Speedy deletion nomination of The Script Lab

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 The Script Lab requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about 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. Under 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 that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WuhWuzDat 07:54, 19 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that it appears you have been using multiple accounts for promotional purposes. Wikipedia is not intended as a venue for self-promotion or advertising, nor do we allow the use of multiple accounts for that purpose. Thank you. Ckatz^chat _spy 18:49, 17 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why you've sought to antagonize me. I'll even direct you to this article Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers which I'm sure you're quite familiar. I have no affiliation to The Script Lab, and I felt that the screenwriting page (by wikipedias own admission) was severely lacking information that impacts information seeking users - online screenwriting education is valid. Furthermore The Script Lab have a larger impact on the community than a few of the companies already mentioned on the page.
Lastly, I looked through your history and you sock-puppeted a whole bunch of people that are in no way me. One time I forget my login from another computer and I started "ilovemckay" (or whatever it was). Look before you leap and please stop admonishing people from acting on the intent that wikipedia was based on.Hedshots (talk) 03:52, 18 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, such hub bub. The folks over at The Script Lab tweeted out to it's peeps to stop making pages for them, to think this started with me trying to make a page. LOL . I also want to make one last appeal for the others who've been labeled as my sock puppets, I made one other account when I forgot my username – I believe it was "ilovemckay", anyone else is not me. Also I work from a coffee shop who says their IP was banned, my buddy says it's my fault. Again not gonna go crazy over appeals here, just throwing it out there. I apologize for any confusion.Hedshots (talk) 18:30, 24 March 2011 (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).

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

Request reason:

I'm not a sockpuppeteer. I created one additional account when I forgot my login and didn't have my computer with me. Nor do I have any affiliation or reason to gain for promoting to the website I was attempting to build a page for. I also work largely from coffee shop and am not responsible for others actions that operate there. I would love to be an active member of wikipedia and have done my best to learn and operate under it's guidelines. Hedshots (talk) 18:37, 24 March 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

There is very very strong behavioral and CheckUser evidence to support that you are in fact a sockpuppet, so denying that fact is only hurting your cause. If you actually address the reason for your block, then we can discuss possible unblock terms. Tiptoety ^talk 05:17, 27 March 2011 (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.

Just some advice. If you forget your login, you can ask for the password back with email. Also, if there is no email, just wait for 1 month or more, and then abandon the normal account so that the sockpuppetery case is stale that means they will wait for the normal account to edit to make sure. Than they will not block the account. If I was an admin, I would not unblock the accounts because that you should know about losing accounts. I am not an admin. ~~Awesome EBE123 ^talk_Contribs 21:54, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the tip. Good to know now! LOL :) Hedshots (talk) 22:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So we now have a number of editors, all trying to post the same article and all denying any contact with each other. So be it. At least you have taken my advice given to you on one of your other accounts, to return to an earlier account to seek unblock. I will leave it to another admin to decide.--Anthony Bradbury^"talk" 22:06, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think part of the problem is that The Script Lab does have a tens of thousands of twitter followers and a few of those followers started a campaign to keep the page up and running once I started it. After the page ran into problems, things got virally out of control. There was no real conversation between anyone as far as I knew. I don't know... hindsight. As far as "earlier accounts", I haven't been in the "IloveMcKay" account since the probs started. Not sure if you left a message there. Figured it was best to leave that one alone.

Never have a felt a community to be less inclusive. I'm not going to admit to something that I didn't do. I've owned up to my use of one additional user name, but it's intent was not nefarious. I work 90% of the time from a coffee shop, so brandishing a scarlet letter on me for IP abuse is unfair. I've also talked in the last few days to TSL fans in other countries that you have labeled my sockpuppets. There is no way they can be in any IP block that I would have used.Hedshots (talk) 22:22, 27 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
