User talk:RBLribfest

April 2020

There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:

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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page.

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

We are a non-profit organization, so we keep no money that is raised at our event. If you prefer to erase the upcoming dates of the festival to keep in line with your policies, then that is fine.

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
the block is no longer necessary because you
1. understand what you have been blocked for,
2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
3. will make useful contributions instead.

Request reason:

I understand what I did wrong in editing our organization's page. Going forward, I will be more conscientious of posting promotional material. Thank you.

Decline reason:

That's still a promotional username, representing your organization. You need to choose a username that reprents you as an individual. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 14:48, 26 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Oh I see okay. Thank you for the clarification. I appreciate your help with this.

Decline reason:

That would be an acceptable username, but you do not describe what edits you wish to make, as you won't be unblocked to continue to violate WP:COI and WP:PAID by editing about your festival or organization, at least in the short term. I would add that it is not up to your organization whether the festival has an article about it on Wikipedia; it won't be deleted just because you ask it to be, but only if it is not in keeping with Wikipedia policies, such as those of notability. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:08, 27 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello. I work with Rotary Burlington Lakeshore and just wanted to edit our festival page for Canada's Largest Ribfest- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada's_Largest_Ribfest to remove the listed festival dates. Can I please have access to do so?

Decline reason:

per WP:IDHT: 331dot said you wouldn't be able to edit the article and you're saying you want to edit the article. I'm declining and revoking talk page access per multiple declined unblock requests. only (talk) 11:00, 28 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
