Speedy deletion nomination of American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
A tag has been placed on American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Wuh Wuz  Dat  16:45, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine
Hi there Atspr! I saw that you added a hangon tag to a page which you created, American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine. This is good, but in the process you removed the tag requesting deletion under CSD G11. Even though there is a hangon on the page, the deletion template should remain there. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that the page is going to get deleted. Make sure you edit the talk page of the page nominated for deletion, located at Talk:American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, administrators will look at your reason why the page should remain before they decide what to do. Thanks - SDPatrolBot (talk) 16:50, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Because Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Using Wikipedia for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest for our policies about this.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
 * 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 instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Appealing a block for more information. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  19:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I do believe there has been a misunderstanding, please help. This page was created for the sole purpose of research. There is nothing being advertised. The American Thoracic Society is a non profit organization that publishes 3 journals. Wiki has a page for the ATS, but not it's journals which is why they were being created. This username does NOT stand for public relations (they don't even exist in non profits organizations), instead it is actually Peer Review (as in journal reviewing). I need to edit the page because the information that was posted must be approved first by the ATS, and then re-posted. Please help as soon as possible. Thank you.


 * I think you have the wrong idea of how our articles work. No external agency can control what is used in content of our articles.  Properly sourced neutrally worded material, positive or negative, is our primary requirement.  Until you can demonstrate that you understand that, and agree that you have a conflict of interest on ATS-related articles you will not be unblocked. Syrthiss (talk) 14:22, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

How does X work?
helpme Can this page (America Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine) please be deleted? Thank you.


 * It looks like another user is planning on working on American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine some to improve it; could you elaborate on why you feel it should be deleted? Our speedy deletion criteria only allow the deletion of an article at the original author's request if they're the only ones to have made substantial edits to the page. Hers fold  (t/a/c) 02:20, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

The American Thoracic Society (who owns the journal) has not approved the post. The American Thoracic Society will re-post it after it is approved. Is this possible? Also, I would like to say that this username does NOT stand for public relations.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to Wikipedia. However, please know that editors do not own articles and should respect the work of their fellow contributors. If you create or edit an article, know that others are free to change its content. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

(ec) The American Thoracic Society does not own the article, and neither does anyone else. As such, the proposed deletion of articles must take place through the proper avenues. And, although you'll be hard-pressed to prove that "ATSPR" doesn't stand for "American Throacic Society Public Relations," the proper place to deal with that is on the post above this, where your block is listed. ~ Amory ( user •  talk  •  contribs ) 14:05, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
