And also a Storyboard Artist on Feature Films.

Evidently you have come to me in the belief that I deleted your article. In fact, what I deleted was another article, about a completely different person called "Robert Castillo". Nevertheless, in the hope of helping you, I have had a look at the history of your article, and the following is what I concluded.

Unfortunately, it looks to me as though, like many people, you have probably come to Misplaced Pages in good faith, thinking that it would be a perfect place to have a page to tell the world about yourself, but without realising that for several reasons what you have in mind does not conform to Misplaced Pages standards. My advice is that you would be better off posting your page about yourself either on a social networking site or on a web hosting service: Misplaced Pages is neither of those. In the hope of helping you understand why I say that, I will list some of the issues involved.
#"... '''is''' a Notable ..."? Do you mean "... '''am''' a Notable ..."? If not, then your username is deceptive, and you need to change it.
#Neither of the links you provide goes anywhere towards showing that you/he satisfy/satisfies Misplaced Pages's ]. A glowingly promotional IMDb page does nothing whatever to show notability, as anyone with the remotest connection to the film industry can write themselves one of those. Nor does a page on a college's web site listing the career history of one of its student establish notability.
#You should not be writing an article about yourself. Misplaced Pages articles should be written by neutral, third party, editors.
#Prompted by this message, I looked at your editing history, and was led to your user page. It seems that it was originally created as an article, and moved to your user space because it was grossly unsuitable as an article. In fact, the editor who moved it was being remarkably generous, as it is equally unsuitable as a user page. The first thing that struck me was that it was clearly a piece of pure promotion. Misplaced Pages is not a medium for promotion, and any promotional page may be speedily deleted without notice. The second thing that struck me was that it is nothing whatever about work on the encyclopaedia, as a user page should be, and appears to constitute use of the Misplaced Pages servers as a free web host to hold a personal web page. That too, on its own, is sufficient grounds for speedy deletion. Looking further, I found that the page is a verbatim copy of http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1453591/bio?ref_=nm_ov_bth_nm meaning that there is copyright infringement, which again would on its own be sufficient grounds for speedy deletion. With three separate reasons, any one of which would be grounds for speedy deletion, I'm afraid the page really must be deleted.

It was apparently about a local, largely amateur, youth sports team, with no indication whatever that it is any more significant than most such teams.

Hello JamesBWatson. You recently deleted the page ] as unambiguous copyright infringement. ] just alerted me to the fact that it's been recreated, with much of the same content (including the infringing material), only this time split across three articles: ], ], and ]. The only substantial contributors to these new articles are the new users ] and ]. This seems rather suspicious. For one thing, the similarity in user names leads me to supect that the two accounts are operated by the same individual. For another, the fact that they reposted much of the exact text of the deleted page leads me to suspect that this person is the same person who contributed it to the original incarnation of ]. (It may be one of the users who was persistently removing the copyvio template from the original article, and/or even ], whose ] was the reason the page was discovered to be a copyvio.) However, as I'm not an administrator I don't have access to the deleted page history to see if it supports these suspicions. Perhaps you could have a look? If not, do you think this would be worth filing an ] for someone else to investigate? In the meantime I've blanked the pages with the {{tl|copyvio}} template, and will let ] know about this post, since they opened the CCI. —] (]) 21:20, 17 May 2014 (UTC)

:The article was nothing but an advertisement, which has no place whatever on Misplaced Pages. In the unlikely event that there exists evidence that the subject satisfies Misplaced Pages's notability criteria, perhaps someone can write a good, balanced, non-promotional article about it, but that article will have nothing in common with the blatant spam that you posted, and restoring the deleted content would do nothing whatever to benefit the encyclopaedia. <small>''The editor who uses the pseudonym''</small> "]" (]) 07:36, 22 May 2014 (UTC)

Disruptive Pakistani IP apparently hopped ranges

175.107.216.70 is exhibiting the same behavior.   –Skywatcher68 (talk) 16:49, 14 December 2024 (UTC)

@Skywatcher68: This is one of those really kind and helpful block-evading editors, who do their best to make what they are doing as blindingly obvious as they can, by various clever little tricks such as making every one of their edits on pages previously edited by the blocked editor (apart from one talk page edit back in July).

Expired rangeblock needs renewal

Our uncommunicative friend at Special:Contributions/2600:8801:7180:7B00:0:0:0:0/64 has begun his disruption again after a year-long block expired. Binksternet (talk) 01:22, 20 December 2024 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, Binksternet. I've blocked again for three years. I've also included in the block rationale a link to a talk page where I've posted a fairly long message about the background to the block. As you no doubt know, it can be very difficult to be sure that an editor using IPv6 addresses sees talk page messages, and while it's certain that this editor has seen at least the block rationales, it is possible that they have seen few, or even none, of the talk page messages.
I've already thanked you for alerting me to this, and told you that I have acted on what you said. Nevertheless, I should like to mention that I don't like the way that you posted a series of templated warning messages at escalating levels on the latest talk page, without any further edits between those messages. I don't know what your reason for doing that was, but it doesn't seem constructive. I also don't see it as at all necessary; for an editor with such an extensive history of warnings and blocks it seems pointless to do anything less than tell them right away that they are likely to be blocked again immediately.
