User talk:F writer935

July 2024

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
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; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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 your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Pickersgill-Cunliffe (talk) 19:50, 11 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

The username still reflects the company while complying with Wikipedia's username policy.

Decline reason:

That might or might not satisfy the username issue, but you haven't addressed the first three steps from the block notice. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 15:31, 8 August 2024 (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.

Requested username:

fogos01 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

1. I am not receiving compensation for any contributions on this site. 2. I understand why I was blocked and won't do it again. 3. If unblocked, I intend to edit articles about computers, technology, and marketing. I intended to make copy edits and add to existing content on subject matter articles.

Decline reason:

According to your own statements, you personally created the logo and you personally own the copyright to the logo. That means you definitely have a conflict of interest and definitely count as a paid editor. It's unlikely you'll be unblocked in the short term to edit in the very subject area for which you have a conflict. We need to be absolutely sure you won't promote your company or any of its clients, and need to know you understand what was wrong with your edits. Yamla (talk) 21:50, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I promise my intentions are not to promote my company. My intentions on this platform are to contribute to the IT, cybersecurity, and marketing articles as an expert contributor. Other companies have articles on this site with their logos displayed on their pages and they are not flagged as spam or conflict of interest. Can you please explain what am I doing wrong so I can not repeat the same mistake? I just want to make this right. Fogo Solutions (talk) 17:14, 9 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Your choice of new username is not acceptable(it just abbreviates the name of your company). Your username must reflect you as an individual(your real name is not required). If you want to indicate the company in your username, you may format it as "JohnDoe of FogoSolutions" or similar.
You gravely misunderstand what it is we do here. Companies do not "have pages" or anything here. Wikipedia has articles about topics, including some companies that meet our criteria for inclusion. This isn't a database of companies that exist. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell about themselves. Wikipedia articles are typically written by independent editors wholly unconnected with the topic, and summarize what independent reliable sources choose on their own to say about it. What you are doing wrong is that you failed to declare your status as an employee as required by the Terms of Use, please see WP:PAID. You also want to edit in the fields of your company- please see conflict of interest as well as WP:EXPERT. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about topics for which you have a conflict of interest. If you want to edit about other topics, please tell what those are. Once you have a good edit history showing your understanding of relevant policies, you may later be permitted to indirectly make COI related edits, but not now. 331dot (talk) 07:30, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding the logo, you claim that you personally created the logo of your company and own the copyright to it. This is likely incorrect- perhaps you did so unintentionally- logos are not typically uploaded to Commons. By doing so you have made the company logo available for anyone to use for any purpose with attribution(this includes competitors). This would mean, hypothetically, that someone could take your logo, print it on clothing, and sell it and your company would not be entitled to any money from the sale of its own logo. If you didn't intend to do that, I suggest that you immediately(right now) go to Commons and request deletion of the image. Logos are typically uploaded to this Wikipedia locally under "fair use" rules. That does carry some restrictions(such as being unable to be used in a draft) but does permit limited use in articles. New accounts can't directly upload images here(they can at Commons which is perhaps why you went there). 331dot (talk) 07:30, 10 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

f_writer935 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Thank you for clarifying. I understand now. I apologize for not disclosing my status as an employee and unintentionally creating any conflict of interest. To prevent a conflict of interest, I intend to contribute to articles about New Orleans, the Gulf South, Atlanta, books, plants, and filmmaking.

Accept reason:

I have unblocked. Welcome back. PhilKnight (talk) 14:00, 12 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pickersgill-Cunliffe What do you think? 331dot (talk) 09:18, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Pickersgill-Cunliffe if you don't object, I'll unblock this user. PhilKnight (talk) 16:38, 8 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please Undelete My Draft

Question for administrator

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

--~~~~ F writer935 (talk) 17:48, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft included "Managed IT services from FOGO Solutions provide comprehensive, proactive technology management that ensures your business's IT infrastructure operates smoothly and securely. FOGO handles everything from network monitoring and maintenance to providing technical support from their expert team." That isn't "merely history and facts about the company". I am not going to undelete it. PhilKnight (talk) 18:06, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PhilKnight: after your comment, this user went to User talk:JBW to demand its undeletion. See here. I suggest it's time to reblock this user indefinitely. --Yamla (talk) 18:39, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla I contacted JWB BEFORE PhilKnight replied to my request. Check the time stamp. Also, I didn't demand, I asked. There's a difference. F writer935 (talk) 19:50, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@PhilKnight:Please do not reblock me. I contacted JBW BEFORE you responded. I can edit the language in that sentence however you would like me to. Also, I never submitted it for review. It was still in the draft space. I was still working on it.

