Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or sock puppetry.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Chris Grant, Jr.

Hello SamH777,

It seems to me that an article you worked on, Chris Grant, Jr., may have something copied from http://www.chrisgrantjr.com/page/biography-1. It's entirely possible that I made a mistake, but I wanted to let you know because Wikipedia is strict about copying from other sites.

It's important that you edit the article and rewrite it in your own words, unless you're absolutely certain nothing in it is copied. If you're not sure how to fix the problem or have any questions, there are people at the help desk who are happy to assist you.

Thank you for helping build a free encyclopedia! CorenSearchBot (talk) 02:21, 26 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Chris Grant, Jr.

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 Chris Grant, Jr., requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be a clear copyright infringement. (See section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. However, even if you use one of these processes to release copyrighted material to Wikipedia, it still needs to comply with the other policies and guidelines to be eligible for inclusion. If you would like any assistance with this, you can ask a question at the help desk.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Christopher Grant Jr

The article Christopher Grant Jr has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

September 2017

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, 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. Alex Shih ^Talk 09:02, 5 September 2017 (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.

Request reason:

Hi, Sorry for the oversight. I understand the reason my account was blocked. In the future, I will attempt to make useful contributions on various topics. I'm asking that my account is unblocked. Kind regards,

Decline reason:

You need to convince us you understand why your existing contributions were inappropriate for Wikipedia. You'll also need to "Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked." Yamla (talk) 12:03, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I've done the rename (from User:7hornsmkt), and someone should be here before too long to review your unblock request. Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 11:11, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Thank you for updating the username. I do understand that I got blocked because I was attempting to write an article as a company representative and not as an individual(which I am). I will no longer make that mistake. After reviewing the guidelines I better understand how, when and where to make contributions on the platform. I hope my response suffices and that you reinstate my account.

On another note: I was wondering if it is still possible for anyone to offer a contribution/article regarding actor/singer "Chris Grant Jr." I would hope that my mistake would not preclude future contributions on behalf of this artists. Please advise. Thanks.SamH777 (talk) 17:10, 6 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

PLEASE...let me know what else I must do to have my account unblocked. I look forward to being a productive contributor. Thanks again for your time.

SamH777 (talk) 18:33, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

(Non-administrator comment) (recent changes patroller) You need to file an unblock request the proper way. Otherwise you are shouting at a wall. ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 18:43, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for responding. I followed the instructions on requesting my account be unblocked. I even made clear that I understood the reason for the unblock and pasted my response in the brackets "{tlx|unblock|Your reason here}"they suggested. I'm not sure what I'm missing. Please advise. Thanks. SamH777 (talk) 18:50, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You need to file another one with the same unblock template. Then such request appears in a category, CAT:UNBLOCK, and admins will look at that. Please also indent your messages by putting one extra colon than the last message (as it will be displayed in edit mode). ^{My name is}not^dave (talk/contribs) 18:53, 13 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

This is my third attempt requesting that my account be unblocked. I was unclear before on how to resolve the problem. I look forward to being a positive contributor to the platform. Thanks again.

Decline reason:

Your sole purpose here appears to be to promote this singer. To have a realistic prospect of being unblocked please specify some reliably sourced edit that you would like to make to other pages. Just Chilling (talk) 23:19, 15 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Thanks for responding... Before I reviewed the policies. I thought that the purpose of my account was to add information on people and topics I was familiar with that were not properly represented on the platform. The individual I posted about was just the one that I had tried before and was having trouble with so I kept trying to fix it without ever really understanding my errors...until now. I didn't realize at the time it was considered spamming, or advertising. All of the info I posted was documented facts from third-party sources and backed on Wikipedia. None of the information I posted was advertising (at least to my knowledge) it was just facts. With that said I see now, it would have made more sense just to link the name to the documented info already on Wikipedia ( let me know if that would have been best). I better understand the "sandbox" and realize I can have my info reviewed before it gets me blocked or deleted. I follow entertainment and can make valid contributions on many topics, now that I better understand the platform and policies. It's hard to list out exact people and topics I could contribute to off the top of my head because I would need to go and confirm the info wasn't already here and I don't have the time right now. Nevertheless... I've tried my best to communicate my apologies for my mistake and oversight. I hope my explanation is adequate and you allow my account be unblocked. Thank you for your patience with me as I try to get this matter resolved. Best.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks and no admin has decided to weigh in. You are welcome to request another unblock, but if you do so, please rewrite your request. Yamla (talk) 01:18, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

I'll continue my attempt to be unblocked. Please review my request... I still haven't gotten a reply since my last response on 9/16/17, so I'm reposting... Before I reviewed the policies. I thought that the purpose of my account was to add information on people and topics I was familiar with that were not properly represented on the platform.

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request is essentially identical with only minor changes, to the previous request which admins did not find convincing. As such, there's no reasonable hope this request will be answered. You are welcome to request another block review but need to rewrite your request. Yamla (talk) 11:38, 7 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hi, After several years I'm trying once again to have my account unblocked. Originally I made the mistake of promoting a business and/or brand and reposting content that had already been published on the net. I later discovered that this was clearly against wikipedia policies. I've learned from my mistakes, and will not do it again. I've been blocked for over 5 years. Now I'm asking once again to have my account unblocked and to be reinstated. I believe I have the knowledge and insight to be a positive contributor on this platform. My diverse knowledge of the entertainment industry and various tech would make me an asset and qualified contributor. Please reconsider and unblock my account. Thanks once again for reviewing my request. Hopefully I posted this correctly. Kind regards SamH777 (talk) 04:40, 6 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Here are just some quick examples of updates I would like to make. Please let me know if this will suffice or if I need to find more. Kind regards. The page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_Movement_Records) has typos and misinformation

"CMR is to release his first three solo albums. Hence solidifying the label's span of music being Da' T.R.U.T.H. & the Cross Movement for the East Coast, Midwest with the artists FLAME and J.R.."

Advised correction: CMR is the acronym for the label Cross Movement Records, it's not a person, so it's not "his first release"

For the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Backyardigans

"Tyrone somehow manages to put his hands in his pockets. Speaking voice: Reginald Davis Jr. (season 1-2), Jordan Coleman (seasons 2–3), and Christopher Grant, Jr. (season 4)."

Christopher Grant, Jr. should be listed as Chris Grant Jr (check IMDB) he's also a rapper and YouTube'er (Granted Geek)
