November 2011

Hello! I'm a bot created by another Wikipedia editor. I wanted to let you know that I removed a link that you recently added to the page Rhys Jewkes here. I did this because http://www.youtube.com/TheResistantFilms is probably inappropriate for an encyclopedia. We generally try to avoid linking to external audio or video.

We appreciate your help in making Wikipedia better for everyone. If I made a mistake, feel free to undo my edit. If you have any questions, you can ask at the Help desk.

Thank you! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:26, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Rhys Jewkes

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Rhys Jewkes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the importance of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Majora4 (talk) 22:56, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome! I'm a bot created by another Wikipedia editor. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more of the external links you added to the page Rhys Jewkes, because they did not seem to meet our definition of appropriate links. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before adding it again.
I did this because https://twitter.com/#!/JewkesRhys is probably inappropriate for an encyclopedia. We usually avoid linking to blogs, forums, and social media sites.

Proposed deletion of Dead by Dawn (YouTube Movie)

Hello, Ostreicher, and thanks for your contributions to Wikipedia!

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Your recent edits to Talk:Dead by Dawn (YouTube Movie) could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. Guerillero | My Talk 03:04, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for making legal threats. Per policy, you may not simultaneously edit Wikipedia while threatening legal action. You are, of course, welcome to file a lawsuit, but cannot edit at the same time. Any admin may unblock you so long as you are willing to retract your legal threats here on this talk page. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Qwyrxian (talk) 03:12, 1 December 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).

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

Request reason:

I will agree not to file a lawsuit. But you have to agree to stop deleting every damn article i post. I am an actor and want to express this with the article about me and the article about our movie. Rhys Jewkes 04:12, 1 December 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

We don't get to write about ourselves on Wikipedia. Period. --jpgordon^{::==( o )} 04:24, 1 December 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.

Sorry, but that kind of response is unlikely to have the result you desire. This is an online encyclopaedia, not a free webhosting service, and we have policies and standards regarding article content. Most significantly, we have notability requirements, which need to be met before we can include material. Articles also need to be sourced from independent reliable sources, and be written from a neutral point of view. Lastly, writing about yourself or your creations is greatly discouraged, under our conflict of interest guidelines. I suggest you read our policies, and then ask yourself whether your works are likely to merit an article on Wikipedia. If they do, you might do best to leave it to others to do this in any case. You should also note that (with certain exceptions), all articles are open to anyone to edit - which means that an article about yourself may not always be in your best interest, if properly-sourced negative material becomes available - having a biography on Wikipedia isn't always advantageous.

Now I understand why this place is so fucking shit. Because the Admins are fucking retards. Here is Danielle Harris's wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danielle_Harris she is a friend of mine. On there people have wrote more about her then I did about myself. Yet you guys have the guts to delete my shit and not other peoples. I had hardly nothing wrote on my page. All i had on my page was My name, DOB, Look at my movie dead by dawn and a list of upcoming movies.

Firstly, I'm not an admin (or a retard). And secondly, if this place is 'fucking shit', why are you wasting your time trying to get your material into it? I suggest you concentrate on your acting career, and employ an agent to look after your PR - you seem to lack the necessary skills for the latter at least... AndyTheGrump (talk) 05:16, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

On there people have wrote more about her then I did about myself. - the key word being "people". Wikipedia is not a place to establish your autobiography, curriculum vitae, or resume. If you are notable, people will write about you. - The Bushranger _{One ping only} 05:53, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Withdrawing your talk page access

You cannot misuse discussion forums to demean editors here on Wikipedia. From fucking retards to pricks, you've traversed quite some distance in your verbosity. I have withdrawn your editing powers on this talk page. You may still appeal this block by emailing unblock-en-llists.wikimedia.org or contacting the ban appeals subcommittee. In case you require assistance in emailing the functionaries, you can directly email me too. Thanks. Wifione ^Message 07:23, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

So, let me see if I have this right: a new user comes around to edit in good faith, and gets frustrated when his work is deleted. He's blocked for legal threats, and then we refuse to unblock him when he retracts the legal threat. He understandably responds with profanity, and we take away his talk page access? Brilliant work guys, you solved the case of the angry newcomer. A pay raise and a banana sticker for all involved. Swarm ^X 20:15, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Where does he retract the legal threat? He states that the withdrawal is conditional on him being allowed to restore his articles. In any case, even if he had, he seems utterly incapable of understanding how Wikipedia works, and is only here to promote himself. AndyTheGrump (talk) 20:21, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough point that the retraction wasn't acceptable, but rather than explaining that to them, the unblock request is declined because, "We don't get to write about ourselves on Wikipedia. Period." That, for one, wasn't helpful in the least (and is in contrast to our very carefully worded COI guideline). Secondly, looking through this user's contribs, I see nothing to suggest that this was anything other than a new user editing in good faith, and I'll remind you that their articles were deleted under A7, not because they were promotional. Thirdly, you stopped being helpful after your first comment here: snide, condescending remarks such as, "I suggest you concentrate on your acting career, and employ an agent to look after your PR - you seem to lack the necessary skills for the latter at least" (and for that matter, "why Swarm is commenting here, I've no idea") are rarely if ever going to be anything but completely counterproductive. Swarm ^X 20:46, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It wasn't me that wrote "We don't get to write about ourselves on Wikipedia. Period". And why are you commenting here? If you think this wasn't handled properly, wouldn't it be better to bring it up where people are more likely to respond? As for 'snide, condescending remarks', you seem to have made your own... AndyTheGrump (talk) 21:02, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As AndyTheGrump suggests, it may be more helpful to address this at ANI, where there is already a thread: WP:ANI#Threat of legal action. Qwyrxian (talk) 23:32, 1 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wow— really? Swarm ^X 00:40, 2 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
