User talk:CTRR

Welcome!

Hello, CTRR, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you edited was Connecticut RoughRiders, which appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been undone for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of your contributions being undone, you might like to draft your revised article before submission, and then ask me or another editor to proofread it. See our help page on userspace drafts for more details. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

One rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which imply that the account belongs to a company or corporation. If you have a username like this, you should request a change of username or create a new account. (A name that identifies the user as an individual within a given organization may be OK.)

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Your contributed article, Connecticut RoughRiders

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.

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Connecticut RoughRiders. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Connecticut Oilers. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Connecticut Oilers. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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 removed 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Toddst1 (talk) 17:49, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for persistent vandalism. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may request an unblock by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Black Kite (talk) 17:59, 26 April 2017 (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).

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

Request reason:

Decline reason:

No reason given to believe the block is invalid, no new username picked. Yamla (talk) 18:43, 26 April 2017 (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.

1. The Connecticut Oilers name has been changed to the Connecticut RoughRiders and will continue to play out of the SoNo Ice House in Norwalk, CT. All historical information and history should be changed as soon as possible.

2. The NEW Connecticut Oilers EHL Premier franchise will be a BRAND NEW TEAM and will play out of Louis Astorino Arena in Hamden, CT.

Per this press release issued by the RoughRiders, the Oilers' franchise was transferred with the Oilers to Hamden. Since the page is about the franchise (which is distinct from a team, the franchise is the right to play in the league) and the release was extremely clear about the transfer, then the CT RoughRiders are the expansion franchise (even if the organizational structure is the same as last seasons' Oilers). Since the CT RoughRiders have yet to play a game, it is unlikely that such an article would pass WP:GNG. However, feel free to create an article in the draft space for other editors to review. Thank you. Yosemiter (talk) 18:13, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
