User talk:Epicflightacademy

Welcome!

Hello, Epicflightacademy, 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 Epic Flight Academy, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, 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!

Speedy deletion nomination of Epic Flight Academy


A tag has been placed on Epic Flight Academy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 hang-on 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.  ttonyb (talk) 06:44, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Hello from a Pilot
Thought as a pilot I'd say hi with a personal note, as you seem to have met a rocky start here on Wikipedia. We cannot accept copyrighted works unless they are specifically donated to Wikipedia; see the links on the above notice for instructions on how to do this. However, there are other issues that need to be addressed. Wikipedia content must be verifiable, that is, we need reliable, third party sources for the information contained in articles. Your own website obviously does not meet the third party criterion. Without third party sources, the article may not meet the notability guidelines and be deleted as non-notable. Copying the text from your website creates an article that reads like an advertisement, which while excellent for your company website is not good for the encyclopedia (See WP:TONE) Finally, Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view, and we strongly discourage users from editing articles were they have a conflict of interest. Consider improving the articles we already have; like the state of Florida, your home airport, or other locations where you may have an interest. Just be sure you don't advertise your business, as edits of that variety will be deleted. Good luck, and welcome to the project!  N419 BH  06:59, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

Username blocked
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, 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 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 WP: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 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, please see how to appeal a block. ··· 日本穣 ? · 投稿  · Talk to Nihonjoe ·  Join WikiProject Japan ! 07:00, 12 November 2010 (UTC)

This is highly likely to be declined. If you wish to be unblocked, you need to tell us that you understand the reasons for your block. In your case, you will also need to tell us what you plan on doing once unblocked. Note that creating a page on epic flight academy will probably get you blocked again. You'll probably have to change your username as well. Usernames must represent a person, not a group or organization.  N419 BH  07:16, 27 November 2010 (UTC)
