User talk:Bridge Managers

Welcome!

Hello, Bridge Managers, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Engineered Management Systems Inc., may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Triwbe (talk) 15:56, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Engineered Management Systems Inc.
A tag has been placed on Engineered Management Systems Inc. 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. Triwbe (talk) 15:56, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, 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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization 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, or organization. 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?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * Add the text below this message box.
 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:00, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

I'm deeply bothered by the continued use of the plural "we" in this post. We DON'T want Engineered Management Systems thinking that it as a corporation can edit Wikipedia. We can welcome a human being, as long as he is contributing as a human being with knowledge and not as a corporate spokesperson. You would have to fully disclose your conflict of interest in this area, and avoid anything that could be interpreted as in any way advertising EMS or its services, expertise, etc. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  18:01, 29 May 2010 (UTC)

This blocked user ( [ block log] | [ active blocks] | autoblocks | [ unblock] | contribs | deleted contribs | [ abuse log] ) has asked to be unblocked, but an administrator has reviewed and declined this request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy). Do not remove this unblock request while you are blocked. Request reason: "We are not attempting to promote ourselves through Wikipedia. Our clients would not select our firm based on inclusion on your web site. It was our intention to provide a meaningful forum for the topic of Bridge Management (which, unfortunately is currently inapropriately linked to a music company). We were merely attempting to establish our credibility as a worthy source of information on the topic. We would be happy to use the title "Bridge Managment" instead of our company name if it can be made available. This is an extremely important subject and one that should be covered on Wikipedia. It is unfortunate that the importance of Bridge Management is only recognized after a major catastrophe such as the I-35 incident. We would also appreciate it if our deletion, which we strongly contest, would not appear on a Google search of our company name. We will change our user name to whatever you wish. "Bridge Management" may be more appropriate, we really don't care." If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read our guide to appealing blocks first and then use the unblock template again. Note that misuse of the unblock request procedure may result in the removal of your talk page editing privileges for the duration of your block.
