Hello, Samuelbros, 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:Samuelbros/sandbox, 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.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Samuelbros/sandbox

edit
 

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Samuelbros/sandbox, 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.

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

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

  • Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the 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.
  • Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

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|reason=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.

Requested username:

Request reason:

Hello, my name is Izzy, I am 19 years old and I would like to be unbanned please. The purpose of making the article in which got me banned is a task set for me by my dad. I am making and researching an article of his company, that he has owned and run for 16 years. I had obviously not done enough research into the policies of the site so made the username to be similar to the company name which now makes total sense why that is not allowed. To my knowledge, I won't be receiving any monetary compensation as this is a summer project for while I am at not at university. In addition, I also now realise I accidently published the page on sandbox, which I thought was a drafting mechanism and wouldn't actually publish to the site, I had every intention of referencing and writing a lot more things that can actually be backed up as factual. I intended to demonstrate the contribution and achievements that my dad has made for example, his contributions to military dress standards, the creation of female uniforms where there has been none, his BEM awarded for his contribution to a battle of waterloo museum, the companies royal warrant and more. There is also a lot of interesting history from back into the 1800's I am looking forward to researching that hopefully will also be included. I hope you will consider my request. Best Wishes, Izzy

Decline reason:

Sandboxes are a place to practice editing or write a draft, but they are not private and not immune from deletion policies. There are no private areas on Wikipedia(though some are harder to find than others); if you don't want people to see what you are doing, don't place it on Wikipedia. Your draft was written in advertising speak inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Please read about conflict of interest. You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your father's company. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you are interested in editing about other topics, please tell what those might be. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:36, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
Hello, I totally understand that everything I write can be seen, sadly I wasn't finished writing so I can understand how the few things written there could be interpreted as advertisement. Though I have interest in many subjects, I do not see myself editing or creating anything on Wikipedia in the future. Would it be possible to then delete the account as you, nor I, nor Wikipedia see no further use for the account. All the Best, Izzy Samuelbros (talk) 09:05, 11 July 2023 (UTC)Reply
