Would you consider contributing to WIkiVoyage?

Hi Schadow1, Eugene here. I think the information you are adding about trails might be a better fit on Wikipedia's sister project WikiVoyage, the free travel guide. Also, in Wikimedia Commons, we discourage uploading of photos that have watermarks or captions on the image itself. —seav (talk) 22:54, 17 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Seav, will try that out Schadow1 (talk) 15:28, 3 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You have been added in Wikiquote

This is to inform you that I have added you up in Wikiquote Ervin Malicdem. I have read some of your articles online and I find some of your lines inspiring. Philippine Adventurer (talk) 10:01, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, Philippine Adventurer. Glad to know you loved the quotes. Schadow1 (talk) 17:16, 10 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Leyte Gulf

I remembered that you added some diving data at Hinatuan Enchanted River I just thought that you might have an idea if there are some interesting data on diving spots and/or WWII wreckage in the Leyte gulf region. My google search didn't display any decent references for diving. --Lenticel ^(talk) 05:59, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Lenticel Unfortunately, when I had my expedition at our country's eastern seaboard, I wasn't able to gather much data on Leyte Gulf except for a small data about the battle that happened there. There must be a lot of wreckage there. Most notable could be the Musashi however it was still able to cross Samar and sank at Sibuyan. (As discovered by Paul Allen of Microsoft). Apparently, Leyte Gulf is too deep for scuba diving as it already borders the Philippine trench. Schadow1 (talk) 09:20, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ah I see, so that's why I can't find Leyte gulf diving spots over the net. --Lenticel ^(talk) 23:55, 23 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet investigation

Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Schadow1, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Winner 42 Talk to me! 01:39, 8 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This accusation was answered here. Apparently filed by a set of 4 contributors/administrators who could not handle policy-backed debates and would rather instill censorship over progression tenets of 'productive' Wikipedia. Schadow1 (talk) 09:17, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

This account has been blocked from editing for a period of 1 week for sock puppetry per evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Schadow1. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. Once the block has expired, you're welcome to make useful contributions. If you believe that this block was in error, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Mike V • Talk 17:37, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

COI

Please stop introducing information with which you have a conflict of interest. Wikipedia is not a place to promote you or your website. I thought this was clear after the SPI block, but consider this a warning not to introduce material with which you have a conflict of interest in the future. Winner 42 Talk to me! 15:21, 11 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest filing a COIN so that I will be barred from editing those articles if that is what you wish. Schadow1 (talk) 09:04, 13 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

ANI notice

There is currently a discussion at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents regarding an issue with which you may have been involved. Thank you.

June 2015

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the 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}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Beeblebrox (talk) 04:02, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Schadow1 is my internet avatar since high school. 15 years before I put up my travel and mapping resource site for the Philippines. I would not and will not be changing my WikiPhilosophy for any reason at all. My gratitude to the majority of Wikipedia contributors who continue to make Wikipedia a reliable resource and a good community of editors. Schadow1 (talk) 16:27, 16 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
