Urgent Assistance Needed

Hello,

I am in need of urgent assistance regarding the deletion of my user page and the indefinite block on my account. I have been trying to resolve these issues through the usual channels but have encountered several obstacles.

      1. Background:

On 23:08, 1 June 2024, my user page was deleted by administrator Fastily, citing “misuse of Wikipedia as a web host” (U5). Subsequently, on 3 June 2024, my account was indefinitely blocked by the same administrator for allegedly being a promotion/advertising-only account.

      1. Issues Encountered:

- **Technical Issues with the UTRS System:** I have attempted to appeal through the Unblock Ticket Request System (UTRS), but the provided links return errors. For example, https://utrs-beta.wmflabs.org/public/appeal/view gives a "405 Method Not Allowed" error, preventing me from submitting an appeal. - **Misinterpretation of Content:** I modeled my content after the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" page to ensure it adhered to Wikipedia's standards. The deletion seems inconsistent when compared to similar content that remains accepted. - **Inconsistent Policy Application:** The block and deletion appear to be based on a misunderstanding. My content followed a format similar to accepted Wikipedia pages and aimed to provide factual information.

      1. Supporting Evidence and References:
      1. Communication Attempts:

- I have previously asked for help setting up a Wikipedia author page but received no response. My user page was then deleted, and my account was blocked following the addition of content modeled after a well-established Wikipedia template.

      1. Recent Technical Issue:

On Fri, Jun 7, 2024 at 10:59 AM, I received the following email: > "We're writing to let you know that the group you tried to contact (utrs-admins) may not exist, or you may not have permission to post messages to the group. A few more details on why you weren't able to post: [details from the email]"

This indicates that the appeal system is not functioning as expected, preventing me from resolving the issue through standard channels.

      1. Request for Assistance:

Could someone like @Qcne or @Mathglot please assist me with this matter? Your help would be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely, Martin Newbold

Request for Review of Account Block and Page Deletion

Background

Date of Page Deletion: 1 June 2024 Date of Account Block: 3 June 2024 Administrator Involved: Fastily Wikipedia Username: Martinnewbold

On 1 June 2024, my user page was deleted by the administrator Fastily under the reason of "misuse of Wikipedia as a web host" (U5). Following this, on 3 June 2024, my account was indefinitely blocked on grounds of being a promotion/advertising-only account.

Details of My Contributions

Recently, I created and edited an article about my book, using the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" page as a template. My goal was to follow a well-structured format and adhere to Wikipedia's standards, without engaging in promotional activities. The content was intended to be purely informational, detailing my book's specifics in a structured manner.

Concerns and Issues

  1. Technical Issues with the Appeal Process:
  - The Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Request System (UTRS) URLs for submitting and viewing appeals are returning errors. For example, the link [1] results in a "405 Method Not Allowed" error.
  - These issues have severely hindered my ability to appeal the block through standard channels.
  1. Misinterpretation of Content:
  - The content I added was modeled after the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" page to ensure it adhered to Wikipedia’s formatting guidelines.
  - My aim was not to promote but to align with accepted Wikipedia standards.
  1. Inconsistent Policy Application:
  - The block and deletion seem to stem from a misunderstanding. Using the same criteria as the Harry Potter page, my contributions should also be acceptable.
  - There appears to be an inconsistency in how rules are applied to content with similar formats.
  1. Adherence to Guidelines:
  - I have aimed to comply with Wikipedia’s notability and conflict of interest guidelines.
  - My intention has always been to contribute constructively to Wikipedia.

Request

Given the technical issues with the UTRS and the potential misinterpretation of my contributions, I request a thorough review of:

  • The block on my account.
  • The deletion of my user page.

I believe these actions were based on an incorrect assessment of my intentions and content. Additionally, I seek clarification on how using a standard template could be considered promotional and guidance on ensuring future compliance with Wikipedia’s standards.

Supporting Evidence and References

Previous Communication Attempts

I have previously sought help in creating these pages on Wikipedia:

We don't like promotion, and we don't like content generated by AI (which, at present, tends to be riddled with inaccuracies). Your book will earn an article when it has been written about by people who are not you or your agent or publisher. —Tamfang (talk) 19:40, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

== Request for Review of Account Block and Page Deletion Due to Technical Issues with the UTRS System ==
To the Legal Department of Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to address a significant issue concerning my Wikipedia user account and the deletion of my user page. My Wikipedia username is Martinnewbold.
'''Background:''' On 23:08, 1 June 2024, my user page was deleted by Wikipedia administrator Fastily, citing “misuse of Wikipedia as a web host” (U5).

