Gadelhak

Hello, I'm Deb. I wanted to let you know that one or more of your recent contributions have been undone because they appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.
Hello, Gadelhak. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

• avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
• instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
• when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
• avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
• exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you.Deb (talk) 21:38, 28 May 2016 (UTC)

Blocked

Hi, Gadelhak. You have never replied to warnings and advice about self-promotion which have been offered on this page for years. (Perhaps you were not aware of having such a page?) I have blocked you indefinitely from editing the page Mohamed Gad-el-Hak for obvious self-promotion. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.

Nomination of Mohamed Gad-el-Hak for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Mohamed Gad-el-Hak is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mohamed Gad-el-Hak until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. MrAureliusR_Talk! 03:32, 18 September 2020 (UTC)

• Not sure who you're speaking to — me, or MrAureliusR, who you posted under? If you wish to appeal my ban from editing the article to an uninvolved admin, please use the template {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. It will call another admin to this page. Bishonen | tålk 14:46, 18 September 2020 (UTC).

From Mohamed Gad-el-Hak: Respectfully, I would like to appeal your decision and recent actions. I will try to be brief and use short bullets.

1. Early on the creation of this page, I supplied pictures of fluid flows that I took myself and have the copyright to. Each of those photos were published in peer-reviewed journals, but at that time, I didn’t have adequate references. WP removed the pictures, and I didn’t contest.

2. I now have adequate references in peer-reviewed journals, but you removed the 14-point bullets, and with those the (secondary-sources) references.

3. All the references are secondary sources, and are not self-congratulatory.

4. I am not advocating for a product or a company, for profit or not-for-profit. This page simply describes the scholarly contributions of a university faculty. Almost everything mentioned there is supported by references to peer-reviewed journals. A notable exception, is the birth date and place, but if you want to see a birth certificate, I am glad to supply that, privately of course.

5. I have seen many similar pages written by my peers, and none of those has the dreaded COI notices you bestow upon my page.

I urge you to remove all the COI and deletion notices, restore the 14-point bullets and references that you already removed, and ask me for any proof you wish. My page does not advocate a product or a company, but all the statements there are supported by secondary sources.

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).
