National varieties of English

Hello. In a recent edit to the page Screen Ireland, you changed one or more words or styles from one national variety of English to another. Because Wikipedia has readers from all over the world, our policy is to respect national varieties of English in Wikipedia articles.

For a subject exclusively related to the United Kingdom (for example, a famous British person), use British English. For something related to the United States in the same way, use American English. For something related to another English-speaking country, such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, India, or Pakistan use the variety of English used there. For an international topic, use the form of English that the original author of the article used.

In view of that, please don't change articles from one version of English to another, even if you don't normally use the version in which the article is written. Respect other people's versions of English. They, in turn, should respect yours. Other general guidelines on how Wikipedia articles are written can be found in the Manual of Style. If you have any questions about this, you can ask me on my talk page or visit the help desk. Thank you. ... discospinster _talk 20:19, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Please read Discospinster's notice above, as well as WP:MOS before you continue making 'corrections' that others have to correct. Thanks. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:D869 (talk) 20:28, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

June 2022

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia. Your edits appear to be disruptive and have been or will be reverted.

If you are engaged in an article content dispute with another editor, please discuss the matter with the editor at their talk page, or the article's talk page, and seek consensus with them. Alternatively, you can read Wikipedia's dispute resolution page, and ask for independent help at one of the relevant noticeboards.
If you are engaged in any other form of dispute that is not covered on the dispute resolution page, please seek assistance at Wikipedia's Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents.

Please ensure you are familiar with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and please do not continue to make edits that appear disruptive. Continued disruptive editing may result in loss of editing privileges. Thank you. 2601:188:180:B8E0:0:0:0:D869 (talk) 20:32, 20 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Northeasterninsurance

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Northeasterninsurance, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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.

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Northeasterninsurance (talk) 19:34, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This is simply stating what company is and what they have done in the last 9 years. We are proud of what we have accomplished but did not link anything, not even a website.

This is considered promotional on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a place for businesses to tell the world about themselves. 331dot (talk) 20:00, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

You also edited your user page, which is not article space. 331dot (talk) 20:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please let me know what is promotional about what was published? Northeasterninsurance (talk) 20:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

"Promotion" has a much broader meaning on Wikipedia than it does generally. Here, promotion is not limited to soliciting customers or selling something. Wikipedia is not a place for businesses to tell the world about themselves, what they do, and what they consider to be their own history. A Wikipedia article about a business must summarize what independent reliable sources with significant coverage have chosen on their own to say about the business, showing how it meets the special Wikipedia definition of a notable business. Not every business merits an article, even within the same field, it depends on the sources. As I said above, you edited your user page, which is not article space, but a place for the named user(such as my user page) to tell about themselves as a Wikipedia editor or user. Accounts are for individuals only, not companies- perhaps you confused creating an article with creating an account. Accounts are for individuals and are strictly single person use only. To be unblocked and rename your account, please follow the instructions below- but please read conflict of interest and paid editing(which includes mere employment) first. 331dot (talk) 20:19, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

November 2022

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. 331dot (talk) 20:01, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

{unblock-spamun|devananddaphne|Needed to make the username something that wasn't a business name} I read this username as "Devan and Daphne", suggesting that multiple people would have access to this account- only one person should have access. Others at your business will need to create their own accounts(but they should not do so until this block is removed, to avoid sock puppetry). 331dot (talk) 20:21, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Devan and Daphne are the names of the two people on the business's marketing team. Only one user named Daphne will be on this account and will be making any and all changes on this page. Northeasterninsurance (talk) 20:26, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But I can change it so it only reflects Daphne Northeasterninsurance (talk) 20:27, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

daphneb34628 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Correcting so it only names the single user on the account

Decline reason:

That username would be fine but you haven't addressed your violations of WP:COI and WP:PROMO. Yamla (talk) 21:06, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Okay let me address it. It is definitely a conflict of interest, which is why I will not be posting or publishing about this company on Wikipedia effective immediately. I believe you have already deleted my user page but if not I will delete the contents myself and not publish it elsewhere on Wikipedia. I would still like to use this account to look at other pages so if you could unblock me that would be great. Northeasterninsurance (talk) 21:16, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Blocks only prevent editing, they do not prevent merely reading Wikipedia. 331dot (talk) 22:14, 16 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
