Speedy deletion nomination of Abneys edit
A tag has been placed on Abneys requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. 7 talk | Δ | 10:15, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

- Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Because Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Using Wikipedia for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for our policies about this.
In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.
- What can I do now?
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock|Your reason here}}below this message box. - Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
- Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
- Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Wikipedia:Appealing a block for more information. – B.hotep •talk• 10:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
Abneys (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I wish to be unblocked so that I can make genuine contributions to wikipedia. I would like the username 'Abneys'. I will not repeat the mistake I made before because i accidently copied and pasted information. I would like to write an informative article about child abuse law and limitation period. Other than this username I will only make genuine general contribution
Decline reason:
The username is a clear indication of conflict-of-interest. You would need a name change first; request that with {{unblock-un}} here. -Jeremy (v^_^v Tear him for his bad verses!) 15:25, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
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.

Could I write an article under 'Effects of Hoare and Young'
Response to email of 17/07/2009 16:07 edit
Your email read:
| “ | Hello, I created a page for 'Abneys' yesterday however I have been blocked today. How can I ask to be unblocked. The information was put on accidently yesterday, without me realising it was purged on to the website. I wanted to write an article about child abuse and how the law about limitation affected it. Could you please advise. | ” |
All the information regarding unblock requests is contained in the block message above, which I presume you have read? If you intend contributing to the encyclopedia constructively (and without reference to your company) the instructions and conditions attached are also contained in the block message above. – B.hotep •talk• 10:01, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
