Your submission at Articles for creation: Dead In A Week (or your money back) (May 13)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by KylieTastic was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of films). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Dead In A Week (or your money back) and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Dead In A Week (or your money back), click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{Db-g7}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
If you do not make any further changes to your draft, in 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Rathergoodfilm! Having an article declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing. If you are wondering why your article submission was declined, please post a question at the Articles for creation help desk. If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself! See you there! KylieTastic (talk) 17:00, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

May 2020

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. ~ ToBeFree (talk) 18:09, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Requested username:

DKC2020 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am a film producer and was trying to add factual information with sources to articles relating to completed projects. I understand now the need to declare a conflict of interest. I have not been paid or sought to gain anything by doing so. My films have been seen by hundreds and hundreds of thousands of people across the world on Netflix and I was keen to add information on the personnel involved. There was no malicious intent

Decline reason:

You forgot to tell us what you'll write about, now that you know you won't be unblocked to write about subject areas for which you have a conflict of interest. Yamla (talk) 20:03, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This help request has been answered. If you need more help, you can ask another question on your talk page, contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page, or consider visiting the Teahouse.

So I'm trying to get back to being unblocked. I emailed the Wikimedia Commons Information Team to link my account with Rather Good Film, a company I run and have confirmation this has been accepted "I've placed the verification template. However, as you have requested the account be renamed, this isn't strictly necessary. The account is now labeled as belonging to Rather Good Film. Yours sincerely, Alex Noble." I now understand how to declare a conflict of interest if contributing to articles related to projects I have been involved with. I'd like to get back to contributing and would welcome any instruction as to how to do that, or am I being told I should be abandoning this and starting with a new username? Thanks in advance for your help - again I never meant to break any rules. Technically I own the rights to the poster images I was adding to projects and was happy to put them in the public domain - I understand I didn't do this the right way. My intention was not to mislead. Thanks for your help (Rathergoodfilm (talk) 09:40, 14 May 2020 (UTC))[reply]

Wikimedia Commons is a different project from the English Wikipedia. To be unblocked, please follow the instructions in the block notice. 331dot (talk) 09:49, 14 May 2020 (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).

DKC2020 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

account now officially linked to Rather Good Film

Decline reason:

Wikimedia Commons has no authority over the English Wikipedia. "Officially linked" company accounts might be allowed at Commons, but we don't have the concept of "officially linked" company accounts at the English Wikipedia. Company accounts are simply not allowed here at all. So if you wish to edit here, you will need to request a rename as instructed. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 12:32, 14 May 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.

Request reason:

Apologies I didn't previously understand the difference between Wikimedia Commons and English Wikipedia - I thought I'd done what I needed to to get unblocked, I now understand that I need to change my username in order to continue per this request. Once unblocked I would love to update wikipedia entries relating to my passions that are film and football with board games in between

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. Yamla (talk) 17:35, 2 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

globally renamed Rathergoodfilm to DKC2020. Unblock discussion

globally renamed Rathergoodfilm to DKC2020, Intriguingly, in the context of the above discussions, you are blocked on Commons as well. Perhaps this will suffice there.
If you have not done so, please read and heed WP:COI and WP:PAID. I should think you will not be allowed to directly edit about subjects connected with your company. Please tell us what constructive edits you would make to build the world's largest free-content encycloedia. Thanks, --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 16:15, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, as you are PAID, while the software won't stop you from creating articles directly, agreeing to go through WP:AfC would, in my opinion, be a requirement for unblocking. --Deep fried okra User talk:Deepfriedokra 16:18, 14 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks User talk:Deepfriedokra for trying to help me with this. I'm very happy to go through WP:AfC and have reviewed the information there and linked to there. I understand that I have a COI on anything film-related as I've worked in the industry for 15 years and it's my hobby as well as my work. Anything I've created so far I've been sure to thoroughly reference from independent sources. I am definitely a SME because of my experience. I can stick "Text inserted on behalf of COI editor User:DKC2020" on future articles to see that they are viewed in that light. At the moment I'm blocked and not clear on what I need to do to get out of that... thanks for your ongoing help - I seem to have inadvertently stepped on an early mine!
