Unblock request Please advise on way forward. I'm neither a paid editor nor connected to subjects. 2 accounts were only for convenience purposes in case I forgot passwords and still wanted to continue with edits without having to always request new passwords.I'm not a socket and only knew what it was when my accounts were blocked. What's the way forward? Should I create a new account? Thanks in advance

Advice: what you need to do is to write a substantial article covering the subject thoroughly, and supported by references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements .. If you can't find the necessary references,the subject is not yet ready for an article. DGG ( talk ) 15:17, 4 January 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of File:Chivayo in his office.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:Chivayo in his office.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use it — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

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. —C.Fred (talk) 21:57, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

RJ Thomas 12:55, 13 January 2018 (UTC) I noticed you also edited CNBC Africa page. This needs a lot more work to flesh out the details of their hosts and regular shows. The challenge for me is that there's no other notable sources referring to them. Most Google News sources are themselves. Do you want to collaborate? User:ramonthomas

Your draft article, Draft:Mugabe Family

Hello, Jakelewis2. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Mugabe Family".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. ―Abelmoschus Esculentus 09:06, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Zim Celebrities

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Zim Celebrities, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Thanks for message. It's not as simple as that. You said However, the whole point of Wikipedia is to write on a subject that is of interest to readers, but that's not right. We are an encyclopaedia and articles must meet our notability guidelines, not your opinion of what you think is popular. Furthermore, most of the article isn't actually about the topic, but is original research where you have selected a list of people and created what is essentially a gossip page about them, rather than about the phrase "Zim Celebrities"

We need independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that the topic meets the notability guidelines. Sources that are not acceptable include those linked to the subject organisation company, press releases, YouTube, IMDB, social media and other sites that can be self-edited, blogs, websites of unknown or non-reliable provenance, and sites that are just reporting self-made claims or interviews. Few, if any, of your sources refer to the phrase you have selected as your topic, such as when it was first used and by whom. Even if your refs are accepted as reliable sources, which some or not (my browser stopped me accessing Youth Village for security reasons) they are misused. For example, Genius Kadungure... was considered to be the most flamboyant celebrity in Zimbabwe is an anonymous opinion based on nothing; a statement like that needs to be derived from a newspaper or radio vote, not a random opinion. Pokello rose to global fame is an unsourced opinion. He is believed to be worth $288 000 000 ref doesn't exist. Many other refs are quoting a person talking about themselves, or are the writer giving personal opinions.

I think it's difficult to show why your phrase is notable in its own right, what we end up with is a Hello magazine mish-mash of celebrity gossip. the people may be notable, your phrase isn't Jimfbleak - talk to me? 08:48, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

Request for unblocking account. This account has contributed good articles to Wikipedia. The second reason is that having multiple articles on Wikipedia is not illegal. It allowed me to contribute more and was convenient. However, if you feel the use of the accounts were abusive at least explain what was done wrong so that I don't repeat the mistake. I don't know your reason for doing this but I assume you noticed similar edits which is very common on Wikipedia especially were blue links are involved. If you still decide to keep this block on it would be unfair as I have fought vandalism check the article "Somzi Mhlongo" (my anti-vandalism edit) that I saved from serious vandalism. I have contributed a lot of time to Wikipedia and have not voted illegally using multiple accountsJakelewis2 (talk) 13:04, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Clear violations of WP:SOCK. There's substantial overlap in the editing of both accounts. Yamla (talk) 13:27, 23 December 2018 (UTC)

Request reason:

I understand the reason for the unblock now. I will only use one account from now on to prevent the overlap you mentioned from happening. The overlap was not done with intent to cause any vandalism. Thus the violations to Wikipedia were done unintentionally. Please kindly unblock the account and your consideration will be greatly appreciated. Thank you Jakelewis2 (talk) 06:02, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

Decline reason:

So sorry. I cannot unblock you at this time. Could you please enlighten us as to why you were editing from more than one account? Have you any connections with the subjects about which you wrote? I see some indications of WP:UPE. Have you been paid or received some other inducement for editing Wikipedia? If so, please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. What other accounts have you used to edit or coordinated with off-Wiki? If this not your original account, you will need to appeal from your original account as sockpuppets are rarely if ever unblocked. -- Dlohcierekim (talk) 15:59, 27 December 2018 (UTC)
