Removing Speedy at User:Brooklynlocks1
Welcome to Wikipedia, thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from User:Brooklynlocks1. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps: Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willingly to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 06:57, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Brooklynlocks1 (talk) 06:59, 28 January 2012 (UTC) There is no specific company or brand mentioned. It is educational as it makes people aware of what they are buying and why.


 * Your user page was originally unambiguously promotional, as any editor can see from the article history. It is now a how-to guide, which also goes against Wikipedia policy. I invite you to read our policies on promotional edits, how-to guides, and user names.


 * To be honest, I'm not sure why a wise businessman would wish to attempt to advertise in an encyclopedia that "anyone" can edit. After all, that "anyone" could be an unsatisfied customer, a competitor, an ex-wife, a mother-in-law, an ex-mother-in-law, or even some dork sitting at the keyboard at 1:55 AM in Winnipeg. Once something's on Wikipedia anyone can change it, and those changes might not be for the best for the company. Paid ads in local newspapers are more effective, better targeted, and less vulnerable to vandalism. --NellieBly (talk) 07:57, 28 January 2012 (UTC)

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.

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, 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.

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?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company, organization, or clients. 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 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. Peridon (talk) 09:46, 28 January 2012 (UTC)
