User talk:Ceftus

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 this 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. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 13:43, 19 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

To whom it may concern, the centre for turkey studies is a non profit organisation that promotes relations between the UK and Turkey. This is a well established organisation that is highly regarded among academics, politicians and journalists alike, promoting discussion and healthy debate. This page was not intended for the promotion of the organisation but raising awareness of means through which the public can become more informed of the issues regarding Turkey, the UK and the rest of the world.

They are predominantly in Turkish due to organisations' wide acclaim. I can reword the initial page to fit in with wikipedia's guidelines, if you could provide some assistance in this. Thanks

Decline reason:

Firstly, you need to change your username to a name that is unconnected to any organisation or product, so for your next unblock request you should use the text:
{{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}

Secondly, I am unconvinced that you should be editing articles where you have a significant conflict of interest. PhilKnight (talk) 22:36, 19 July 2016 (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.

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.

Requested username:

jedi4ursoul2580 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

There is no conflict of interest as I am a third party helping setup their wikipedia page and not a full time employee of the Centre. I am also charged with creating another page for the Centre for Kurdish Progress as well, as you see these are 2 different organisations and therefore no conflicts should arise

Decline reason:

If you are working for an organisation, "helping setup their wikipedia page" as you describe it, then you have a conflict of interest, whether you are a full time employee, a part time employee, an independent contractor, an unpaid volunteer, or whatever. Also, nothing you say suggests that you intend to do anything different than what you did before the block; you are unlikely to be unblocked as long as it seems that your intention is to create a page the purpose of which is to use Wikipedia to publicise or promote an organisation.
