UBC CBR

Welcome!

Hello, UBC CBR, 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, like Centre for Blood Research, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Centre for Blood Research

A tag has been placed on Centre for Blood Research requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. 5 albert square (talk) 04:57, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Non Free Images in your User Space

Hey there UBC CBR, thank you for your contributions! I am a bot alerting you that Non-free files are not allowed in the user or talk-space. I removed some files that I found on User:UBC CBR. In the future, please refrain from adding fair-use images to your user-space drafts or your talk page.

• See a log of images removed today here

• Shut off the bot here

• Report errors here.

Thank you, -- DASHBot (talk) 02:02, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

Possibly unfree File:CBR logo.png

A file that you uploaded or altered, File:CBR logo.png, has been listed at Wikipedia:Possibly unfree files because its copyright status is unclear or disputed. If the file's copyright status cannot be verified, it may be deleted. You may find more information on the file description page. You are welcome to add comments to its entry at the discussion if you are interested in it not being deleted. Thank you. --Eeekster (talk) 00:16, 21 April 2010 (UTC)

I have fixed the licensing type and removed the tag, but you will need to fix the Summary on File:CBR logo.png to provide the proper justification -- I can't do it for you because you're the one who uploaded the image. This is what you should use:

== Summary == === Fair use in [[Centre for Blood Research]] === Although this image is subject to copyright, I, [[User:UBC CBR]], believe that its use in [[Centre for Blood Research]] is covered by the U.S. fair use laws because: # It is being used for informational purposes only; # It is the logo of a company for which no equivalent free alternative exists or could be created without infringing on copyright; # It does not infringe upon the original copyright holder's ability to profit from the media; and # It contributes significantly to the article in which it is used by identifying its subject. [[User:UBC CBR]]

Remove the nowiki tags at the beginning and end of the above before you insert it into the summary. Hope this helps. AkankshaG (talk) 01:44, 21 April 2010 (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, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use 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 Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization 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}} below this message box.
• 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. Snowolf ^{How can I help?} 01:47, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
