Notice of general sanctions

Please read this notification carefully, it contains important information about an administrative situation on Wikipedia. It does not imply any misconduct regarding your own contributions to date.

A community decision has authorised the use of general sanctions for pages related to the blockchain and cryptocurrencies. The details of these sanctions are described here. All pages that are broadly related to these topics are subject to a one revert per twenty-four hours restriction, as described here.

General sanctions is a system of conduct regulation designed to minimise disruption in controversial topic areas. This means uninvolved administrators can impose sanctions for edits relating to these topics that do not adhere to the purpose of Wikipedia, our standards of behaviour, or relevant policies. Administrators may impose sanctions such as editing restrictions, bans, or blocks. An editor can only be sanctioned after he or she has been made aware that general sanctions are in effect. This notification is meant to inform you that sanctions are authorised in these topic areas, which you have been editing. It is only effective if it is logged here. Before continuing to edit pages in these topic areas, please familiarise yourself with the general sanctions system. Don't hesitate to contact me or another editor if you have any questions.

Conflict of interest in Wikipedia

Hi CryptoWriter. I spend time working on conflict of interest issues here in Wikipedia, along with my regular editing. I am not an administrator. Your edits to date make it appear that you have some connection with the Stellar.

Lots of people come to Wikipedia with some sort of conflict of interest and are not aware of how the editing community defines and manages conflict of interest. I'm giving you notice of our Conflict of Interest guideline and Terms of Use, and will have some comments and requests for you below.

Hello, CryptoWriter. 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. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (see the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

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

Also please note that editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.

Comments and requests

Wikipedia is a widely-used reference work and managing conflict of interest is essential for ensuring the integrity of Wikipedia and retaining the public's trust in it. Unmanaged conflicts of interest can also lead to people behaving in ways that violate our behavioral policies and cause disruption in the normal editing process. Managing conflict of interest well, also protects conflicted editors themselves - please see WP:Wikipedia is in the real world, and Conflict-of-interest editing on Wikipedia for some guidance and stories about people who have brought bad press upon themselves through unmanaged conflict of interest editing.

As in academia, COI is managed here in two steps - disclosure and a form of peer review. Please note that there is no bar to being part of the Wikipedia community if you want to be involved in articles where you have a conflict of interest; there are just some things we ask you to do (and if you are paid, some things you need to do).

Disclosure is the most important, and first, step. While I am not asking you to disclose your identity (anonymity is strictly protecting by our WP:OUTING policy) would you please disclose if you have some connection with the Stellar Foundation or if you hold Stellar? (holding a cryptocurrency constitutes a conflict of interest in Wikipedia, with respect to that currency and its competitors.) You can answer how ever you wish (giving personally identifying information or not), but if there is a connection, please disclose it, and additionally, if you are editing for pay or the expectation of being paid, you must disclose that. After you respond (and you can just reply below), if it is relevant I can walk you through how the "peer review" part happens and then, if you like, I can provide you with some more general orientation as to how this place works. Please reply here, just below, to keep the discussion in one place. Thanks! Jytdog (talk) 20:06, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Other account

Would you please reply, and let me know if you also created CrpytoWriter? Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 20:09, 27 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi thank you for the warm welcome Jytdog. I will be glad to visit the resources listed above. My sincere apologies if I violated any unknow rules. I decided to take "the plunge" and pursue my passion, writing. Its that simple. If I broke any grammar, syntax or rules in general. I accept any censoring. Yes, I will read the sanctions area now as well as the help, contribution, five pillars etc. immediately. I accept any penalties that are doled for being too eager to contribute. Yes I created CrpytoWriter. If you look closely, I misspelled Crypto. Not the best way to be taken serious with spelling and grammatical errors. So, I spelled it correct in creating a new account. I completely understand. I am not affiliated with the Stellar Foundation nor am I paid by any organization to write any articles. My future goal in to be a writer. As I have been putting off my dream for long enough. I am enthralled by blockchain and cryptos. I reside in the Midwest. Yesterday, I read a great article by a journalist from the Wall Street Journal. He wrote a fabulous piece about how they created the WSJ token for fun. Absolutely amazing! He travelled to Japan for the story. Anyhow, yes I will start reviewing more before I make any further reviews and writeups. As I decided to take the plunge and pursue my writing career in the blockchain space. I welcome being mentored as I have a passion for writing and technology. Can we schedule time to chat and walk through the space? Again, I accept any censoring for any rule I may have unknowing violated that was not my intention. I am here because I generally love writing and find the blockchain space fascinating.Cryptowriter (talk) 21:56, 28 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for replying! Quick note on the logistics of discussing things on Talk pages, which are essential for everything that happens here. In Talk page discussions, we "thread" comments by indenting (see WP:THREAD) - when you reply to someone, you put a colon in front of your comment, which the Wikipedia software will render into an indent when you save your edit; if the other person has indented once, then you indent twice by putting two colons in front of your comment, which the WP software converts into two indents, and so on, and when that gets ridiculous you reset back to the margin (or "outdent") by putting this {{od}} in front of your comment. Threading/indenting also allows you to make it clear if you are also responding to something that someone else responded to if there are more than two people in the discussion; in that case you would indent the same amount as the person just above you in the thread. I hope that all makes sense. And at the end of the comment, please "sign" by typing exactly four (not 3 or 5) tildas "~~~~" which the WP software converts into a date stamp and links to your talk and user pages when you save your edit. That is how we know who said what to whom and when.

Please be aware that threading and signing are fundamental etiquette here, as basic as "please" and "thank you", and continually failing to thread and sign communicates rudeness, and eventually people may start to ignore you (see here).

I know this is unwieldy, but this is the software environment we have to work on. Will reply on the substance in a second... Jytdog (talk) 16:48, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

About the other account. The fact that you have two accounts needs to be disclosed. Would you please add to this account's user page a disclosure of the other account and a promise to stop using it? Something like "Before I created this account, I created the account CrpytoWriter which has a typo, and will not use it any more." And on that page, please post something like "This account name has a typo. I created CryptoWriter and am using that account; I will not use this account any longer".

Please reply here when that is done, and then we can finish the conflict of interest discussion. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 16:51, 31 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Pardon the delay been quite busy with work. Nevertheless, I understand etiquette on signing all edits and comments. I also, posted disclosure on my page. However, I have since lost the password to the CrpytoWriter account. Again, thank you. Now do you have anymore useful tips to share? Please do. CryptoWriter (talk) 20:11, 12 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Great - I tweaked the disclosure of the other account here, and I added a link back to this account at CrpytoWriter. All good to go. Thanks! Tips anon...Jytdog (talk) 00:10, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: Stellar Payband (November 17)

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

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still reads like an advert

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:Stellar Payband 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Stellar Payband

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 Draft:Stellar Payband, 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.

Thank you for the care.
