User talk:IntangibleAssetEnthusiast

Welcome!

Hello, StobbsOBE, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:StobbsOBE, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:StobbsOBE

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:StobbsOBE, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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 deleted 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.

Hello, StobbsOBE. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page User:StobbsOBE has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources and Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat, as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. UtherSRG (talk) 15:52, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

June 2023

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, club, organization, company, or website, I have blocked this account from editing. You are welcome to continue editing after you have chosen a new username that complies with Wikipedia's username policy.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable, regardless of the username that you choose. Additionally, if your contributions to Wikipedia form all or part of work for which you are, or expect to be, paid or compensated in any way, you must disclose who is paying you to edit here.

Please take a moment to either create a new account, or request a username change of your current account here. The new username that you choose must represent you as an individual person, and it must comply with Wikipedia's username policy.

To create a new account with a different username, simply log out of this account and then click here to make a new one.
If you prefer to change the username on this account, you may do so by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken or in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

Please also note that you are permitted to use a username that contains the name of a company or organization if it also identifies you individually, such as "Sara Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87", but not "SEO Manager at XYZ Company".

Appeals: If your username does not represent a group, organization, website, or other entity described above, and if you believe that this block was incorrect or made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}.

Thank you. UtherSRG (talk) 15:53, 22 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Please unblock my account

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).

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

Request reason:

I have been conversing with Equinox who blocked my account but he's stopped responding to my messages since 3 August: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/User_talk:StobbsOBE I tried changing my account name to resolve the issue highlighted by UtherSRG but was told that although on enwiki the name change would solve my issues, on en.wiktionary it would not as my block goes beyond just my username. So without a reply from Equinox, my account remains blocked and I am unable to do anything to change its status.

I am genuinely trying to improve the accuracy of the pages for the benefit of the users, within the terms of the project and I am happy to disclose a COI and make it clear that I am a paid editor by using [connected contributor (paid)] now that I am aware of this requirement. StobbsOBE (talk) 14:54, 5 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

What new username do you want? If you let us know, we can change it. PhilKnight

@PhilKnight - Thank you. Would the new user name OBEatStobbs work? I believe that follows the format requirements but let me know if not.

(talk) 16:33, 5 September 2023 (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.

My account is on the list of active blocks, for the reason: Promotional username, soft block, but as explained above, when I tried to change the user name, it wouldn't let me

Thanks @PhilKnight - Would the new user name OBEatStobbs work? @PhilKnight Or please suggest a format that works that i can follow so i can comply?

{{unblock-auto}}

No, you need something new, not a variation of your current username. See WP:USERNAME. PhilKnight (talk) 17:20, 26 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

PhilKnight - please can you change my username to IAManager? Many thanks

Sorry, no, I am not comfortable with that username as it is too close to a role account. Also, I am not going to make edits on your behalf. PhilKnight (talk) 14:41, 4 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, would "IntangibleAssetEnthusiast" work as a new user name? many thanks StobbsOBE (talk) 11:07, 17 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

UPE

The WMF's terms of use still require you to declare your paid conflict of interest as described at WP:PAID. Other WMF projects where you are active may have alternate disclosure requirements. You should avoid editing related articles directly and request that edits are made on your behalf using the edit request wizard. Cabayi (talk) 12:58, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for informing me about this and how to do it. I have made the COI declaration as suggested and will request the edit IntangibleAssetEnthusiast (talk) 16:51, 9 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Quarter Pounder

Hello! Just letting you know I replied to your message on the Quarter Pounder talk page. It looks as if the discussion on this topic somehow got split into two separate threads, so to keep it simple, I've replied only in one of them. FYI. Thank you! Regards, Spintendo 22:10, 15 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I'm just following up on my reply to you of 12 January on the Quarter Pounder talk page to see if you have had chance to consider it yet? I look forward to hearing from you. Many thanks IntangibleAssetEnthusiast (talk) 15:32, 25 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Spintendo I haven't heard back from you since 12 January. Please can you review my response on the Quarter Pounder talk page and revert this week? Thanks so much IntangibleAssetEnthusiast (talk) 15:24, 5 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Spintendo Please can you reply to my message of 12 January? Many thanks IntangibleAssetEnthusiast (talk) 10:19, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
