Speedy deletion of WMRO (AM)

A tag has been placed on WMRO (AM) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Paste (talk) 17:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

October 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with WMRO (AM). Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Paste (talk) 19:50, 8 October 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of WMRO (AM)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article WMRO (AM), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of WMRO (AM)

I have nominated WMRO (AM), an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/WMRO (AM). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

blocked

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. Jayron32 04:50, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

• Regarding your email, there are two seperate (though related) issues:
  • First, you are blocked because your username is a violation of our username policy. See Wikipedia:Username_policy#Company.2Fgroup_names for more information. You may request a change of username as described above.
  • Secondly, even if you change your username, you should not be editing Wikipedia pages about companies you own. Wikipedia is not a social networking site like MySpace, nor is it a webhost or an advertising service. Wikipedia has a policy which discourages editing under a conflict of interest. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest and Wikipedia:Ownership of articles for more details. Basically, as Wikipedia requires neutral information in its articles (see Wikipedia:Neutral point of view), we require that the people who do the writing have a certain level detatchement from the subjects of the articles. For companies you own, or people you know personally, or other similar topics, you have a vested interest which makes that detachment impossible. If you wish to see changes made to article you are close to, you can use the article's discussion page to make suggestions which others can evaluate before they are made.
• If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. --Jayron32 02:14, 22 July 2010 (UTC)

Regarding your most recent email

• First of all, we can communicate here at Wikipedia. There's no need to send me emails.
• Secondly, If you wish to be unblocked, it makes no difference if you offer money, goods, or services to Jimmy Wales. You cannot buy influence at Wikipedia so that you can violate rules others have to follow.
• Thirdly, if you do wish to be unblocked, you need to request an unblock as described above, and request a new username. Your username cannot match that of a real company. See Wikipedia:Username_policy#Company.2Fgroup_names.
• Fourthly, if you do wish to be unblocked, you are going to have to agree to not edit the article about the radio station you own. There is no way I can make this any plainer. You may use the article discussion page to make suggestions, but you should not add, remove, or change any material in articles about companies you own. This is explained at Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. If you have changes you would like to be made, make an explanation at the article talk page, and someone will evaluate your proposed changes, and make them if they comply with Wikipedia's established policies.

Please feel free to request a review of your block by following the instructions in the orange box above. But please read all of the policies I have provided you first, to avoid having someone have to explain it all to you again (which would be the THIRD time). --Jayron32 23:00, 25 October 2010 (UTC)
