Speedy deletion nomination of User:SIERRA2023[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:SIERRA2023, 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 seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 10mmsocket (talk) 10:07, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

{{unblock-spamun| Venkee 2023 | Sir, after the earlier comment from the other administrator I read and understood the reason for this block. It was a mistake on my part to ignore the instructions twice for contesting my block. I used the company name as a username which I have changed now. If you could please let me know which part of the content you find promotional, I will either edit it or remove it.

February 2023[edit]

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 {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} 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 {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} 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. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 10:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

Venkee 2023 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

It was not my intention to edit the pages, it happened unknowingly. This action will not be repeated. Please unblock.

Decline reason:

It's unclear to me if you have sufficient competence to understand written English, at least sufficiently to contribute to en.wikipedia. Certainly, you've twice ignored instructions you were given here to contest your block. If you wish to be unblocked, you need to slow down, read and understand what you've been told, and then follow the instructions you've been given. Yamla (talk) 11:46, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

So, a few things. Firstly, your unblock request wasn't correctly formatted. I fixed it so it will show up. That said, it's likely to be declined. Firstly, you would need to, as instructed above, select an appropriate user name. You cannot use the name of your company as your user name. Secondly, you did not "unknowingly" write the promotional material on your user page. That was clearly intentionally written. Promotional material is not permitted anywhere on Wikipedia, and that includes user pages. Finally, your use of the company's name as a user name and immediately writing something promotional about that company gives a strong indication that you are editing for pay or compensation, including editing as a duty of employment or internship. Paid editors are required to make certain mandatory disclosures, chiefly that they are being paid and who is paying. And even if you were to make those disclosures, you still wouldn't be permitted to write any promotional material about the company. Knowing all that, is there something besides writing advertisements you are interested in doing here if unblocked? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 11:11, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand now that it was wrong to include promotional content. I will try to contribute my share to Wikipedia moving forward instead of promotions. Please do the needful. User: Venkat (talk) 11:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

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

Venkee 2023 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

Venkee 2023 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Sir, after the earlier comment from the other administrator I read and understood the reason for this block. It was a mistake on my part to ignore the instructions twice for contesting my block. I used the company name as a username which I have changed now. If you could please let me know which part of the content you find promotional, I will either edit it or remove it.

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username with agreement to stop editing regarding "SIERRA ODC". Please select an option from Wikipedia:Changing username and file a request as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 08:59, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I did receive your email, but there was nothing in that requiring private communication. I have fixed your unblock request again, you did not close the braces. Since you're saying you still want to write about your company, I am not going to unblock you; Wikipedia is not here for "About Us" style pages. If you want to do that, you'd need to use a more appropriate venue, such as a company website or social media. If you have something other than your company you would like to contribute to here, I'd consider unblocking you for that, but you'd have to specify what that is and agree specifically not to write about your company. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 18:57, 7 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Venkee 2023 | Thank you for fixing the unblock request. As instructed by you, we will not promote our company on Wikipedia. Our company is very environmentally conscious and we are doing our part by closely monitoring the indoor air quality in our office. Our premise is also a green learning center, where students, environmentalists, and the general public can learn and appraise themselves on the impacts and ways to go green. This green initiative comes under the umbrella of our company, hence is it OK to mention our company name?

I already answered that. That answer was "no". Please keep in mind that's nothing personal; the vast majority of companies do not pass the notability criteria and so are not appropriate subjects for articles. But even for companies which are notable, any material about them must be strictly neutral facts confirmed by reliable and independent sources, and must not promote or "talk up" the organization in any way at all. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 06:16, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Venkee 2023 | I understand. Thank you for the briefing sir. Keeping that in mind will share articles about green initiatives that too from a neutral point of view like you said so that the facts can be checked by reliable and independent sources.

Anything particular in mind? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 11:46, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

For now, green buildings-related content sir. SIERRA2023 (talk) 16:11, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Venkee 2023 | Sir, will work on green buildings-related content, kindly consider my request and unblock the account.

So, for clarity. If unblocked, you would be agreeing to refrain from writing about "SIERRA ODC" anywhere on Wikipedia. Don't write an article about it, don't mention it in other articles. You would also be agreeing to file a request to change username once unblocked (the name proposed above is fine). Is that agreeable to you? Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 08:16, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes sir that is right and will also file a request to change the username. SIERRA2023 (talk) 08:54, 11 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Venkee 2023. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page SIERRA ODC Private Limited, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{edit COI}} template)—don't forget to give details of reliable sources supporting your suggestions;
disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest § How to disclose a COI);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam § External link spamming);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. Wikishovel (talk) 11:35, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

SIERRA ODC Private Limited moved to draftspace[edit]

Thanks for your contributions to SIERRA ODC Private Limited. Unfortunately, I do not think it is ready for publishing at this time because it needs more sources to establish notability, it is promotional and reads like an advertisement, you may have a possible Conflict of Interest and you were unblocked on the basis that you would NOT write about this company. I have converted your article to a draft which you can improve, undisturbed for a while.

Please see more information at Help:Unreviewed new page. When the article is ready for publication, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page OR move the page back. Wikishovel (talk) 11:36, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Reblocked[edit]

As a condition of unblock, you agreed to refrain from editing anything about Sierra ODC. As you have violated that condition, I have reinstated the block. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 12:09, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