'''Details of My Contributions:''' Recently, I created and edited an article about my book, using the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" page as a template. My intention was to ensure that my page adhered to Wikipedia's standards by following a well-established format, not to engage in any promotional or advertising activities.

'''Concerns:'''
  1. '''Technical Issues with the Appeal Process:''' I have attempted to use the Wikipedia Unblock Ticket Request System (UTRS) to appeal the block on my account. However, the URLs provided for submitting and viewing appeals are currently returning errors. For instance, the link https://utrs-beta.wmflabs.org/public/appeal/view results in a "405 Method Not Allowed" error. This has significantly impeded my ability to resolve the issue through the proper channels.
  2. '''Misinterpretation of Content:''' The content I contributed was modeled after the structure of the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" page. My aim was to align with Wikipedia’s formatting and content guidelines, not to advertise or promote my book. The inconsistency in the application of rules, where the original template is accepted but my content based on it is not, raises concerns.
  3. '''Inconsistent Policy Application:''' It appears that the block and deletion of my page may have been based on a misunderstanding. The Harry Potter page, which I used as a reference, is not considered promotional or advertising content. Therefore, I believe the same criteria should apply to my contributions, which followed a similar format.
  4. '''Adherence to Guidelines:''' I have strived to comply with Wikipedia’s guidelines on notability and conflict of interest. My intention has always been to contribute constructively to the Wikipedia community.
'''Request:''' Given the technical issues with the UTRS and the potential misinterpretation of my contributions, I request a thorough review of the block on my account and the deletion of my user page.

I also seek clarification on how using a standard Wikipedia template could be perceived as promotional or advertising content, and guidance on ensuring that my future contributions meet Wikipedia's standards.

Yes the Deletion Review Request was written by AI so was not human generated as neither the article was on Wikipedia which was captured from harry Potter page and same you have reported this an advertisement which was not required or could be consciously added by AI. If this was the same case it would apply to all Harry Potter pages which was used in its creation.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Martinnewbold

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 User:Martinnewbold, 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. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 23:03, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

You're going to need to get unblocked first. First off, you should delete all these sections after where your unblock request was denied; your talk page is only open during a block so that you can engage in discussion about topics related to your block and your possible return to editing. It is not open to discuss or propose edits to articles. If an admin sees this, it's very likely you'll be warned again or have your talk page access removed, which will make it harder to ever be unblocked.
Second, I can tell you right now this is not a convincing argument about retaining this book. The consensus on en.wikipedia is that Goodreads is not generally a reliable source for this purpose, and an author's official website or Facebook page is definitely not a reliable source. ISBN information only provides verification that the book exists, not its notability, and that's nowhere near enough. If you want to make an argument for your book after/if you are unblocked, you need to argue for it on the specific criteria WP:GNG or WP:NBOOK. In your statement, you made no specific mentions of the actual guidelines you say the article adheres to, and frankly, it reads like it was constructed by AI or from a form.
And yes, this is the very definition of promotion. Insisting that you be allowed to keep doing the thing you were blocked for is very unlikely to result in you being unblocked. CoffeeCrumbs (talk) 14:08, 5 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appeal Regarding Mentorship Arrangement

Dear [rsjaffe],

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to appeal a matter concerning my mentorship arrangement on Wikipedia.

As a new editor on Wikipedia, I was recently assigned a mentor named Garrett to assist me with editing. While I appreciate the support provided by the mentorship program, I have identified a concern regarding Garrett's lack of recent activity on Wikipedia.

Upon reviewing Garrett's profile, I noticed that they have not been online for a year, which raises concerns about their availability to fulfill their role as a mentor effectively. As a new editor, having an active and available mentor is crucial for receiving timely assistance and guidance in navigating the editing process.

I am concerned about the implications of having an inactive mentor, including delays in receiving help, challenges in understanding Wikipedia's policies and guidelines, and frustration for new editors like myself.

I respectfully request your assistance in resolving this issue. I believe it would be beneficial for me to be assigned a new mentor who is actively engaged in the Wikipedia community and available to provide guidance and support as needed.
