User talk:Big Bamboo Stock Photography

Wikipedia is not a place to promote your business. Your userpage seems to consist solely of information about the business corresponding to your username. Please review what wikipedia is not, and consider removing this information, and contributing to our encyclopedia instead. If you are knowledgable about Bamboo perhaps you would consider releasing a photo of yours underWP:GFDL and illustrating the article with it?. ++Lar: t/c 20:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Welcome

Your userpage
Hi,

For now, the MfD on your userpage has closed as a keep. However, your userpage does appear to trend close to violating Userpage policy: userpages are for the benefit of the encyclopedia, and should not contain advertising for outside businesses. Your userpage was not deleted as a courtesy to you because you are new here. Do please revise it, however, or it may be deleted in the future. Best wishes, Xoloz 16:41, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

User page
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia!

I hope not to seem unfriendly or make you feel unwelcome, but I noticed, and I am concerned that it might not meet Wikipedia's user page policy. After you look over that policy, could we discuss that concern here? I'd appreciate hearing your views, such as your reasons for wanting this particular page and any alternatives you might accept.

There are several options available for resolving this matter:
 * If you can relieve my concerns through discussing it here, I can stop worrying about it.
 * If you decide to delete the page yourself, please add  to the top of the page in question and an administrator will delete it.
 * If the two of us can't agree on what needs to be done, we can ask for help through Wikipedia's user pages for discussion, which may result in the page in question being deleted.

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

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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. See WP:FAQ/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 again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * 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 will probably 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 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. Bbb23 (talk) 12:07, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
