User talk:Augusto De Luca

 Hello and Welcome to Wikiversity Augusto De Luca! You can contact us with questions at the colloquium or me personally when you need help. Please remember to sign and date your finished comments when participating in discussions. The signature icon above the edit window makes it simple. All users are expected to abide by our Privacy, Civility, and the Terms of Use policies while at Wikiversity.

To get started, you may


 * Take a guided tour and learn to edit.
 * Visit a (kind of) random project.
 * Browse Wikiversity, or visit a portal corresponding to your educational level: pre-school, primary, secondary, tertiary, non-formal education.
 * Find out about research activities on Wikiversity.
 * Explore Wikiversity with the links to your left.


 * Read an introduction for teachers and find out how to write an educational resource for Wikiversity.
 * Give feedback about your initial observations
 * Discuss Wikiversity issues or ask questions at the colloquium.
 * Chat with other Wikiversitans on #wikiversity-en.
 * Follow Wikiversity on twitter (http://twitter.com/Wikiversity) and identi.ca (http://identi.ca/group/wikiversity).

You do not need to be an educator to edit. You only need to be bold to contribute and to experiment with the sandbox or your userpage. See you around Wikiversity! --Dave Braunschweig (discuss • contribs) 16:31, 24 March 2014 (UTC)

Account globally locked
Augusto, your account has been globally locked due to the addition of over 500 user pages to WikiMedia Foundation wikis, in a short period of time, which has been called "spamming." That lock was more or less routine for such activity.

Because of the global lock, you cannot access any account under this name. You did not enable email, or I'd be able to email you. I will attempt to find if there is a way to contact you off-wiki. As you will see, your user page was deleted as spam, but was undeleted at my request and a Requests_for_Deletion was filed. This is, in part, a notice of that Request.

Global locks are not global bans, so you may, without violating policy, register another account. You could do so and provide information to us, here on Wikiversity. I am not an administrator but I would seek to see that you would be protected here if you do not cause problems here. If you use that new account cross-wiki (on other wikis), there might be problems that we could do nothing about. I would highly recommend that you enable email for the new account, because if I or any other interested user sees that your new account is globally locked, we can email you then and you would be able to respond directly.

The situation is very complicated, you and other users are being called "paid spammers." Obviously, I cannot tell who was paid for what, if anything. But Wikiversity is different from most other wikis. You might have much more freedom here, if you wish to create educational resources, such as on photography or art. That you are a professional would not normally be a problem here.

(If not for all those other user pages, being created so quickly that most think it was done with an automated editor, there would have been absolutely no problem with your page here, a custodian first declined to delete it, since it looks completely harmless, and I think it was not only completely harmless, but beautiful, a work of art.) --Abd (discuss • contribs) 03:08, 27 March 2014 (UTC)
