User talk:Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc.

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * Welcome!
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style


 * Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or sock puppetry.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc., and it appears to include material copied directly from http://alphagammaxi.org/.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 21:14, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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 such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for Organizations 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text on your user talk page.
 * 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alexf(talk) 00:36, 14 September 2014 (UTC)

I was blocked indefinitely and I dont understand why. the created page is for a non profit military organization and not for the intended purposes of advertising or spam. there are similar pages that exist for similar organizations so I dont understand what this article violated. There was no copyright infringement as all information was cited. If the username is changed to Alpha Gamma Xi would that suffice? Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc.

 * Wikipedia does not permit account names that are the names of organizations - they are blocked outright. Accounts can only represent a single individual, and accounts cannot be shared by more than one person. You can request a change of username to obtain a new name, so long as it conforms to Wikipedia's username policy.
 * Writing about your organization is a conflict of interest and while not explicitly forbidden, this practice is discouraged because of the inherent bias. Articles must be written from a dispassionate neutral point of view, which is difficult for someone affiliated with the organization. Consult Wikipedia's plain and simple conflict of interest guide for more guidance on this topic.
 * Your organization must be considered notable to deserve an article. Notability is established by significant coverage in reliable sources that are unaffiliated with the organization. Your organization's website may be considered a valid primary source for basic facts, but not interpretations of those facts.
 * You cannot directly copy and paste material from your website, even if you are the copyright owner, without first following the steps to donate copyrighted materials. Be aware that the content you donate may be modified extensively from its original form by other Wikipedia editors.

So changing the name to Alpha Gamma Xi should rectify the issue and allow the page to be unblocked. I am an individual and the account would not be shared. My article also meets the requirement of having had coverage in other sources that are unbiased. Again I asked to be unblocked because there are atleast 15 other wiki articles that are similar in content as the article that I submitted. Omega Delta Sigma, Alpha Kappa Alpha, Delta Tau Delta....the list goes on. Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc. (talk) 02:03, 15 September 2014 (UTC)


 * You must follow the steps under the What can I do now? heading in the block notice above. That's the only way to attract the attention of the admins responsible for blocking and unbliocking accounts. --Drm310 (talk) 16:13, 15 September 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc./Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc.


A tag has been placed on User:Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc./Alpha Gamma Xi Sorority, Inc., requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Cahk (talk) 04:59, 11 December 2015 (UTC)
