User:Aproformat/Adelaide Proformat
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Aproformat/Adelaide Proformat, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 01:16, 6 August 2009 (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 create a new account. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may ask for a review of this username block by adding the text below this message. Thanks. - Dank (push to talk) 01:55, 6 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi, I apologize if we're coming across as harsh ... I don't mean to, but we don't allow usernames that represent a business or organization, and the page you created is too likely to be seen by Wikipedians as promotional of the various websites linked. I think you'll get a warmer reception if you read WP:WHYNOT and the section below that one, and then drop by the new users' help board for advice on what we're looking for.  It looks like you have valuable information to share.  Best of luck, - Dank (push to talk) 01:58, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
