Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Gran Fondo, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. Thank you. Your article for creation was declined at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gran Fondo (2). Previously the same thing was declined at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gran Fondo. We have an article on this: Cyclosportive. Gran Fondo is nothing more than an Italian word for Cyclosportive. If you want to change this, seek consensus by discussing at Talk:Cyclosportive. Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:13, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- Wikipedia doesn't create two different articles for the same thing just because it's called cyclosportive in French and gran fondo in Italian. If you want to move Cyclosportive to Gran fondo, go to Talk:Cyclosportive and suggest why gran fondo should be favored over cyclosportive. But first, you need a new user name; a user name the same as your organization, TOIT Events, is not allowed. Read Wikipedia:Username policy. And since you are obviously a promoter of gran fondos, please read and understand Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. --Dennis Bratland (talk) 22:22, 6 May 2013 (UTC)
- Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
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.
- Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?
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 again.
- 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 probably 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-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}}on your user talk page. - Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
- Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- 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, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. --Orange Mike | Talk 04:06, 7 May 2013 (UTC)
{{unblock-spamun|cyclefun|I apologize if my posts offended anyone. That was definitely never my intention. I am new to wikipedia and learning my way around this format. I have read the how to section, but clearly misunderstood what I was supposed to do. I am not trying to promote or spam anything. I found that when I was googling the term Gran Fondo on the internet, nothing popped up directly to Wikipedia. As the term is far more widely used in North America and some parts of Europe, it is a term that I felt needed to be easily accessible to understand. Ideally if someone was to google Gran fondo as a term (What is a Gran Fondo?) on the internet, the first link that would pop up is a Wikipedia site that explains this, the history, etc. Included on this page would be various international gran fondo events. Yes, this sounds similar to the cyclosportive, but even when you google gran fondo, cyclosportive does not pop up to click on wikipedia. This makes it hard to find for internet users. All I want to do is to find a way to make gran fondo (as a term) easy to find on wikipedia when someone tries to find out more about what it actually is. Again I apologize and I am hoping you can support me in finding a way to make this happen. Thank you.}}

Hello TOITevents. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "Gran Fondo (2)".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Gran Fondo (2)}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, click "Save page", and an administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. JMHamo (talk) 10:26, 12 August 2014 (UTC)
