Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Udom Gabriel Emmanuel, you may be blocked from editing.
STOP vandalizing articles by adding your name/signature in articlespace, as you have done to at least 10 articles - Arjayay (talk) 10:10, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

October 2020[edit]

Hello, Patrick. Is Tonyini also your account? It looks like it, since that account edits the same things as the Patrick 08068897507 account, in the same way (for instance, adding their signature in odd places). Please reply below. Bishonen | tålk 14:46, 8 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]

No, but I really apologize.

Wlkl MEDIA (talk) 15:07, 8 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologize for what, if it's not yours? You need to stop using several accounts right now! I have blocked Tonyini and Wlkl MEDIA. Don't create any more. And if you already have more accounts, please list them below. I hope you realize that I'm being very patient with you; normally, users with sockpuppets would have all their accounts blocked. Bishonen | tålk 15:12, 8 October 2020 (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).

Patrick 08068897507 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

My wife, son and I join Wikipedia few days ago and we spent time learning how to edit, code, add signature, reference, image and to contribute. unfortunately, while we were practicing this, we had no idea that we were editing on an already existing article, thereby wrongly editing them.(we sincerely apologise). My wife, son and I used the same device with same IP address. My username is Patrick 08068897507 (which is locked). Some of your team members have educated us on how and where to do our draft work/practice and we've read and understand why our accounts were blocked. I wish to request for this account to be unlocked to enable me work in my sandboxPatrick 08068897507 (talk) 00:32, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

All three accounts have edited the same subject area, all three accounts have done so completely inappropriately. This account is not directly blocked; wait out the autoblock and immediately cease your violations of WP:SOCK, WP:COI, and WP:PROMO. Make sure to write only about subject areas for which you have no conflict of interest. Yamla (talk) 09:48, 9 October 2020 (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.

Thank you Yamla, I've read about the sockpuppets and I understand perfectly. I didn't operate a double account myself, rather I was using a shared device with same IP address with another user (which happen to use the same password with me). The intention wasn't for me to edit an existing article but to practice (tutorials) on my box.

The accounts that are linked to my device are 1. Patrick 08068897607(my account) 2. Tonyini (my wife's account).

Draft article we've tried creating is: 1. Paul Ekpo

Its unfortunate that we've done inappropriate editing while practicing and learning on Wikipedia and we sincerely apologize and will not do such anymore.

we have a lot we wish to contribute to Wikipedia and I humbly request for one account to be released. Thanks. Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 10:15, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Did you not understand what Yamla and I said about the blocks, Patrick? Your own account, Patrick 08068897507, is not blocked. I blocked the other two, which use the same IP. That means that IP is automatically blocked ("autoblocked") for 24 hours counting from the moment I blocked. Please just wait out the 24 hours and Patrick 08068897507 will be able to edit. The autoblock should have expired by now, in fact. Bishonen | tålk 15:32, 9 October 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Noted with thanks.

Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 22:06, 9 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Good day, please how can I request for a draft article to be created for a particular topic?

Secondly, I've discovered that I'm not editing on my sandbox rather on my main userpage, how do I switch the draft article to my sandbox?

Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 00:40, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions; however, it appears you may have written a Wikipedia article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – please see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to or change an existing article about yourself, you are welcome to propose the changes by visiting the article's talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was the page I created deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss this with the deleting administrator. Thank you. Theroadislong (talk) 08:17, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Please I also need a review of this my draft if it suitable? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Paul_Ekpo

Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 10:34, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Patrick - would you like me to delete Draft:Patrick Obot so you can start again, just with your sandbox? I will reply to your note above that I did place a comment on your userpage stating the contents had moved to your sandbox. Did you not see that? Nick Moyes (talk) 11:41, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I mistakenly deleted the comment you placed on my userpage stating the contents had moved to my sandbox so pls help to put it back. Thanks

Secondly is it wrong if I write about myself in my sandbox while I'm still practicing and learning? Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 12:22, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes Delete the Color Draft: Patrick Obot it was supposed to be on a sandbox. But review Draft:Paul Ekpo for me. Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 12:27, 11 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

You have submitted Draft:Paul Ekpo. It goes to 3,000+ drafts that are submitted for review. This could take days to months. Volunteers at Teahouse are not necessarily Reviewers.Be patient. David notMD (talk) 00:48, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

David notMD, it’s an easy decline so I’d fix that in a minute. @Patrick 08068897507, please also consider, changing your username, it contains your personal phone number which constitutes you outing yourself & exposing yourself to real life danger.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox, 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. Celestina007 (talk) 16:07, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the tag on my userpage. Rather move all the content there to the sandbox. I'm supposed to be writing on the sandbox for now.

A tag has been placed on User:Patrick 08068897507 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

Enough leeway already[edit]

I have deleted your userpage.

You seem unable to understand that you DO NOT draft articles there, nor may you use it to promote non-notable topics. Whilst you may recreate it, I advise you to think carefully what you add. Something like. "I'm Patrick, and I want to help Wikipedia improve articles on African people and places. I have a love of voodoo and welding, and undertake not to write about my welding business without making a proper declaration" would be OK. Nothing more - and nothing that looks like a Wikipedia entry. See and read WP:USERPAGE, please. You have had enough leeway from us with your wife and child allegedly running accounts with the same password.

You appear likely to have a serious Conflict of Interest in the things you are trying to write about or promote on Wikipedia. Please follow the instructions at WP:COI to ensure you declare on your userpage any such connections. Many thanks, Nick Moyes (talk) 16:30, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Nick Moyes. I now understand. But I was told that I can do my edit(practice) in my sandbox as I like. Pls is sandbox different from userpage? I thought editing and practicing on userpage was the same as doing it on sandbox. Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 16:36, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, your user page is User:Patrick 08068897507 and your sandbox is User:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox. Yes, you can do test edits in your sandbox, but it should still be related to improving the encyclopedia, not trying to create a webpage for yourself or someone with whom you have a COI (see WP:NOTWEBHOST). There are plenty of other sites that you can use for that sort of thing – please do use them if that's all you intend to do here. Also, I'm concerned that 08068897507 is your mobile phone number or that of a business with which you are associated, since it matches the prefix and length of an MTN Nigeria mobile number. Can you explain this? In addition to not being a place for promotion, you might find it undesirable from a privacy perspective to publish your mobile number in relation to your work here. See WP:CHU if you want to change your username. Thanks. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 17:47, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure you saw the above when you were responding to others. Do you have an answer on the phone number issue? Also, with regard to your "sandbox", you edited User talk:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox a little while ago; that is not your sandbox. Your sandbox is actually at User:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox (note no "talk" in the prefix). The reason this matters is that the links to your sandbox in various places (like the top of every page in desktop view) point to User:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox, and if you refer to your "sandbox" when seeking help from others, they will be looking there, not at User talk:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox. FYI. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 20:38, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you AlanM1, the number attached to Patrick is my MTN number, I'm trying to change the username.if i can't, I'll get back to you. Thanks Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 15:15, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

First Warning[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed a file deletion tag from User:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox. When removing deletion tags, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Celestina007 (talk) 17:02, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you...I'll be using sandbox from now on Patrick 08068897507 (talk) 19:30, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Second Warning[edit]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with User:Patrick 08068897507/sandbox. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. You aren’t allowed to remove CSD tags from articles you created. Especially when it is blatant spam Celestina007 (talk) 17:38, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
