Speedy deletion nomination of User:StaffTJWChiHigh/sandbox

edit
 

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:StaffTJWChiHigh/sandbox, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 10:25, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

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.

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 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 by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Yunshui  10:29, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
 
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:

Hello, I made a genuine mistake and have been talking with Yunshui about it. I had copied an area from our school website to see what it would look like. Please delete the text as you wish. thank you and apologies

Decline reason:

If you wish to be unblocked, you'll need to follow the instructions above. Yamla (talk) 12:02, 26 June 2018 (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.

I'm hoping Yunshui will unblock - I'm totally out of my league!

I am not prepared to lift the block at this time, as it is not evident from your emails that you have understood why your edits were problematic, nor have you proposed a new username or given any assurances that you will not continue to write about your school. Yunshui  12:13, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Hi Yunshui,

Thank you for taking the time to look into this for me – as a school, we really appreciate your support.

I’m sorry that I haven’t provided a new username yet, I have been with a group of students. I can’t always reply as quickly as I would like to as I am with them for a function – apologies.

As I said, I am new to this so it is a steep learning curve.

I have understood why you have blocked me, as explained it was a mistake on my behalf as I was testing whether anything would come up on the page. I certainly have no reason to cause a problem! I have read what was posted about advertising and whilst my title is about publicity, my aim is for Chichester High School to have a page of its own. We merged is September 2016 (nearly two years) and I would like the school to be recognised on Wikipedia.

I can give you my assurance that all I want to do is somehow……create a page like the CHSB and CHSG ones.

I thought I might be able to get some help.

If you are not going to unblock me, I understand and we will just have to wait for someone else to create a page.

Thank you for your time.


  • Your proposed username is still not acceptable. It cannot be that of a group or organization("staff" is a group) per the username policy. Your username must indicate that you are an individual user. You don't have to use your real name, just something unique to you that indicates you are an individual. If you wish to indicate your school in your username, a name in the format of "YourName of TJWCHS" would be acceptable. Please edit your existing unblock request to make a different choice of username. 331dot (talk) 13:05, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
  • You will also need to indicate that you have reviewed the conflict of interest policy. As you indicate you are staff of the school, you are required by Wikipedia's Terms of Use to comply with the paid editing policy. Please address these points as well. Thank you 331dot (talk) 13:06, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for your help, yes I totally understand the conflict of interest terms and understand the paid editing policy. I would just like to have some factual information about the school of Wikipedia ,like the CHSB/CHSG pages are. Headteacher name, established, location, our colours, our uniform etc so Chichester High School features like what Bishop Luffa, Chichester Free School and Ormiston Six Villages Academy and the other schools in the Chichester/West Sussex area.

You will need to proceed as I state above, and agree to make edit requests on the article talk page. 331dot (talk) 14:07, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
I've fixed your request, only one is needed at a time. 331dot (talk) 14:18, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Thank you. I'm beginning to think that Wikipedia is not for me! You have been really helpful and very kind. My goal this morning was just to get CHS recognised on Wikipedia. I thought it would be a straight forward procedure but I have so much to learn.StaffTJWChiHigh (talk) 14:24, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Out of curiousity—but this might be helpful—is the "TJW" in your username your own initials (if so, don't reveal them) or a position, role at the school? —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 14:27, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

No, just means something to me StaffTJWChiHigh (talk) 15:00, 26 June 2018 (UTC) Thank you to everyone for their help, sadly I don't think Wikipedia is going to work for me, it's such a steep learning curve! I had the best intentions, hopefully someone will make a page up with the information required as it really is a great school (OfSTED Outstanding!)and the community need to see this if they search the school name via the trusted voice of Wikipedia. Thank you to you all StaffTJWChiHigh (talk) 15:15, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

@StaffTJWChiHigh: Hey, stick around  :) it's not half-s bad as it looks—we get so much spam that there's a pretty hard line taken on it, you've just got caught up in a broader net, that's all. I think 311 dot might agree with me that now your username is just a collection of caps, it's less of an issue (and certainly in the spirit of "TJW@CHS", etc). Here's a deal; you stick around, and I'll give you a hand with the school page. Done? —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 15:48, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply

Note Acronyms of the institution is also not acceptable. Usernames need to represent an individual not a company/institution. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:04, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
Note Wrong. "X @ company Y" is fine, per WP:ISU, and it is difficult not to see that in this case. —SerialNumber54129 paranoia /cheap sh*t room 18:08, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
@Serial Number 54129: Not wrong, but X@company is not the requested username is it. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:20, 26 June 2018 (UTC)Reply
