User talk:NeutralGameEditor

April 2025

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, or website, 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. Cabayi (talk) 08:12, 23 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

Hello. I recently tried to contribute to Wikipedia by adding information about a game called *RF Online Next*. However, my edits were considered promotional, and my account was subsequently blocked. I now understand that Wikipedia is a neutral encyclopedia and that maintaining a neutral point of view (NPOV) is essential. My intention was simply to introduce the game, but I acknowledge that my wording may have come across as promotional. I will take greater care in the future to follow Wikipedia's guidelines, avoid advertising language, and contribute in a neutral and encyclopedic manner. I respectfully request that my account be unblocked, and I assure you that I will avoid such issues going forward. Thank you. Rfonlinemania (talk) 07:39, 28 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

What is your connection to the game? I am glad you seem to have read WP:NPOV, however I suggest you also read WP:V and WP:N. Your username could be considered promotional, although it is borderline. My advice is that you change it. PhilKnight (talk) 16:05, 28 May 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.

Request reason:

Hello. I understand that my previous username and edits were seen as promotional, which was not my intention. I created my account to contribute information about the game *RF Online Next*, but I now realize that my username and writing style may have violated Wikipedia's username and content guidelines. I apologize for any disruption caused. I would like to request an unblock with a new username, "NeutralGameEditor", and I assure you that I will strictly follow Wikipedia’s guidelines, especially regarding neutrality and avoiding promotional content. Thank you. Rfonlinemania (talk) 03:09, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

That would be fine as a new username, but you did not answer PhilKnight's question. 331dot (talk) 10:31, 29 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Response to PhilKnight

Thank you for your response, PhilKnight.

To answer your question: I am not affiliated with the developers or publishers of RF Online Next in any official capacity. I am simply a fan of the game and wanted to contribute general information about it to Wikipedia. However, I now understand that my username and the tone of my edits may have unintentionally violated Wikipedia’s guidelines.

I appreciate your suggestion and have requested a username change to "NeutralGameEditor". I have also read WP:NPOV, and following your advice, I have reviewed WP:V and WP:N to better understand what qualifies as verifiable and notable content on Wikipedia.

Going forward, I will ensure that any contributions I make are neutral, properly sourced, and meet Wikipedia’s notability standards.

Thank you for your time and guidance. Rfonlinemania (talk) 05:08, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there! Thank you for your updated request. Now that you've read the pages recommended, are you still interested in creating the RF Online NEXT article? If so, can you provide three reliable, independent sources with significant coverage of the game? If not, can you tell me what you'd like to edit about if unblocked? Thank you! Significa liberdade (she/her) (talk) 03:52, 7 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. I understand that my previous username and edits were considered promotional, which was not my intention. I created my account to contribute information about the game *RF Online NEXT*, but I now realize that my username and writing style may have violated Wikipedia's username and content guidelines. I sincerely apologize for any disruption caused.

I have since read and understood Wikipedia’s policies on neutrality (WP:NPOV), notability (WP:N), and verifiability (WP:V), and I’m committed to making neutral, encyclopedic contributions only.

I would like to request an unblock with the intention of creating a draft article on *RF Online NEXT*, supported by the following three reliable, independent sources with significant coverage:

1. Netmarble launches RF Online Next in South Korea on both mobile and PC – GamingOnPhone (2025-03-20)

2. RF Online Next: A Futuristic Rendition with a Nostalgic Soul – Inven Global (2023-12-04)

3. RF Online Next – G-STAR 2023 details, trailer, and screenshots – Gematsu (2023-11)

These sources provide substantial, non-promotional coverage, and I believe they meet the notability criteria for a standalone article. Thank you for your time and consideration. 221.150.52.97 (talk) 05:48, 9 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the {{unblock}} template from your last post, because you already have an open unblock request that is still awaiting review. You should only ever have one open unblock at a time.

You also were logged out, as your edit is merely showing your IP address. Please remember to log in next time.

As for your sources: #1 is of unknown reliability (no mention in the WP:RSN archives or at Wikipedia:WikiProject Video games/Sources); #2 is reliable (although your link is broken); #3 is reliable.

--Drm310 🍁 (talk) 05:31, 10 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your feedback, Drm310 and all reviewers.

I’ve logged back in properly before posting this reply.

Regarding the sources:

1. I acknowledge that GamingOnPhone may not meet WP:RSN reliability standards and will exclude it.

2. The correct reliable Inven Global review article is:

“RF Online Next: A Futuristic Rendition with a Nostalgic Soul” – Inven Global (Dec 4, 2023) :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

3. Gematsu's article remains valid:

"RF Online Next – G-STAR 2023 details, trailer, and screenshots” – Gematsu (Nov 2023)

If you’d like, I can look for additional sources to strengthen the article’s notability and verifiability.

Thank you again for your guidance and consideration. NeutralGameEditor (talk) 02:49, 12 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
