User talk:DVFSMarketing

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Request reason:

Alexf, please help me understand how to oterhwise include a logo on the school wikipedia page. We created a school account, because in order to upload the logo it was required to claim the copyright to the artwork. The school is the only entity with a copyright to the logo and the photos shown. That is why the school account was created. Please help me understand how universities and other institutions logos are shown on their wikipedia page, if the file uploaded needs to be copyright owned.

Also, can I appeal to someone to fact check the details on our page so that they are deemed true and accurate? And can someone tell us how the language needs to be altered - specifically - so that it is not brought into question? Thank you. We are new to this.

Decline reason:

Wikipedia does not allow shared or "school" accounts. If you want to release a copyrighted image under a free license, you are welcome to email permissions-commonswikimedia.org with the relevant licensing information. If "we" created this account, it's not going to be unblocked. You are welcome to create new individual accounts for each of you, but I would strongly advise you to read Wikipedia's guidelines on conflicts of interest and on the use of primary sources, as well as the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use regarding paid contributions.

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.

Answer: fair-use/fair dealing. The uploader of an image is not always the person who holds the copyright (indeed, if we accepted that claim at face value it would make impersonation of institutions and people trivial; we generally require people to follow these instructions if they want to donate their material). —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 23:55, 12 February 2016 (UTC)

In order to be unblocked, you'll need to request a new user name. Use {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. PhilKnight (talk) 01:22, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Requested username:

new username (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I'm told that I need to make a username change request because the name use was not in compliance. Please let me know next steps. THX DVFSMarketing (talk) 02:44, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline. See my comment below. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 17:33, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

Replace the "new username" portion above with the username you want. But please read WP:Username policy before you do so. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 04:55, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

In the template {{unblock-un}} replace the words "new username" with the name you want to use. Note that the name of any organization, institution or company is not an acceptable username. note also that a Wikipedia account must be accessible to one person only. --Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 17:33, 13 February 2016 (UTC)

db-user

please see comments above. our understanding is that we need to change the user name or delete the account. Would like to have help understanding what to do next. we don't want to be in violation of any standards, so please advise.

We cannot, for both technical and legal reasons, delete accounts. You can still submit an unblock request to change your name (using {{unblock-un|<new username>|<reason>}}). Note that user talk pages are almost never deleted barring privacy issues. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 04:37, 14 February 2016 (UTC)

This account should not be unblocked because the same user operates another account, Kadamskeller (see: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Kadamskeller). They do not need two accounts. Vanjagenije (talk) 10:14, 16 February 2016 (UTC)
