Proposed deletion of Louise Drew

The article Louise Drew has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one.

Disambiguation link notification for April 5

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Alice Mann, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Plainfield. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

It's OK to remove this message. Also, to stop receiving these messages, follow these opt-out instructions. Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 10:57, 5 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

incapsula.com references

Hi! The references you're adding in your recent edits look like WP:REFSPAM. Pages selling you their services are the among the worst to use as sources, please stop. See WP:RS and WP:PSTS. -- intgr [talk] 07:46, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

And sorry to be so blunt and call it spam. During my time monitoring Wikipedia changes, I've seen so many instances of "SEO" companies spamming themselves all over Wikipedia that I've lost my patience. :)

Your edits are appreciated; no doubt it will take time for all the guidelines and policies to sink in and start making sense. Meanwhile be bold and don't worry too much. -- intgr [talk] 11:14, 24 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Affiliations

Hi! Two questions:

Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use require disclosing affiliations that you have with the subjects you write about, adding links to. Are you in any way affiliated with, or receiving benefits from, Imperva or Incapsula, related companies/persons or other subjects you have written about/linked to on Wikipedia?
Do you know who user Aggiechrist or Geeksquad12 is? Operating multiple Wikipedia accounts goes against Wikipedia's policy of sock puppetry. Similarly editing on someone else's behalf without disclosure is disallowed (WP:MEAT, WP:PAID).

If you disclose your contacts/affiliations voluntarily then there is no need repercussions. -- intgr [talk] 07:41, 12 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing for sock puppetry per evidence presented at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Mgstaggers. Note that multiple accounts are allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that any contributions made while evading blocks or bans may be reverted or deleted. If you believe that this block was in error, and you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here ~~~~}} below. Bbb23 (talk) 15:35, 16 June 2017 (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).

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

Request reason:

I have read the Wikipedia guidelines on sockpuppetry and understand how I violated the guidlines. I was asked to make changes to existing articles without realizing the consequences of my actions. I now clearly understand my violations and pledge not to violate Wikipedia's policies on sock puppetry again. Mgstaggers (talk) 23:36, 21 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

It's not just your violations of WP:SOCK. The sockpuppet investigation notes your totally inappropriate spamming as well, and you have not addressed this in your unblock request. But back to your violations of WP:SOCK. This wasn't an accident. You were warned about your behaviour and chose to set up another account to evade scrutiny. This isn't a case of you not knowing. You knew and attempted to mislead us. Such behaviour is incompatible with being an editor at Wikipedia. Yamla (talk) 00:40, 22 June 2017 (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.

This blocked user is asking that their block be reviewed on the Unblock Ticket Request System:

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

UTRS appeal #20395 was submitted on Jan 21, 2018 03:36:43. This review is now closed.

--UTRSBot (talk) 03:36, 21 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

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

Request reason:

I'm mgstaggers and I respectfully request that my editing privileges be unblocked.

My account has been blocked for over 7 months and I very much miss making productive contributions to the Wikipedia database. I hope that Wikipedia administrators will take me at my word when I say that that the block on my account is no longer necessary. I completely understand the reasons for the block on my account and pledge my total and heartfelt assurance that I will not violate any Wikipedia standards relating to sock puppetry, spamming or any other user account abuse. I recognize that administrators strive to maintain the integrity of the database and go to great lengths to avert any damage or disruption of individual entries.

I have learned and appreciated the fact that my conduct was inappropriate and the ban on my account was totally justified in order to protect Wikipedia from disruptive behavior. It is my fervent wish that the administrators accept my assurance that my conduct issues have now been resolved and I will comply with all community norms.

Thank you for considering my appeal; I earnestly hope the administrators acknowledge and duly consider the sincerity of my remorse. I look forward to once again becoming a productive and creditable member of the Wikipedia community as I await your decision.

Accept reason:

Per bellow (see also [1]). Vanjagenije (talk) 20:12, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Checkuser needed. It looks to me like this editor really understands the reason for block and intends not to repeat the behavior the led to it. If there was no (new) sockpuppetry since being blocked, I think we can give them the WP:Standard offer. Since this is a CU block, I need a Checkuser approval. Vanjagenije (talk) 15:45, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: CU shows no evidence of socking in the last 90 days. Katie^talk 18:08, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@KrakatoaKatie and Bbb23: Am I allowed to unblock? Vanjagenije (talk) 18:59, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Per WP:OFFER, now you take it to AN for community discussion. Copy/paste his statement. Katie^talk 19:06, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Done here: Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Standard_offer_for_User:Mgstaggers. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:35, 22 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Mgstaggers: Although the community supports unblocking (Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#Standard_offer_for_User:Mgstaggers), two issues in your edits were identified. First is spamming and the second is sockpuppetry. Do you agree to be unblock under those two conditions: (1) never to use any other account but this one, and (2) never to add any spam links again? @Bbb23: Do you agree with unblocking under those conditions? Vanjagenije (talk) 22:20, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: Based on the consensus at AN, sure.--Bbb23 (talk) 22:35, 24 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I am Mgstaggers and I agree to (1) never to use any other account but this one, and (2) never to add any spam links again. Thank you for reviewing my case and offering another opportunity to be a productive member of the Wikipedia community.Mgstaggers (talk) 01:31, 26 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
