August 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Firefly Distillery has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.twitter.com/OnTheFlyTour). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 16:59, 12 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you work for the Sazerac Company?

Hello. I notice that you seem to have a pattern of editing in a way that seems to introduce a "positive spin" on the products and marketing efforts of the Sazerac Company (specifically, Firefly Distillery and Fireball Cinnamon Whisky). I suggest that you review the Wikipedia:Conflict of Interest policy. Do you have a conflict of interest in relation to the Sazerac Company? —BarrelProof (talk) 22:51, 13 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey BP. I appreciate you reaching out and appreciate the concern. I do not work for the Sazerac company and have no conflicts of interest. I am a fan of the alcohol world and would like to help the community by adding my .02 to Sazerac and non-Sazerac pages alike. --Bermsalot (User talk:Bermsalot) 26 April 2016 (UTC)

Thank you for responding. —BarrelProof (talk) 19:05, 27 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sandbox

Hi, Bermsalot. I noticed you seemed to run into problems editing the Wikipedia:Sandbox — probably you were editing logged out, as I can't see any sandbox edits in your contributions. I don't understand what was problematic, but anyway, you can always practise editing safely in your own sandbox. Here it is: User:Bermsalot/sandbox. Bishonen | talk 14:25, 18 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]

On second thoughts, I probably misunderstood — the problem was to do with your userpage, not the sandbox, right? And your IP was warned for supposedly "vandalizing" your userpage, simply because people can't tell it's you when you edit logged out. (Which is always best avoided.) In any case, your userpage is not for practising, but your sandbox is. Bishonen | talk 14:31, 18 May 2016 (UTC).[reply]

May 2016

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Finlandia (vodka) may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "{}"s. If you have, don't worry: just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

List of unpaired brackets remaining on the page:

Your submission at Articles for creation: Submission Underground 2 (December 12)

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

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:Submission Underground 2 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Submission Underground 2 (December 22)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage about the subject in reliable sources that are independent of the subject—see the general guideline on notability and the golden rule. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Still not enough to satisfy our notability policies for an acceptable article, since it was only one event and that's all.

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:Submission Underground 2 and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.

Please check this page and fix the errors highlighted. If you think this is a false positive, you can report it to my operator. Thanks, ReferenceBot (talk) 00:34, 5 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your submission at Articles for creation: 99 Brand (September 21)

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Only an advertised business profile too suggestive of this and also when considering the current sources are essentially announcements or notices; the page in current form is similar to what an ordinary public relations is, wherever the sources were published, and notability cannot be inherited.

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:99 Brand and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.

March 2020

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for abusing multiple accounts. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but not for illegitimate reasons, and any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted.

If you think there are good reasons for being unblocked, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the following text below the block notice on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. Yunshui ^雲 _水 21:48, 27 March 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).

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

Request reason:

I have been blocked for having multiple accounts, but this is the only account I've ever used. I've been using it solely since 2010. For years, I have provided edits across pages in several topics, I've started pages, and been a participant in talk pages.

Decline reason:

You have not addressed the undisclosed paid editing. In addition, simple denial is not sufficient in sockpuppetry cases, as every sockpuppeteer denies doing so. You will need to explain your circumstances as to why we think you are a sock if you are not. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 06:50, 28 March 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.
