Username concern

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Cmfb.secretariat", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it represents a company or role, and not you as an individual. Wikipedia does not allow company or role accounts; such accounts are routinely blocked. Please go to WP:CHU/Simple to request a change of your username. You may retain an association with your organization, such as "John Smith at cmfb" or something similar, as long as it is clear the account belongs only to you as an individual, and not your role or your employer. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. ~Amatulić (talk) 00:29, 21 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia's content policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is against Wikipedia's policy: an account is for an individual, not a group. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a free advertising service.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than 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 this 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 this 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 by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:42, 23 January 2016 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

please delete the account or change it to gabor.vincze. The CMFB (Committee for Monetary, Financial and Balance of Payments Statistics) is a European Committee established by a decision of the European Council (see http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/PDF/?uri=CELEX:32006D0856&from=EN). It advises Eurostat, the European Commission's statistical service, and the European Central Bank. The secretariat is shared between ECB and Eurostat - I am indeed the ECB secretary. While I agree the first page might not have followed Wikipedia's guidelines, I would be happy to submit a new draft, perhaps quoiting the decision to a larger extent. I think it would be unreasonable not to have information about the CMFB, while there pages for ECB and Eurostat, the CMFB is a bridge between the two.

Decline reason:

I'm going to decline this because of the many unresolved issues connected with this account, ranging from the copyright violations (which you just announced you would repeat) to the paid editing without disclosure in violation of the Terms of Use. Huon (talk) 14:05, 13 February 2016 (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.

  • It is not possible to delete an account. You wrote that you have requested a personal one from the same IP address. Can you explain what account have you "requested"? Do you use another account? If you so, why do you need this one to be unblocked? Vanjagenije (talk) 19:47, 11 February 2016 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Align to username policy

Decline reason:

Procedural decline: no response in discussion below. Max Semenik (talk) 00:21, 12 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Following the change in the username so that it would be in-line with the policy, may I ask you to release the page? I am note sure what kind of confidentiality violations you are talking about, this is sort-of a serious accusation. I have explained what the CMFB acronym stands for in the context where it is indeed used in other articles (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demetra%2B). I have quoted a neutral source, a Decision of the Council of the EU. There is no copyright issue here.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmfb.secretariat (talkcontribs) 14:04, 6 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

  • The page you created was directly copy-pasted from another web site [1], which is copyright violation. Wikipedia does not allow that (see: WP:COPYPASTE). By the way, do you intend to answer the question I posted above, two months ago? Vanjagenije (talk) 20:52, 6 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
    • Align to username policy - I first asked to have this account deleted and create another account, but it was not possible for two reasons: 1) it seems not to be possible to delete accounts; 2) You have blocked my IP address. So the way out could be changing this account so that is becomes in-line with your policies. I hope that explains. Concerning 'copyright violations', what Wikipedia allows or not is one thing (but I am happy to respect that), copyright violation is something entirely different. You do not allow the text to resemble that of another website - fine, I can redraft it, including references to neutral sources (in this case a Council decision, but as indicated above, you even consider newspaper articles neutral... well, I wonder a bit.) Further to your background and alleged "copyright issues", the website you have been referring to (ONS) uses actually a text that I have drafted myself long ago, it happens to be that we have worked together with ONS colleagues in this Committee, , that is where the connection comes from. I really do not see an issue here.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Cmfb.secretariat (talkcontribs) 07:46, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply
      • Well, there are lot of issues here. I am willing to unblock you, but we have to discuss some things first, so that I am sure that you understand basic Wikipedia policies. First of all, stop posting new unblock requests while the one above is still pending (just write your posts here without the {{unblock}} tag). And, please also sign your posts (see here how to sign: WP:SIGNATURES). Now, for more important issues. You want to write an article about the CMFB, but you also say that you have worked in the CMFB committee. This means that you have a serious conflict of interest (COI) regarding the CMFB as a subject. Wikipedia does not allow direct COI editing (see: WP:COI). If you have COI, you can only propose an article for creation and propose changes to the article, but should not edit directly. That is because WP:NEUTRALITY is one of the main pillars of Wikipedia. Also, you say that copying text from another web site is not copyright violation because you "drafted" that text. Unfortunately, that is not how copyright works. You are not allowed to copy-paste copyrighted material from other sources even if you are the author. If you published some text on some other web site without free license, that text is automatically fully copyrighted. On the other hand, Wikipedia accepts only material that is either in the public domain or is published under a free license. Since you published text on other web site, it is automatically fully copyrighted, so you cannot copy-paste it to Wikipedia. The fact that you are the author is of no importance. The same text cannot be both fully copyrighted (on other web site) and free (on Wikipedia) in the same time. In order to copy-paste your own text from other web site, you have to "donate" it to Wikipedia first (see: WP:DCM, it's quite complicated). Now, I have to know that you fully understand this and are willing to respect those policies. Vanjagenije (talk) 14:05, 7 April 2016 (UTC)Reply

Hi sorry for the delay. Does it make sense to continue or should i file a new unblock reuqest?

Request reason:

So here is the new request as i see the above one was closed. Thanks for the summary. I am content with your policies, though not so much with the way you apply them. You are disrespectful, judgemental and do not confine yourself to the facts. (Without going into details now, the style of the above conversation is a bit below standards. Also, i do not have a "serious" conflict of interest, indeed, but a conflict of interest. I am not paid for working in the CMFB at the first place. i have not committed any copyright violation, but glad to do things your way) So again, i am ok with your policies so long as you stick to them and do not play the upper court here. Grateful if you could unblock my account, i have explained already how the article would them be reworked - using "neutral" sources. Also, please amend the name of the account to gabor.vincze. Should this go through, i am glad to contribute to wikipedia, otherwise dump this whole account

Accept reason:

I unblocked you conditionally, the condition is to change your username as soon as possible. I can't change it for you, you have to go to Wikipedia:Changing username and make a request. I'm glad you are willing to contribute constructively, just be sure to familiarize yourself with our WP:COI and WP:COPYRIGHT policies. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:46, 29 May 2016 (UTC)Reply

Thank you & done

Request reason:

Hi, good evening. May I ask any of you to undo my blocking on wiktionary, where I cannot even edit my talk page? It was put in place by SemperBlotto, most likely for the same misunderstanding which we have discussed above. Frankly I think that kind of total freeze on wiktionary was way overdone, i did not insult anyone - actually not a single exchange took place...

Decline reason:

Procedural decline. You'll have to appeal on Wiktionary as we have no administrative connection. (Other than we are both Wikimedia projects, of course. The running of all the projects is done locally.) A block here doesn't affect any other project, and we can't undo blocks elsewhere. Your block on Wiktionary was done there.

I'm contacting the blocking admin there to see if they will relax the talk page or email restriction so you can appeal there. Peridon (talk) 09:30, 10 June 2016 (UTC)Reply

  Thank you for your contributions. It seems that you may have added public domain content to one or more Wikipedia articles, such as Committee on monetary, financial and balance of payments statistics. You are welcome to import appropriate public domain content to articles, but in order to meet the Wikipedia guideline on plagiarism, such content must be fully attributed. This requires not only acknowledging the source, but acknowledging that the source is copied. There are several methods to do this described at Wikipedia:Plagiarism#Public-domain sources, including the usage of an attribution template. Please make sure that any public domain content you have already imported is fully attributed. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 19:00, 11 June 2016 (UTC)Reply
