User talk:SevenAveChamps

As User:NavarroCollege, you created this account shortly after a block I made on that account in January for violating our username policy was lifted by DangerousPanda, on the condition that you change its name. You chose to comply with that request by starting this account with the username you had proposed rather than going through the process of changing the existing account's name. That's OK, but you really should have made clear at the time via the userpage or talk page that you were no longer using that account. You also said that you understood our conflict of interest policy as well.

These things come up because yesterday you made your only two edits with this account, to ... Navarro College, and that eponymous account was also used to make one edit. While there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with those edits on the face of them, they require that we revisit the issues around the block. I have restored the block to the NavarroCollege account. I do not know whether you used it yourself, or whether you let someone else use it. While it is moot now because I reblocked the account, both actions violate policies that strongly encourage, under most circumstances, that all users use only one account, and that each account have only one user. Please keep that in mind for future editing.

Also, I must ask, as you were not when you were unblocked, do you have any formal connection (i.e., employment or close family) to Navarro or any of its officials? You can read the simpler version of the COI policy again and decide if this is a subject you really should be editing. You can let me know publicly by leaving a note on my talk page, or leaving it here and prefacing it with the {{replyto}} template with my username after the pipe so that I'll be notified. Or if you would prefer to keep it private, send me an email via the links from my user page—either the pinkish box at the upper right or the text under "Tools" at left. Thank you.

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

An employee in the department accidentally used the wrong username instead of the approved "UAEB" username. UAEB was already created and we would like to continue using that name. We regret this oversight and ask that Uaeb username be unblocked. We are simply monitoring untrue statements made by muck-racking individuals with limited information while maintaining journalistic neutrality and unbiased integrity. Because the organization is an academic institution, we are obligated to keep such articles available to the public. We also need access to this page to add up-to-date information about the institution.

Decline reason:

As of this decline, the account was not actually blocked. However, with their admission below that this is a shared account intended to continue WP:COI and WP:PROMO editing, I will unfortunately be blocking it right away. As such, this unblock request would be moot as the reasoning behind the unblock would be different the panda ₯’ 20:17, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You're not currently blocked under this account ... why are you requesting unblock? The administrator was simply letting you know that you failed to follow the process, that you cannot own the article and remind you that seeing as you have conflict of interest that you should not be editing the article directly the panda ₯’ 15:40, 17 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Also, "we"? Is this a group account? Origamite^ⓣⓒ 15:53, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, this is a group account. Will this pose a problem? Uaeb (talk) 13:34, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it will. Please read WP:NOSHARE, and consider making accounts for all the people behind it. Origamite^ⓣⓒ 15:18, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

October 2014[edit]

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. the panda ₯’ 20:18, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Appealing a block[edit]

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).

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

Request reason:

I understand the reason for being blocked due to a shared account. There will only be one Uaeb user making productive contributions. I will also change the password to keep account secure and prevent future blocks.

Decline reason:

Sorry, you have to use the 'spamun' template (on one of the white bits in the big sandy coloured box above). You have to choose a new user name, which must not be your current one, and need not be your real name - see WP:USERNAME for more details. Peridon (talk) 18:54, 27 October 2014 (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.

Blocked[edit]

I have blocked you for your disruptive editing at Navarro College. You had previously been blocked a spam username, and were told that if you were unblocked, you'd have to adhere to our policies regarding conflict of interest. By removing the Ebola controversy section without discussion or without justification, you're showing that you're editing the article with a clear conflict of interest. To appeal this block, utilize the {{unblock|your reason here}} template. only (talk) 11:55, 24 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
