Welcome!

Hello, Jordanalan, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for helping us build a great free encyclopedia. We have five basic principles, but other than that, we advise that you be bold and edit. If you ever have any questions or need help, feel free to leave a message at the help desk, and other Wikipedia editors will be happy to assist you.

Thanks again and congratulations on becoming a Wikipedian!

P.S. New discussion threads for you will appear at the bottom of this page.

Terminal Bliss[edit]

This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Terminal Bliss, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://blissinema.com/jordan-alan/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

Conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Jordanalan. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Jordan Alan, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--Cavarrone (talk) 05:58, 26 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

One account, please[edit]

If you are the same person as user Jordanalan00 (talk · contribs), please choose one account and stick to it, to avoid suspicion of "sockpuppetry". JohnCD (talk) 00:06, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Jordanalan, does not meet our username policy - impersonating a real person.

Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 01:54, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Advice[edit]

The reason this account is blocked is that we do not allow accounts in the name of a real person to be used by someone else. You are welcome to set up a new account for yourself. Your username can be related to your real name or not, as you choose - see WP:REALNAME for a discussion of the issues - but it should not be the name of another real person, or the name of any group or company. Also, it must be used only by you, and you are personally responsible for all edits made from it: if any colleagues wish to edit, they must set up their own accounts. If you register a new account, please make a note below here of its name.

I must, however, explain that Wikipedia is not the "notice-board" sort of site like Myspace or Facebook for people to write about themselves and their own affairs. As an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is not to be used for advertising or promotion of any kind. One of its fundamental principles is neutral point of view, and so people are strongly discouraged from editing on any subject where they have a WP:Conflict of interest. Please read that policy carefully, and also WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest. For someone associated with a film to make an edit like this one replacing sourced criticism with unsourced fulsome praise is from our point of view extremely improper.

Your article Etrain was speedily deleted because it contained promotional stuff like "expected to be a huge box office hit.... plenty of twists and turns... aims to keep you on the edge of your seat.... A gritty and smart action adventure... " That is not an encyclopedia article, that is an advertisement, and anything like that is deleted from Wikipedia at sight. An encyclopedia article should have no opinions, just plain facts, neutrally stated and verified by reliable sources

Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles; for films, the standard is explained at WP:Notability (films), and it not clear to me that all of Mr Alan's films qualify. In order to get more eyes on this situation, I have made an entry at the Conflict of interest noticeboard - see WP:COIN#Jordan Alan and his films, which I hope will bring other editors to look at these articles. One of the important differences between Wikipedia and sites like Myspace is that nobody owns a Wikipedia article, not its first author and least of all its subject or anyone associated with its subject. If Mr Alan wants a string of articles about himself and his films which he can control, Wikipedia is not the place to come. For changes to existing articles, you should suggest them on the article talk pages; for new articles, you should suggest them via WP:Articles for creation by using the WP:Article wizard, rather than post them directly. Read WP:Your first article and WP:Notability (films) before writing any more.

I am sorry to drop all this on you: I cannot blame you for not understanding what Wikipedia is and what it is not because, being keen for everyone to come and edit, we do not do as much as (in my view) we should to explain things at account creation time.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Jordanalan (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

filmbuff1989 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. JohnCD (talk) 09:18, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. (✉→BWilkins←✎) 08:53, 2 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
