Thank you JamieBuba, it is my first time using Wikipedia and tried my best to follow guidelines. I am trying to write an autobiography for myself, which i have indicated and noted COI, and have referenced multiple external sources (not my work) that validate my history. \
I do notice that i wrote to promotional/one-sided, and want ot re-edit the Wiki to change tone.
However, i cant locate the original code which took me forever to write! can you please send to me and i will work on improving it based on your recommendations
than kyai so much for speedy review. Nikodank (talk) 15:57, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you have any other questions about your editing experience, we'd love to help you at the Teahouse, a friendly space on Wikipedia where experienced editors lend a hand to help new editors like yourself!

Hi jamiebuba

Did you see my reply above? Nikodank (talk) 00:20, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

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 Draft:Nicholas Sosiak, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.

Thank you Jamiebuba for speedy deletion as i dont want ot break any rules. If i can please retrieve code and i will fundamentally rework wiki to avoid any unambiguous promotion Nikodank (talk) 15:59, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi jamiebuba did you see my reply ? Nikodank (talk) 00:21, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, Nikodank, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I noticed that one of the first articles you created or edited was Draft:Nicholas Sosiak, which appears to be an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. We require individuals to meet Wikipedia's definition of a notable person to accept articles about them.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page. If your contributions to an existing article about yourself are undone and you wish to add to it, please propose the changes on its talk page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{help me}} before the question. Again, welcome!

Information icon Hello, Nikodank. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Draft:Nicholas Sosiak, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. – Athaenara 07:53, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Athaenara,
thank you it is my first time using Wikipedia and tried my best to follow guidelines but clearly missed promotion/external link guidelines . I am trying to write an autobiography for myself, and i believe i am eligible as i have many external links to public articles on myself from Financial Post, MMJ Daily, MJBiz, Reporters, etc, all included in the wiki., i believe i have noted COI on my userpage but what believe i failed on is in being too promotional and having external links. I would like to fundamentally rework my wiki page to get it approved as i worked hard on it and really trying to get this page and contribute to wiki as a whole.
Would it be possible to send me the code used for the page and i will fundamentally rework the following
-Reword any promotional phrases on wiki to more neutral tone.
-Remove external links to company and brand page
-Include COI in user page
-Let me know if i need to do COI on the main nicholas sosiak page.
-Let me know if there is an issue creating wiki for Niko Dank and linking it to Nicholas Sosiak
Thank you so much for your Feedback Athaenara and look forward to working with you to get this wikipage
thank you and wish you a great day Nikodank (talk) 16:07, 10 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

hi did you see my reply could you please help Nikodank (talk) 00:22, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Daniel Case (talk) 06:25, 14 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

thank you, my apologies for not clarifying properly. I have taken the time to read the guide on appealing blocks and the previous admins original block request . it is my first time using Wikipedia, and endeavour to improve and follow closely the guidelines .I would like to contribute to Wikipedia in addition to writing an autobiography for myself. I understand Wikipedia asks users to refrain from this unless person has notoriety. I strongly feel i am eligible as i have many second and third party articles, news releases and podcasts on myself with all links to public articles such as Financial Post, MMJ Daily, MJBiz, Reporters, etc, i have noted COI on my userpage as per wiki guidelines for autobiography but what believe i failed on is in being too promotional, non neutral pov and having external links to my website . I would like to fundamentally rework my wiki page to get it approved as i worked hard on it and really trying to get this page and contribute to wiki as a whole. i will fundamentally rework the following -Reword and change tone on wiki to more neutral tone avoiding any promotion -Remove external links to company and brand page -if possible, could the code be sent of my deleted page to re work ? Thank youNikodank (talk) 06:08, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It's called notability, not "notoriety"(which has more of a negative connotation). Since you mainly seem interested in writing about yourself, there are no grounds to remove the block at this time. News releases and interviews with you do not establish notability, it would only waste your time and that of the reviewers to allow you to submit a draft at this time, before you have built up an edit history in other areas first. You may later be permitted to submit a draft about yourself, but not now, so we will need to know what topics you might edit about instead. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 07:00, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Thank you I understand, I would really like to contribute my knowledge to the Cannabis wiki, I can work on many edits on Wiki related to cannabis including various cannabis derivatives, terpenes, thc/CBD and entourage effect, genetic history and lineages, land races, cannabis industry in Canada. I have PhD on staff that provide a lot of research information that we discover and can share with wiki such as pest management in cannabis, tissue culture, vpd effect on cannabis, etc. I will work on making useful contributions to the cannabis related wiki’s before working on any biography of mine . Thank you for your consideration, I truly want to contribute to wiki as it has been a great research tool throughout my life. Nikodank (talk) 16:49, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

No. You have a clear conflict of interest in that subject area. Yamla (talk) 18:29, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Thank you for quick reply, if I have knowledge and experience on the cannabis subject matter, could I not qualify as a valid wiki contributor ??? If the autobiography is the issue, I will refrain from posting , please do let me know how to proceed or am I forever banned and cannot contribute ? Nikodank (talk) 19:00, 17 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

Please read Wikipedia:Autobiography, Wikipedia:Conflict of interest, and Wikipedia:User pages. Once you've done that, make a new unblock request that demonstrates your understanding of them. You don't have to know everything about Wikipedia just to be unblocked. Just show us that you're willing to read our rules, and you understand them. Once you do that, you'll likely be unblocked.

Unblock discussion

[edit]

I think cannabis is a hard "no" based on conflict of interest. Personal knowledge is not particularly relevant in encyclopedia writing (those days are gone forever). "All content must be cited from reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and have a reputation for fact checking." So, there are ~6,000,000 articles on Wikipedia. If you wish to help build the encyclopedia, perhaps you can edit elsewhere. Wikipedia:Community portal has a list of things that need to be done.

I totally understand and will work first on contributing to areas you mentionned above
could you kindly unblock my account so I may provide contributions
thank you Nikodank (talk) 18:50, 26 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Could you describe what constructive, non cannabis-related edits you'd make? -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 20:10, 12 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
