If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of John Biggins

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 John Biggins requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

March 2011

Please refrain from writing autobiographical articles, as you did at John Biggins. Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged; if you create such an article, it may be deleted. All edits to articles must conform to our policies on no original research, neutral point of view, and avoid conflicts of interest. Please remember that Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia, not a personal webspace provider. If your achievements are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. -- Rrburke (talk) 21:22, 15 March 2011 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

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, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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. See WP:FAQ/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, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block.

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without a good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Decline reason:

it appears from your remarks below you no longer wish to be unblocked but instead intend to quit contributing here. No further action is needed for you to do that. If I have misunderstood your intentions please post a new unblock request. Beeblebrox (talk) 17:13, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

• I think we may be able to see our way clear to unblocking you, but we're not quite there yet. In addition to editing your own article, part of the reason for your block is that you seem to be representing a website design firm that produced a website for the subject of another topic you wrote about. We will need some assurance that there will be no promotional editing whatsoever from this account, and that you will avoid editing in areas where you have a clear conflict of interest between Wikipedia's goals and your own. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:41, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

I can make that assurance, Beeblebrox, and could have sorted this out long ago had Wikipedia put into place an easy way to communicate with its administrators! Why isn't there an 'email administrator' link? Why does there appear to be no way to communicate easily with you from the email notification sent to me? It says 'to contract the editor, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Beeblebrox' - where on that page is it possible to contact you? You mention emailing you on your talk page but there's no email link anywhere, as far as I can see. I count myself pretty web-savvy but it seems that Wiki's contact links are pretty opaque at best. Please delete my entry about myself, and I will make an assurance to avoid contributing to Wikipedia in any way, shape or form in the future. In fact, delete my account entirely.

Thanks,

John

If you go to User:Beeblebrox (without introducing a stray ' after the x as you did), there's a link right there in the toolbox that says "E-mail this user"; what's so hard about that? --Orange Mike | Talk 14:10, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
