  Hello, I'm C.Fred. I wanted to let you know that one or more external links you added to Windsor Castle have been removed because they seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 21:57, 25 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

The page i published has always been used to promote historical content. I only wish to serve the community and update the vast knowledge accrued through the years. Like many here i only an trying to learn and i am sorry if my efforts were seen as spam or excessive advertising. However I will accept the communities verdict. Chemer2018 (talk) 15:07, 26 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

The community's verdict is that your spam is inappropriate. Yamla (talk) 15:25, 26 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

please consider lifting the ban as I have learned my lesson. I really should have read how edit first and best practice. I wanted to contribute, but realise I should have used the sandbox and dipped my toes into the water rather than dive in head first. Please reconsider the ban.Chemer2018 (talk) 20:41, 27 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Please could you remove me from your database in accordance with United Kingdom law you must do this as I have a right to be forgotten. Facebook, Twitter and other big names are aware of this. You may be a powerful entity on the Internet, but even google have been sued in the past over this. I am not talking about thousands either. Talk to your solicitors and they will explain the law in the uk. Or just simply look it up. Do not let this be escalated to the European Courts.

The thing is I may not be a millionaire, but I do not have to be as the government have set this in law here. As a British Citizen if I ask to be removed you must grant that request. I sugggest you update your policy as well as yahoo, microsoft, google, facebook have all asked if you want your name removed. The days big organisations could hold people to ransom over data are long gone. Chemer2018 (talk) 18:11, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I have made a mistake and must abide by your rules and your decison and I accept that. Now you must accept the rules of this country and remove my name off your database. If you feel I should not look at your site fair enough, as there are many players on the internet and many sources of information. Have you heard of FAKE NEWS a certain person hates that and yet there is no way to check this site is there. I feel unjustly punished over a silly few pages that I have appologised for. Chemer2018 (talk) 18:16, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I would suggest you contact WP:VRT and get an OTRS ticket opened regarding removal from the database. I do not even want to venture into that matter, since guidance has not been pushed down to admins regarding that. They may be able to assist with a change of username that will conceal your identity; edits still need to be attributed to a user due to copyright laws.
However, since you have explicitly threatened that this matter could be escalated to the courts, you may not edit Wikipedia at this time. We have a very stringent policy against legal threats, and your comment above runs afoul of that. Until the threat is rescinded, your account may not be unblocked. —C.Fred (talk) 18:17, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

The threat is UK law and is set in stone and is now policy for many companies operating in the uk. This is not a direct threat from me, but is now law in this country.

What is GDPR exactly? The GDPR is Europe's new framework for data protection laws – it replaces the previous 1995 data protection directive, which current UK law is based upon.

The EU's GDPR website says the legislation is designed to "harmonise" data privacy laws across Europe as well as give greater protection and rights to individuals. Within the GDPR there are large changes for the public as well as businesses and bodies that handle personal information, which we'll explain in more detail later. Chemer2018 (talk) 19:20, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I am surprised there is not a page on this site about it. Even Facebook is taking this very seriously as organisations have been misusing data. Chemer2018 (talk) 19:22, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

As stated, you may be permitted a courtesy vanishing (see WP:VANISH) to anonymize your account, but you have to get unblocked first, and that will not be done until you withdraw the legal threat. 331dot (talk) 20:15, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
The general rule of thumb is that nobody is required to give personal information. Certain classes of individuals—namely children—have always been strongly discouraged or forbidden from volunteering personal information, but other than that, the assumption is any self-disclosure is consensual and voluntary. (There have long been strict policies (WP:OUTING) about disclosing another user's personal information.) That may be why it's not a front-burner issue. —C.Fred (talk) 21:18, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

edit

I withdraw the legal threat and accept you will unban me from editing. I will from now on abide by the rules of the site and will not promote urls unless relevant.

Any future edits will be in keeping with community guidelines.

I wish to be unblocked and as stated will not vandalise, spam, promote or advertisse on pages again unless they are my own.

Please accept my sincere appologies.

Chemer2018 (talk) 21:01, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Please clarify whether you want unblocked only to request the right to vanish or whether you intend to edit Wikipedia further. —C.Fred (talk) 21:12, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Then we're back to 331dot's second chance above. Can you give us a specific example of a good edit you would make if you were unblocked? —C.Fred (talk) 21:24, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I wish to be unblocked only and thank you for your time. Chemer2018 (talk) 21:25, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Sorry, but you have not provided a reason to unblock your account. —C.Fred (talk) 21:28, 28 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

Reason to unblock

edit

I provided many reasons as to why I want my account unblocked. Firstly I did not set out to deliberately sabotage wiki. I made a mistake, but did not realise the consequences. I accept a short term block, but this is set to indefinite.

Chemer2018 (talk) 01:36, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
Part of any unblock request is telling administrators what you intend to do once you are unblocked. You have yet to do this. Simply saying you want to be unblocked is not sufficient, we need to know that unblocking you will be a benefit to the project in some way. Regarding block length, "indefinite" does not mean "forever"; it means "until we can be assured you will not be disruptive". Exactly how long that is is up to you. If you haven't already, please review the Guide to Appealing Blocks before making another unblock request. 331dot (talk) 08:26, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

I intend to abide by the rules and my contributions will be factual and none biassed. I have own what I did and I am sorry for the 4 links I did post.

As for what I intend to do I will not disrupt any pages again, but may in the future if I see a useful link make a minor edit on the appropriate section. This will appropriate to the subject matter of the page.

I hope this clarifies the situation.

Chemer2018 (talk) 11:41, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
It doesn't. You are describing essentially what you did to get yourself blocked. This indicates that you don't understand what you did wrong, which means it is more beneficial to the project to keep you blocked. Unless you are able to state what you did wrong and tell specifically what articles or topic areas you intend to edit if unblocked, you won't be unblocked and you may have the ability to edit this page removed. 331dot (talk) 12:51, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply

blocking

edit

I intend to research tudor history and history in the 1400s on wiki. What I did in the first place was to refer those pages to my wife's web site. She has an amazing array of Historical knowledge and I thought I would be helping her and the community. Yet I do realise I went about it the wrong way.

I think this has been blown way out of proportion.

If you can't unblock me then under UK law remove me from your database as the law here has been amended to include the right to be forgotten.

This has nothing to do with other laws on Freedom Of Speech and is something that needs to be updated in your policy.

Chemer2018 (talk) 13:18, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
You were already told above what to do/who to contact regarding database removal and why that cannot be done, although you may be able to WP:VANISH. You were given the opportunity to request an unblock purely to request a courtesy vanish but essentially turned it down. We've also finally gotten at the real reason you are here, to promote your wife's website. Since you seem unable or unwilling to make a proper unblock request, and you allude to potential legal action despite your earlier retraction, it seems further discussion here is a waste of time. I am now removing talk page access. You should still be able to request a courtesy vanish as you were told above. If you wish to appeal again, you will need to use WP:UTRS. 331dot (talk) 15:21, 29 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
