Important Notice

edit
This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

Please carefully read this information:

A community discussion has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The specific details of these sanctions are described here.

Broadly, general sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

COI username notice

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Drug-treatment-options-COVID-19", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are permitted to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, service, or website, regardless of your username. Please also read our paid editing policy and our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please request a change of username, by completing the form at Special:GlobalRenameRequest, choosing a username that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. AngusWOOF (barksniff) 21:02, 27 March 2020 (UTC)Reply

This is not the name of a company, group, organization, product, service, or website. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Drug-treatment-options-COVID-19 06:52, 28 March 2020 (UTC)

I think the problem with your username is that it may imply that it is being used for spam. I do not want you to be blocked, but having your username similar to other usernames that have been or could be used for spam (such as Facebook Tech Support or Amazon Phone Number) could result in you losing your editing privileges.

I see, in that case, it would be better to delete it and use a more stealthy name if I had a COI, then make some non-conspicuous contributions to enhance my status and then to start editing commercially. Seriously, that is common practice nowadays. For example, Microsoft is the benefactor of all mankind on Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Drug-treatment-options-COVID-19

edit
 

A tag has been placed on User:Drug-treatment-options-COVID-19 requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

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.

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).

Request reason:

I don't represent any organisation. My user name is an English translation of the title of this page: https://swab.nl/nl/article/nieuws/494/voorlopige-behandelopties-covid-19-infecties-met-sars-cov-2 That's all. It is very phoney to suggest that I represent a business group or that I have a COI. Microsoft and paid government workers are very active on Wikipedia. I hvae no such COI. The users that pretend to administrate my username and article don't read anything and make shallow and baseless accusations. Possibly to make up for their own COI's. I would like to know which Covid-19 editors are involved in blocking me and then know their regular source of income. I believe many professional editors on Wikipedia that use their reputation to make commercial changes or to hide those that counter their client's business interests.Drug-treatment-options-COVID-19 (talk) 11:57, 16 April 2020 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

WP:GAB explains how to write an acceptable unblock request. Yamla (talk) 12:03, 16 April 2020 (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.
