Galaxy spamming account blocked
Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:02, 18 January 2014 (UTC)  GadgetsGuy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log)) Requested username: GadgetsGuy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)
Request reason: I want to make it clear that i do not represent any organization as it might seem such as I contributed many articles regarding samsung devices so in order to conform to wikipedia rules i change my name to a neutral one in which does not reflect any name of any current organizations brand and I think my edits are neutral enough and are not promotional in manner as I do not post such words as "great" or best and only describe the product very well plus some of the basic content such as chaton was carried over from existing articles. I know such ruling that is why my contributions are neutral enough I know my username was the issue so may I request for a change, Thanks!
Accept reason: Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. only (talk) 23:02, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
Here are a few key questions:
You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 19:19, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
ImagesFirstly, that S5 image is a non-free image and is clearly being used under fair use. What exactly is the problem? Also, you mention flickrwashing and "questionable licensing" consistently, but have no citations. What gives? ViperSnake151 Talk 03:54, 27 February 2014 (UTC)

 You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Samsung Galaxy S5. Users are expected to collaborate with others, to avoid editing disruptively, and to try to reach a consensus rather than repeatedly undoing other users' edits once it is known that there is a disagreement. Please be particularly aware, Wikipedia's policy on edit warring states:
If you find yourself in an editing dispute, use the article's talk page to discuss controversial changes; work towards a version that represents consensus among editors. You can post a request for help at an appropriate noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases it may be appropriate to request temporary page protection. If you engage in an edit war, you may be blocked from editing. ViperSnake151 Talk 03:59, 27 February 2014 (UTC) Notice of Edit warring noticeboard discussion
Your use of multiple Wikipedia accounts Hi. An editor has opened an investigation into sockpuppetry by you. Sockpuppetry is the use of more than one Wikipedia account in a manner that contravenes community policy. The investigation is being held at Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/GadgetsGuy, where the editor who opened the investigation has presented their evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with the guide to responding to investigations, and then feel free to offer your own evidence or to submit comments that you wish to be considered by the Wikipedia administrator who decides the result of the investigation. If you have been using multiple accounts (in a manner contrary to Wikipedia policy), please go to the investigation page and verify that now. Leniency is usually shown to those who promise not to do so again, or who did so unwittingly, but the abuse of multiple accounts is taken very seriously by the Wikipedia community.

Disambiguation link notification for May 27Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Samsung Galaxy S Duos 2, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Android (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks, DPL bot (talk) 08:50, 27 May 2014 (UTC) "Better" image?Some of your images have some accuracy issues with the rendering that miss important details (particularly on the LG ones, where the official renders show that the logo on the white version is faded, and not pure black. Also, are you desperately trying to standardize them all on white phones? Though, I appreciate your effort on the renders, especially on the more obscure devices. Think you could do some for some of the more obscure HTC phones too? (HTC Rhyme and First could use some the most. Just, make sure you make the Rhyme one be that burgundy color) ViperSnake151 Talk 14:51, 31 May 2014 (UTC)
AlsoI will restore the old image on the G2 article, per the closing result of the deletion request, which completely disagrees with your assertion.
However, assuming that you edit the image to better reflect the actual finish, I actually will keep the G3 image because its cropped better. ViperSnake151 Talk 19:03, 10 June 2014 (UTC)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 7.0Yes, I've been trying to find a source that says it can handle more than 64GB. In theory, if it can handle SDXC at all, it should be able to handle all SDXC cards, up to 2TB. It definitely works with 128GB cards, but my only source for that is myself, and that won't do. Some official sources claim 32GB...? Oh well... Le Lapin Vert (talk) 18:53, 14 July 2014 (UTC) Hi, S6 Edge+S6 Edge+ is not a variation of Galaxy S6, but is actually hardware variation of Galaxy Note 5. As such, your merger has been challenged, and has been reverted. ViperSnake151 Talk 22:20, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
