User talk:GeniusSports

July 2018[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username.

You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.

If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page.

You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text

{{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}

at the bottom of your talk page. Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names.

Thank you. ···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 16:33, 13 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This implies that you think your article is appropriate for Wikipedia. It does not appear to be so. In fact, you seem to be violating WP:COI, WP:PAID, and WP:PROMO. --Yamla (talk) 13:23, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Nihonjoe: Why is this user only soft blocked? They are obviously promoting the Genius Sports company and should be hard blocked for promotion. Vanjagenije (talk) 19:15, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Vanjagenije: Because they seemed to be trying to work within the system by creating in the Draft namespace. If they had created it in mainspace or as their user page, they would have been hard blocked.···日本穣 · 投稿 · Talk to Nihonjoe · Join WP Japan! 22:02, 17 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

We have a consensus (here) that users soft-blocked for username issues should not have to answer further questions as a prerequisite to unblocking after the username issue has been addressed. Thus, I unblocked this user. @GeniusSports: Please, read the links Yamla provided above and be sure to follow Wikipedia policies, otherwise you might be re-blocked.
