Welcome
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. We appreciate your contributions to the page User:2123peter3212/Peer Van Mladen, but for legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition was deleted under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

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 include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later, and the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License." You may also e-mail or mail the Foundation to release the content. See Donating copyrighted materials for more.

While we appreciate contributions, we must require all contributors to understand and comply with our copyright policy. Wikipedia takes copyright concerns very seriously, and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here. You can also leave a message on my talk page.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to User:2123peter3212/Peer Van Mladen. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

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. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials.

August 2013
The page User:Peer Van Mladen has been deleted, for three reasons, any one of which on its own would have been sufficient grounds for immediate deletion under Wikipedia's policy on speedy deletion. Wikipedia policy is that Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion. Among other things, that policy specifically mentions self-promotion. The user page guideline states that "userspace is not a free web host and should not be used to indefinitely host pages that look like articles ... or deleted content". Once a discussion has taken place, and produced a clear consensus that a page is unsuitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, it is not acceptable to simply ignore that consensus and re-create the page. As for the fact that you created a user page for a nonexistent user, I can only assume that was a mistake, in which case you need to be careful to avoid the same sort of mistake in future.

 * 1) The page was unambiguous promotion.
 * 2) The page was a re-creation of a page which had been deleted as a result of consensus at a deletion discussion.
 * 3) There is no such user.

Since posting the above message, I have noticed that you were informed as far back as April that using Wikipedia for promotion is unacceptable, both on this page and on the talk page of another account, but you have continued to do so. If you continue to add soapboxing, promotional or advertising material to Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:58, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

As you were warned would happen if you continued in the same way, you have been blocked indefinitely from editing. Not only have you continued to use Wikipedia for promotion, after it had been made abundantly clear to you that doing so was unacceptable, but you have been highly disruptive in several other ways, too. These have included trying to overturn consensus at a deletion discussion by ignoring it and repeatedly recreating the deleted page, attempting to evade page protection by creating the page under several different titles, hijacking a deletion discussion page to turn it into a copy of your promotional page, and persistently ignoring Wikipedia's copyright policy. If you believe there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
