July 2022[edit]

Hello, I'm Fieryninja. I noticed that you made an edit concerning content related to a living (or recently deceased) person on Michael Adamthwaite, but you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now. Wikipedia has a very strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate and clear. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Fieryninja (talk) 16:24, 19 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi, Thank you for letting me know that I have done an act that violating a Wikipedia policy "advertising or promotion". Although I didn't know some of the policies regarding this, in the link you provided it has mentioned that "Do not make a new article for your own product or web site" and I believed that it is the point where I did the mistake. Sorry for that. I created those articles because I felt that the subjects are enough important to have separate pages as they had some amount of coverage in the media and I saw articles with similar content created and approved in the Wikipedia.
Also I want to mention that, the three articles created by me was suddenly nominated for deletion on 25 Sep, within 10 mins by a new editor who had created his account just only for tagging these 3 pages (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Michalis_Andreou) by saying that I am an editor of paid. As per Wikipedia policies, editors who get paid by someone should declare it on their account but I couldn't do it because I am one who took technical assistant (on article writing style and Wikipedia page codes) from a person by making him a payment (did not know how to deal with that situation). However, after this incident I realized that "Wikipedia is not a space for personal promotion or the promotion of products and services" but a place where information is built with support of other editors through dialog, advices and consent. Therefore, as an editor I would like to ask a chance for my mistake and I hope to edit the Wikipedia future as an independent user with support of others. Thank You Billst96 (talk) 16:34, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 11:39, 25 December 2022 (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.

Are you saying that you paid someone to assist you with editing? If they made edits for you, they must declare that per WP:PAID. I'm curious as to why you would pay someone for assistance when you could have asked us directly for free. 331dot (talk) 11:08, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the reply. The wiki guidelines and pages explaining policies sometimes seemed too complicated so I guess I haven't gone through them thoroughly. The place "Teahouse", I was unaware about that but it is seemed to be a desk where I can ask for a help. So I would like to get support from there if I can.Billst96 (talk) 14:59, 11 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