PhilKnight left this message and then almost fifteen minutes later, you left this message. --Yamla (talk) 20:33, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Please Undelete My Draft Request 2

This request for help from administrators has been answered. If you need more help or have additional questions, please reapply the {{admin help}} template, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their own user talk page.

This is my second attempt at requesting the undeletion of my article, FOGO Solutions, which was in the draftspace and not yet submitted for review. This article was not intended to be "unambigously advertising." I am happy to change any language that makes it appear that way. Please do not reblock me. I'm just trying to get this resolved. I do not want to start anything on here. F writer935 (talk) 20:23, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Really terrible plan to keep on asking this when we are considering blocking you for exactly this. --Yamla (talk) 20:34, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have re-blocked you for your attempts to get your draft undeleted. PhilKnight (talk) 21:44, 10 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla @PhilKnight How is that a terrible plan? I don't understand how asking for asking for my draft to undeleted is grounds for blocking me. I submitted a request here first then when I saw the dispute process, I reached out to the administrator who deleted my draft about undeleting as per dispute protocol. Was that not correct? F writer935 (talk) 17:20, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We have no interest whatsoever in you continuing to work on that blatantly promotional draft. You've said your goal is "not to promote my company" yet you continue to go out of your way to show this is indeed your goal. Frankly at this point, there's no chance you'll be unblocked without a topic ban on FOGO Solutions and related subject areas, broadly construed. --Yamla (talk) 17:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Yamla I have not gone out of my way to promote my company, at least not intentionally. Other than, the previously, reference phrase, could you please provide other examples in the draft that indicate promotion? Also, you never answered my previous questions. I just want to understand.

Request to be UnBlocked

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).

F writer935 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I made a mistake in my execution of requesting my draft to be undeleted. I understand the mistake I made in my draft that caused it to be deleted. Please unblock me so I may correct it.

Decline reason:

You will not be allowed to edit anything having to do with FOGO, nor will your entirely promotional draft be undeleted. This being said, if you still wish to be unblocked, you may let us know in another unblock notice what contributions to Wikipedia we may expect from you in the future. --jpgordon^{𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇} 19:03, 12 February 2025 (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.

If you truly understand the mistake you made, you'll propose a WP:TOPICBAN. Please do so. --Yamla (talk) 17:27, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly oppose unblocking this user. --Yamla (talk) 17:45, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly oppose you being belligerent and refusing to answer my questions so I can have some clarity, yet here we are. F writer935 (talk) 18:53, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Response to UnBlock Request Decline

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).

F writer935 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Request reason:

I understand the reason for the decline. In the future, you can expect me to continue editing articles about movies, books, comics/superheroes, writing, Judaism, and medicine.

Question: Would be I allowed to have a third-party editor that is not affiliated with FOGO rewrite the draft in a manner that is not promotional?

Decline reason:

No. This is not a place to promote your business, no matter who is doing the writing. Your apparent unwillingness or inability to understand and abide by this has wasted a substantial amount of volunteer time at this point. Beeblebrox ^Beebletalks 20:29, 12 February 2025 (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.

No, you can't bypass the ban by asking someone to edit for you. 331dot (talk) 19:35, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@331dot Apologies. Let me clarify. Can I have someone write an entirely new draft for me in a manner that is not promotional? F writer935 (talk) 19:40, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My advice is that you competely abandon efforts to contribute in any manner about that topic, including asking others to edit for you instead. 331dot (talk) 20:21, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

February 2025

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

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

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System.
Please note that there could be appeals to the Unblock Ticket Request System that have been declined leading to the posting of this notice.
