Your submission at Articles for creation: Eventflare (August 11)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Sungodtemple was:

This draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article. In summary, the draft needs multiple published sources that are:

in-depth (not just brief mentions about the subject or routine announcements)
reliable
secondary
strictly independent of the subject

Make sure you add references that meet all four of these criteria before resubmitting. Learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

The comment the reviewer left was:

I can't read source number 4, but it is not reliable as a medium article. The other ones are not independent.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Eventflare and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Hello, Eventflare! Having an article draft declined at Articles for Creation can be disappointing.

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia. Also, your username gives the impression that the account represents a business, organisation, group, website, or role, which is against the username policy.

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must follow all these steps:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked; and
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
Provide a new username.

To do this, insert the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can search to see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is still available.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:03, 11 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I understand the reason why I've been blocked and I wish to stop my account altogether as I am not interested to keep using it. What I was doing was an experiment requested by someone else and it is no longer so. Can we please reactivate this account or close completely? Eventflare (talk) 09:00, 5 September 2025 (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 understand that my account was blocked after I attempted to create a draft article about a company (Eventflare). I now realise the draft did not fully comply with Wikipedia’s notability and sourcing guidelines, and that my attempt to start a new account from the same IP made it look like I was evading a block. I see how this is disruptive.

I will not attempt to create new accounts to bypass restrictions again. Instead, I would like to use this account properly to learn Wikipedia’s editing standards and contribute constructively to other topics. I would also like the opportunity to improve my draft in my sandbox with reliable, independent sources before resubmitting. Thank you for considering my request.

Decline reason:

You haven't proposed a new username, or told what topics you might edit about, now that you know that, in the short term, you will not be permitted to edit about Eventflare. We will first want to see a good edit history from you that shows you understand relevant policies. You should also see WP:COI and WP:PAID. 331dot (talk) 08:22, 5 September 2025 (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 request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

Requested username:

MedusaSays (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I understand that my account was blocked because my previous username made it appear that I was editing on behalf of a company, and because my edits gave the impression of promotion. I now realise that Wikipedia is not the place for advertising or company representation.

I would like to continue on Wikipedia under the new username “MedusaSays”. I will not make edits related to Eventflare or any other topic where there might be a conflict of interest. Instead, I plan to focus on editing and improving articles on Greek and Roman mythology, where I can make neutral and constructive contributions.

Thank you for considering my request.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Eventflare (talk • contribs) 12:50 am, 7 September 2025, Sunday (20 days ago) (UTC−4)

Accept reason:

I find this request compelling and am willing to unblock at this time. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 18:25, 26 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have renamed your account. Another uninvolved admin will review your unblock request. PhilKnight (talk) 15:09, 23 September 2025 (UTC)[reply]
