Alan Scalone
I noticed your draft at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Alan Scalone. I know very little about that process, but I think you go to the last step of the article creation process (which you can do by clicking WP:WIZGO), then put "Alan Scalone" in the "Submit for review" box and click the "Create submission for review" button.

However, there are a couple of problems I suggest you try to work on before doing that. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia where language must be neutral and must not sound promotional. For example, a sentence like "X has led a life of commitment to serving others and making the world a better place" is not usable here. One minor problem is that such a statement is someone's opinion, and it would have to be sourced and attributed ("According to Y, X has led a life of commitment..."). The more significant problem is that the sentence is not appropriate here because this is not someone's personal website. There are links to useful information in the "welcome" at the top.

Another problem is that your user name suggests a strong connection with the subject. Editors are supposed to want to help the encyclopedia, and it would be best to find some articles to do minor editing on to gain experience. Sorry about the difficulty, but I suggest you have a look at other articles to get an idea of what is suitable. Johnuniq (talk) 08:08, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

This is your only warning; if you use Wikipedia for soapboxing, promotion or advertising again, as you did at User:Fscalone/Clickn kids, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. MER-C 12:44, 18 August 2014 (UTC)

June 2016
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by first reading the guide to appealing blocks, then adding the following text to the bottom of your talk page:.

 * Alan, what you said above is false. On the front page of that site is a link to the "Artwork Catalog", the last page of which reads "Ordering Information" with sales contact information and the clear statement "We are accepting orders from retail distributors, aerospace museums, schools and other business entities." Since your previous contributions were deleted as promotional in nature, and these new contributions are to add spam links to a commercial web site, I believe you are on Wikipedia to promote business. This is not the purpose of Wikipedia and commercial links will not be allowed on these pages. You will have to convince a reviewing administrator that you are not here to promote business, and you aren't off to a good start. -- Laser brain  (talk)  20:42, 21 June 2016 (UTC)
