User talk:ElementEducation

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:ElementEducation, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Sfan00 IMG (talk) 18:39, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... we are a charter school in San Diego and would like to place a article/page on Wikipedia just as many other public schools do. We are a charter school and NOT a private school looking to advertise.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... we are a charter school in San Diego, Riverside, and Newport Beach. We would like to create an article/page about our schools just as other schools have done (i.e High Schools, Universities, etc.). We are a charter school and NOT a private school therefore are not looking to promote or advertise our school. Please advise, thank you.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 19:03, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

If you register an individual account, your username may be related to your real name, or not, as you choose (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it should not be the name of any other living person, or of any group or organization. A username of the form "Robert at ElementEducation" would be acceptable and would serve to declare your affiliation.

Even with an individual account, in editing about EE you would have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a Conflict of interest and should carefully read that guideline and the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. Note in particular that in any COI editing you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's Terms of Use (and in some jurisdictions by laws against covert advertising) to declare your interest.

I have deleted your sandbox, because it was copied from EE's website. Wikipedia cannot host copied material without a formal copyright release, but there would be little point in making one, because copying an organization's own promotional literature is not the way to make an encyclopedia article - Wikipedia is not a free advertising platform or a place for organizations to tell the world about themselves.
