US.Agriculture.Crop.Protection (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

Hello, this account was created to offer solutions to farmers and more information on how they can protect their field crops. After searching myself, there were not very many fungicide definitions on Wikipedia other then just a general reference. Since there are a few options for fungal protection, I created four accounts to make it easier for you to review. Maybe that made it more complicated. Is there any way that we can proceed forward and have this page approved, as well as the other accounts and pages associated with this one? They include: Specialty.Ag.Chem.Solutions, Corn.Ag.Chem.Solutions, Ag.Chem.Solutions, and US.Agriculture.Crop.Protection accounts and the following four pages: Xemium, Headline AMP, Priaxor and Merivon fungicide pages - all of which have been drafted for your review and approval. Please let me know if you need any additional information. Thank you!

Decline reason:

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.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Note to reviewing admin: There are five related accounts - please see this list. —DoRD (talk) 22:40, 13 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

Your reason here: I'm interested in creating this education fungicide page and though I created the account with a longer username I'm actually just a person trying to help educate others. Originally I created the username to help keep it non-personal, however since the account has been blocked I'd like to request access to create this with a new username. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks, Marc.

Decline reason:

No response to the concerns noted below (✉→BWilkins←✎) 13:35, 16 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, we do. Here are a few key questions:

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 15:00, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you. Yes, I understand. In the time since I submitted the page to now, there have been multiple changes to the page - as well as additions of a toxicity section and more sources. As I was unable to work on revising the page (due to the account being blocked by Josh Gordon) I was unable to make the changes that were requested of me. The first time round, I didn't have enough sources. Also, please note, the page does not include any promotional statements such as, "by using a fungicide you will increase yields," mainly there are statements about what a fungicide does and how it works (modes of action). The purpose of this page is educational and informational - not promotional. The objective is to help education of farm solutions, so more people understand that with a growing world population some of these new technologies are important for farmers to stay operational. I myself grew up on a farm in Wisconsin and have knowledge on the benefits of this application technology. I hope that answers your questions, Daniel. Please let me know if you need anything else to allow me to change the username to Marc1234 and revise the page. Thank you, Marc.

As Wikipedia is not a how-to guide, I'm confused about how the majority of that "article" meets encyclopedic requirements? Specifying exactly what it's designed to deal with on a per-crop basis...no thanks. Things like that have turned it into marketing - well, that plus the desire to use the "®" symbol a half-dozen times. Once you get into doing that to brand names, it's gone too far. I'd swear you worked for the company or something, and tried to use this username to give more credence to your entries (✉→BWilkins←✎) 11:09, 10 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
