Welcome! edit

Hello, Lupinoduck, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Togethering, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

Speedy deletion nomination of Togethering edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Togethering, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 331dot (talk) 17:45, 18 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

 
You have been blocked from editing for a period of 2 weeks for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest and notability guidelines. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make useful contributions. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the following text below this notice: {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Jimfbleak - talk to me? 17:57, 18 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

Hi - please unblock my account - I hadn't fully read the terms when I submitted my 'togethering' post - I intended to put up an initial page, which I could edit further over the next few weeks.... but shouldn't have included links to the giftclever.com website.... I am going to create a giftclever page, which will be a company page, which I should have created first.... I will read the guidelines fully before posting something for giftclever, but would need to be unblocked before I can do this..... :) Lupinoduck (talk) 18:30, 18 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Decline reason:

Block extended to indefinite because you intend to continue abusing Wikipedia for promotional purposes. It is also apparent that you have an undisclosed conflict of interest regarding this company, and hence may have violated the Terms of Service regarding paid contributions.

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.

OK. Start off with WP:CORP about notability for companies, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Not every company gets an article - this is not a directory or social media. Without notability, no article. Peridon (talk) 20:08, 18 November 2014 (UTC)Reply
Also, please note that we don't have articles unless they are shown to ne notable, in wide use, and not merely definitions of the word that should be in Wiktionary. WP:SPAM applies too, of course... Peridon (talk) 20:11, 18 November 2014 (UTC)Reply

Request reason:

I have read the rules and promise to abide by them

Decline reason:

I am declining your unblock request because it does not address the reason for your block, or because it is inadequate for other reasons. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that

  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.

Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Yamla (talk) 15:33, 24 April 2024 (UTC)Reply
