Welcome to Wikipedia. I saw that you edited or created User:Amberglenscotchwhisky/sandbox/Amber Glen Scotch Whisky, and I noticed that your username, "Amberglenscotchwhisky", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Foobar Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Jack Smith at XYZ Company", "Mark at WidgetsUSA", or "FoobarFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a change of username, by completing this form, that complies with our username policy.

Hi Amberglenscotchwhisky. I have noticed that you are drafting an article in your sandbox that appears to be promotional. I just wanted to let you know that advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Please ensure that you keep to a neutral point of view at all times when editing/creating articles. If you need any help, you can visit the Teahouse (a place where experienced editors help new editors, like yourself), as for help on the live chat or you can reply to me here by using the reply to template to notify me or on my talk page and I'll do my best to help. Thank you! LoudLizard (📞 | contribs | ✉) 20:53, 20 February 2016 (UTC)

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia, as you did to List of whisky brands. While objective prose about beliefs, organisations, people, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Amber Glen Scotch Whisky


A tag has been placed on Draft:Amber Glen Scotch Whisky, 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Philg88 ♦talk 07:07, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
