User talk:Boxcartheatre

I understand the blocking of my username fully. It was indeed a mistake to make my username the name of my company as I was not intending my Wikipedia page to promote, but rather to add to the encyclopedia. I ensure you this was a negligent mistake.

May I switch usernames, or create a new one that has NO affiliation with the company and then recreate this page? I hope so.

I apologize for not reading the guidelines sufficiently.

You may indeed, the instructions for doing so are in the orange box below.  Triplestop  x3  20:41, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Boxcar Theatre
A tag has been placed on Boxcar Theatre requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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.

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 your account was used for promotion of a company or organization with a username that promotes or implies affiliation with that company or organization. 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  20:36, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, exactly. But Wikipedia is not a place where people get to define themselves, accurately, simply, or any other way. If some neutral third party finds it worthwhile to write about Boxcar Theatre, then Wikipedia will have an article on Boxcar Theatre (assuming it's written following all the other Wikipedia guidelines, such as neutral point of view and verifiability). But if we have an article on Boxcar Theatre, it will not be written for the benefit of, or with the viewpoint of, Boxcar Theatre. --jpgordon:==( o ) 23:25, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * And your every word up there shows an eagerness to promote the theater, and a complete lack of the requisite dispassionate, neutral point of view. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  14:13, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
