Spam in User:Chicago Music Exchange edit
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on User:Chicago Music Exchange, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because User:Chicago Music Exchange is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting User:Chicago Music Exchange, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from User:Chicago Music Exchange, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's [[Talk:User:Chicago Music Exchange|talk page]]. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Peridon (talk) 23:21, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Request reason:
I would like to admit that I do work at Chicago Music Exchange, but I did not know the User name must be different than the company name. I would like to change the user name to my own personal name. This is my first attempt at writing a wikipedia page and after reading the 10,000 pages that are tagged in order to get an idea of what I had to do, I began my work on creating a page that lays down both the history of the store, but also a history of the man who began his life's work purchasing, repairing, and selling vintage musical equipment. With that said, I would like to direct you to sites which I was basing my idea for creating a page for Chicago Music Exchange on. There are numerous Wikipedia pages for chain stores and small shops specializing in guitar sales. Such as: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCabe%27s_Guitar_Shop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Guitars http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Center http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gruhn_Guitars After viewing these pages, I began my work on a page for Chicago's premier authority on vintage instruments. I was also under the impression due to regulations behind wikipedia that there would be more of an open communication regarding the creation of an initial page for wikipedia, not a swift and uncompromising deletion and blocking of further creation. Please unblock my user account, allow me to change the user name to my own, and begin creation of the encyclopedic history and information concerning this store doubling as a 16,000 square foot gallery of irreplaceable music history. Sincerely, Daniel Demchuk
Decline reason:
Part of the reason for your block was the fact you had a high conflict of interest--and given that you openly admit to this, I'm not willing to unblock.— Blueboy96 23:40, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

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.
