User talk:ED8official

October 2016

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "ED8official", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it suggests shared usage. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why.

Note:

 This account is not shared, ED8 is my alias and official has been added because ED8 is a very common item in certain games and the term ED8 occurs many times. I put official to stand out as a person and brand. In many cases ED8 cannot even be chosen as a name because it is taken, therefore I am ED8official.

As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username by completing this form, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Usernames containing the word "official" are often used by a representative of the named person, and not the person themselves. If you are Ethan Davis, you should change your username to remove the "official". If you are not Davis, then you should change your name to remove his name. 331dot (talk) 16:59, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I would highly suggest that you consider changing your name. It has been flagged by the automated bots at the usernames for attention page. I'm not sure if your explanation would be found to be sufficient by adminstrators; is there nothing else you would be willing to add to ED8? ("ED8musician", "ED8gamer", etc.) 331dot (talk) 02:40, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also still unclear as to if you are Ethan Davis or not; if you are not, you will definitely need to change your name. 331dot (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Ethan Davis

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 Ethan Davis, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia.

Note:

 I am currently developing my article and I see why you would want to delete it, I am working to finish it soon and I will make sure that it meets the community guidelines. Other YouTubers have wikipedia articles about them but I found none for ED8 so I am writing one.

This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 17:00, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

 I will edit my summary I simply started writing one of my articles in the wrong place.

Writing about yourself

You are welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, but it is not a social media site like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles. Writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Wikipedia:Autobiography.

Wikipedia user pages are not like those at social networking sites. Their use is explained at WP:NOTWEBHOST:

"Wikipedians have their own user pages, but they should be used primarily to present information relevant to working on the encyclopedia. Limited biographical information is allowed, but user pages should not function as personal webpages or be repositories for large amounts of material that is irrelevant to collaborating on Wikipedia. If you are looking to make a personal webpage or blog or to post your résumé, please make use of one of the many free providers on the Internet or any hosting included with your Internet account."

You can find out more about Wikipedia at the WP:Welcome page and the WP:Introduction, as well as Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Thanks. --Drm310 (talk) 18:00, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because... (I corrected this page and it is now as it should be and meets the terms and conditions.) --ED8official (talk) 18:24, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's better now, thanks. An admin has removed the speedy deletion template. --Drm310 (talk) 20:11, 14 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

October 2016

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. Orange Mike | Talk 19:12, 16 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
