User talk:Aclassicinfusion

June 2018

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. When you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion (but never when editing articles), such as at User talk: Diannaa, please be sure to sign your posts. There are two ways to do this. Either:

Add four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment, or
With the cursor positioned at the end of your comment, click on the signature button located above the edit window.

This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is necessary to allow other editors to easily see who wrote what and when.

Thank you. General Ization ^Talk 02:55, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Singapore Sling

Per wp:verifiability, significant content needs to wp:cite a wp:reliable source. Please do not remove citations without giving an acceptable reason in the wp:edit summary. Thank you Jim1138 (talk) 03:02, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Blocked for sockpuppetry

This account has been blocked indefinitely as a sock puppet of Classyinfusion (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · page moves · block user · logs · block log · arb · rfc · lta · SPI · cuwiki) that was created to violate Wikipedia policy. Note that using multiple accounts is allowed, but using them for illegitimate reasons is not, and that all edits made while evading a block or ban may be reverted or deleted. If this account is not a sock puppet, 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. Mz7 (talk) 06:47, 27 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked for a few reasons. Firstly, it is considered a violation of Wikipedia policy to use multiple accounts to edit the same article without declaring that the accounts are related to each other. This is because the community sometimes needs to examine your editing history, and when you use multiple accounts, your editing history is split. In this case, your edits have also been problematic because they have copied content from another website. You were warned that this was against policy multiple times on your old talk page at User talk:Classyinfusion, yet you persisted.
If you can explain why you edits were problematic and give us a plan for how you will improve your edits moving forward, I may be open to unblocking you. Mz7 (talk) 06:55, 27 June 2018 (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).

Request reason:

I am from Raffles Hotel Singapore and am the source of the information. I am editing the information on the singapore sling page using the information from RHS's website, but i made the mistake of creating an account using my personal information to edit info on wikipedia. In any case, the sources have been cited as belonging to RHS! I will create a new account with the username Raffles Hotel Singapore to show that i am the official source of information. My personal account can be blocked but please unblock my IP address to allow me to create an official legitimate account. Thanks. Aclassicinfusion (talk) 09:30, 29 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That is precisely what you should not do. We want users to have accounts that represents themselves as individuals and not company-named "official" accounts, please see the username policy. You haven't really addressed the reasons for the block in this request, so I am declining it. Please review the links Mz7 posted above, as well as WP:COI and WP:PAID, before making another unblock request. 331dot (talk) 09:45, 29 June 2018 (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 user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Request reason:

My apologies as it is the first time i am using wikipedia and was unaware of the guidelines. I have read the reasons as explained by Mz7 and understand the proper way to use wikipedia now. Moving forward, i will definitely only use one account so that other users can verify my content with clarity, and that the content has not been taken from another website - i will always write the articles in myown words and cite the sources of the article. The only account i create will be for my personal use and not my organisation. Previously I was not familiar with the interface of wikipedia as such i did not manage to see the reasons on my old talk page at User talk:Classyinfusion, in fact i was wondering why i was blocked..but now that i know and understand i have the rules and will abide by the rules of wikipedia and be an educated and good community user. Thank you. Aclassicinfusion (talk) 08:47, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Accept reason:

I am accepting this unblock request because I believe you have adequately addressed the concerns of using multiple accounts and copyright violations. However, I am accepting this with a very strong warning that you have a conflict of interest with respect to Singapore Sling and Raffles Hotel. I strongly recommend that you avoid editing these articles. If you must correct mistakes in them, you should consider proposing your changes on the article talk page or at the conflict of interest noticeboard first, rather than making the changes yourself. For example, I claim that there is a very marginal difference between the terms "refurbishment" and "restoration", and the phrase "as of" is a way of avoiding words like "currently".

I'm sure that you have no intention of promoting your organization, but unfortunately, due to your conflict of interest, you may inadvertently do that instead. For example, the word "iconic" does impart any encyclopedic information beyond promoting the subject, so it should be avoided. Please edit carefully, as your edits become disruptive, you may be blocked again to prevent damage to the encyclopedia. Mz7 (talk) 02:23, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aclassicinfusion. I am willing to lift this block based on your statement, but first, can you confirm that you have read the page Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and understand it? Do you intend to continue editing articles for which you have a conflict of interest (COI), like Singapore Sling? We do not recommend it, and if you absolutely must edit those pages, you should propose changes on talk pages like Talk:Singapore Sling by using the {{request edit}} template, or by posting a note at the COI noticeboard, so that they can be peer reviewed.

The reason we have these strict guidelines is because editors with a conflict of interest in a topic area often unintentionally edit against some of our core content policies through no fault of their own. For example, you might unconsciously over-embellish your company, or perhaps omit verifiable facts that may be negative or controversial—this would violate our neutral point of view policy. Alternatively, you might inadvertently add details that haven't been published in reliable sources—a violation of verifiability and no original research. If you violate these policies persistently, I'm afraid you may be blocked again. Mz7 (talk) 08:06, 3 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mz7, thank you for your patience in explaining the wikipedia guidelines. I have read and understood the Wikipedia:Conflict of interest page. My intention is not to post marketing or hotel information to promote the hotel. We intend to highlight if there is any inaccuracies in the content. For example, it was stated that "As of May 2018, the Raffles Hotel has closed for refurbishment." However, this is incorrect, as our hotel is undergoing a restoration, and we did not close in the month of May. According to our global press release, "Since February 2017, the iconic heritage hotel has embarked on a careful and sensitive phased restoration." and also "Phase Three of the restoration will commence on 13 December 2017, when the hotel will be fully closed." I believe that we can agree that such information inaccuracies should be corrected, in our own words of course and also properly cited. All in all, i will definitely post neutral information for the betterment of the Wikipedia community. Thank you. Aclassicinfusion (talk)Mz7(UTC)

I've removed the second unblock template as you only need one {{unblock}} template active at a time. I will review this shortly. Mz7 (talk) 02:12, 10 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
