &#124; talk 13:04, 3 October 2019 (UTC).

Why is Yamla blocking me? Why are you all so mean? You accuse me falselyWilliam S Lerner (talk) 13:25, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

Bishonen, I am NOT an editor!!! I always started every interaction with; "Editors please help, and I have never edited my page" Why is everyone being so mean, when I specifically said I would not edit my page and asked for help? I am being falsely accused of a crime, when I clearly stated I was not editing my page, and needed help!

I am a fellow of the Royal Society. I wanted to be on the list. Why not?? Wouldn't you? It is a great accomplishment and what do I gain?? It is not a paid positionWilliam S Lerner (talk) 13:28, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

STOP. You are not autoblocked. You are directly blocked. One open unblock request at a time. ONE. ONE. ONE. And none of them should be "unblock-auto". If you continue to abuse your talk page, you will lose access to it. And for the record, I haven't blocked you. So the answer to "Why is Yamla blocking me?" is, I have not blocked you. --Yamla (talk) 13:30, 3 October 2019 (UTC)

I have revoked your talk page access. Doing this and this and this and this shows you either lack sufficient competence or are outright trolling us. Given your misleading unblock request above, I suspect the latter. Either way, we've wasted enough time here. This leaves you with WP:UTRS if you wish to contest your block. --Yamla (talk) 13:39, 3 October 2019 (UTC)
