User talk:Andrewstroth

Hello, Andrewstroth. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the COI guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:

avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, company, organization or competitors;
propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
disclose your COI when discussing affected articles (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.Paisarepa (talk) 00:18, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm currently trying to add legitimate backlink pages and more information to Stroth's page. The current page does not have much information and we need to get this added.

We are a group of people that recognize stroth as a civil rights attorney for the work we have seen him do on TV. We are currently adding more citations that are extensive in length and legitimate. We do not understand why everything was taken down before checking the legitimacy of the sources we inserted which are good. The entire page ( Andrew Stroth ) needs an overhaul. How can we do this?

Hi Andrewstroth, the page WP:BLP will give you a lot of useful information about what is and is not appropriate to include in an article about a living person. Articles should not appear to be a resume (so a list of accomplishments with detail is probably not appropriate for this subject). A good resource is the links in the banner at the top of the page. There are several issues with the page, and each issue listed includes a link that explains that issue and how to fix/avoid it. Finally, please refer to the conflict of interest page I posted earlier. It is suspicious that a user with a username that matches the name of the subject of this article is creating most of the content. Hopefully this answers your questions; if not, please let me know on my talk page. Thanks! Paisarepa (talk) 01:20, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

July 2019[edit]

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Andrewstroth, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You may choose to edit under a new username (see information below), but keep in mind that you are welcome to continue to edit under this username. If you choose to do so, we ask the following:

Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
Please send an email to info-enwikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles email is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).

A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:

Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "Email this user" on their talk page.
At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
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. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this notice, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Huon (talk) 01:25, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

You must also be aware that Wikipedia accounts can never be shared between a group of people. An account must be accessed by only one individual - the same individual - for the account's entire lifetime. Each person in this group will have to create and operate their own individual accounts. That is because every edit by a Wikipedia account must be attributable to the same specific individual. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:57, 13 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
