User talk:Ackermanarchives

February 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created Ralph ackerman, and I noticed that the username you have chosen, "Ackermanarchives", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or accounts that are shared. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. AllyD (talk) 11:46, 24 February 2013 (UTC)

- I am trying to create and edit a page for my father, Ralph Ackerman who passed away - so people can search and find it by his name when they go to bing or google... I don't want to confuse the issue by using his name as a user implying he's still alive - I want to log in and have an account to use called ackerman archives - and I'll be updating his bio, photos, art, etc. - this entire process is really confusing here...
 * Sorry about your father, but please understand that Wikipedia is not a memorial site. If you want to write an article about him, following our guidelines, if he was notable and you can cite independent verifiable reliable sources then by all means, but not under this username which is in clear violation of groupname as indicated above. Please request a change of username and soon as this account will be closed. -- Alexf(talk) 12:51, 13 March 2013 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer instead to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you prefer to change your username rather than create a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 11:28, 20 March 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ralph Ackerman


The article Ralph Ackerman has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * An unreferenced biography and searches of media indexed by Google and Highbeam are not locating evidence of notability, whether under WP:CREATIVE or WP:BASIC criteria.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
