Speedy Deletion
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:AmaBokke Beer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Drm310 (talk) 05:17, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --AmaBokke Beer (talk) 05:33, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

I wish to change the User Name from AmaBokke Beer to AmaBokke. I want to use this page as a forum to disucss "The Buck" as it coloquially referred to in South Africa. This is a slag word and has numerous connotations to national identities of South Africa. There are many devitations of this word. This is my first venture with Wikipedia and i was too hasty in setting up my account and assumed i could edit more freely. Please can you assist in editing my user name and allow me edit the contec?

Thanks,

Pieter Beukes.
 * Hi Pieter, welcome to Wikipedia. As Romtam already explained to you above, you can change your username at WP:CHU. Please note, however, that you should not use Wikipedia as a forum. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, meaning our goal is to provide people with information, and not being a free web host for forums and blogs. Therefore, if your only purpose on Wikipedia is to create a forum for "The Buck", I suggest you take your efforts elsewhere. However, if you do want to contribute to Wikipedia by improving our articles, feel free to request a username change. Thanks! Darylgolden(talk) 06:48, 22 August 2014 (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 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 would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:49, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
