Welcome!

Hello, ACTDental, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:ACTDental, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:ACTDental

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:ACTDental, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages — user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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 "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 deleted 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. —Bruce1ee^talk 17:21, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
• Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. Red Phoenix ^talk 17:22, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

 User:ACTDental/sandbox has been deleted
Hello, ACTDental. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. I'm sorry, but  User:ACTDental/sandbox has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD#G11. "This applies to pages that are exclusively promotional and would need to be fundamentally rewritten to conform with Wikipedia:NOTFORPROMOTION." These must be rewritten from scratch from "reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject." See WP:RS.

Wikipedia:Identifying blatant advertising#Typical signs of blatant advertising contains information about content to avoid. For more information on content that may be perceived as promotional, click User:Deepfriedokra/promo. These are just rough guides. Pages can avoid all those pitfalls and still be glaringly obvious ad copy. Sometimes pages meeting WP:CSD#G11 give the appearance of an editor violating Wikipedia:Conflict of interest or WP:PAID. Please read and heed them if they apply to you. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations.

There is a very common mistake of assuming that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to promotion for commercial gain, but that is not so. Sometimes creators of promotional content are bewildered that it is considered such. If one has been trained to write or spent some time writing corporate documents or mission/vision statements or anything similar, they may simply be blind to the promotionality. It can be hard to unlearn.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see Wikipedia:Citing sources . Template:cite has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{references}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there.

The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. --Deepfriedokra (talk) 17:27, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Requested username:

ACT Dental (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I was unaware of the policies, as I am a new user. I understand the reason for my block and will make the appropriate changes to my article. I will not use verbiage to promote the business instead, I will simply summarize who our educators are with a history of our business.

Decline reason:

No thanks. If instead you wish to write about subject areas for which you have no conflict of interest, pick an appropriate username, convince us you understand WP:COI, and tell us what you plan to write about instead. Yamla (talk) 17:53, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

Request reason:

As I am a new user, I was unaware of the policies for writing content to Wikipedia. I am willing to update our page and make changes as appropriate. Please help us through this process. Instead of promoting ACT Dental, we would like to instead write a brief history of the organization. I would like to assure you that we understand the COI policies from Wikipedia. We would like to rewrite the article.

Decline reason:

You have not picked a new user name, and you have not assured us that you would like to edit articles that are not an area of conflict of interest for you. The use of "we" throughout also suggests that this account is shared by multiple people which is not allowed. only (talk) 00:45, 26 August 2020 (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.

Requested username:

Whiteboard Marketing (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I am writing an article for Whiteboard Marketing. I would like to write an article about ACTdental. I will disclose at the bottom our relationship.

Decline reason:

You have not proposed an acceptable username, and have persisted in telling us you intend to edit about subjects that you will not be permitted to edit about, so there are no grounds to remove the the block. I endorse the removal of talk page access and decline your request. When you choose to listen to us, you may proceed as described below. 331dot (talk) 15:02, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

No thanks. Because of WP:IDHT, I am revoking your talk page access. --Yamla (talk) 13:06, 26 August 2020 (UTC)

Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive.

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If the block is a CheckUser or Oversight block, was made by the Arbitration Committee or to enforce an arbitration decision (arbitration enforcement), or is unsuitable for public discussion, you should appeal to the Arbitration Committee.
Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.
