User talk:Scerri

Ha, I wrote much of that article...and specifically the stuff on Scerri. Are you one and the same? Best. icut4u

Welcome

Hi Scerri, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for joining the coolest online encyclopedia I know of. I hope you stick around. You'll probably find it easiest to start with a tutorial of how the wikipedia works, and you can test stuff for yourself in the sandbox. Check out the simplified ruleset. When you're contributing, you'll probably find the manual of style to be helpful, and you'll also want to remember a couple important guidelines.

Those are probably the most important ones, and you can take a look at some others at the policies and guidelines page. You might also be interested in how to write a great article and possibly adding some images to your articles.

Be sure to get involved in the community – you can contact me on my talk page if you have any questions, and you can check out the village pump, where lots of wikipedians hang out and discuss things. If you're looking for something to do, check out the community portal. And whenever you ask a question or post something on a talk page, be sure to sign your name by typing 4 tildes like ~~~~. Always sign the talk page, never the articles.

Again, welcome! It's great to have you. Happy editing!

Conflict of interest

Please read WP:COI. We don't promote our own stuff here. Vsmith (talk) 01:41, 11 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing in accordance with Wikipedia's blocking policy for continuing to add spam links. Persistent spammers will have their websites blacklisted from Wikipedia and potentially penalized by search engines. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below.

unblock. I am very disappointed to have been blocked from making edits on Wikipedia. I don't believe that I have ever been guilty of spamming. I believe that the edits that I have made and any citations to my own work are entirely relevant to the pages in question. Please consider unblocking me.

Support. Eric Scerri is a world authority on the periodic table, and it's quite helpful to other readers, for him to be able to update his publication details. Sandbh (talk) 10:41, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Eric, please post a formal unblock request, using {{Unblock}} (see the documentation page for that template for technical details of using it). Be sure to reveal any other accounts you have used (and if you have edited anonymounsly, without creating an account), and briefly address how you see your past and planned-future edits as compatible with Wikipedia guidelines.

Request reason:

I am requesting an unblock of my account, Eric Scerri.

I understand Wikipedia’s concern with conflict of interest, especially when individuals edit articles about themselves. However, I respectfully submit that my edits—limited to updating and correcting my own publication details including on the Eric Scerri article—are factual, verifiable, and contribute to the accuracy and reliability of Wikipedia as a public resource.

As a professional academic and historian of chemistry, I take care to ensure the information I add is correct and properly set out. I recognize the general preference for using talk pages or formal edit requests in autobiographical articles, but I must be candid: given my professional commitments, I simply do not have the time to engage in back-and-forths on talk pages or through formal edit request channels. My intent has never been promotional, but simply to keep my record of peer-reviewed contributions to the literature accurate and up to date for the benefit of Wikipedia readers.

I have only used this one account. Before creating it, I occasionally edited anonymously as an IP user. I believe that my relatively small number of factual edits can easily be reviewed and, if necessary, amended or reverted by others. In that light, I hope they can be seen as constructive contributions to the accuracy and timeliness of Wikipedia rather than violations. I respectfully ask that the block be lifted, or reconsidered, so I can continue making these occasional factual corrections and updates.

Sincerely, Eric Scerri PhD

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This request was made with an IP. If this was you, please remember to log in when posting. You don't need to post a copy of your above statement again, just make a request while logged in. I would also suggest editing this page by clicking "edit" and not "reply"; the reply function is imperfect and does not work well in all situations(it especially does not accomodate unblock requests well). 331dot (talk) 11:10, 27 March 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.
