Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. While we appreciate that you enjoy using Wikipedia, please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a free webhosting service. Wikipedia is not a place to post personal content, host personal websites, or do things that are not directly related to adding to or improving the encyclopedia, as you did at User:First Baptist Church of Port Jervis. Off-topic material may be deleted at any time. This message is not meant to discourage you from editing Wikipedia but rather to remind you that the ultimate goal of this website is to build an encyclopedia. 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 or request a change of username. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Dlohcierekim (talk) 05:50, 17 October 2017 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page should not be speedily deleted because... (your reason here) --First Baptist Church of Port Jervis (talk) 11:05, 17 October 2017 (UTC) I am willing to fix any mistakes. This church is historical to Port Jervis and we are trying to get it memorialized in Wiki. Please let me know exactly where it is a problem, certainly not all of it. Thank you
 * Thanks for your note. The thing is Wikipedia is not a memorial. You may need to go elsewhere to memorialize the church. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. Articles in this encyclopedia must be built upon verifiable information from reliable sources unconnected with the subject and having a reputation for fact checking. If enough sources have produced enough information about a subject, it will meet notability requirements. I heartily recommend following the process of using the article wizard to help you create an article, if that is your wish.


 * My first impression of the user page was that it looked like a webpage. That impression has been confirmed on review. The content went beyond what a memorial page would contain. It contains present day information about the elders in the form of a precis or resumé. This certainly give the page the feel of a web page intended to promote the subject. Wikipedia is not an outlet for promotion. Do not use "our" in a Wikipedia article.


 * Please read the above message about why the user page was deleted. Wholly not what we are permitted on user pages.


 * Quite clearly, you have a conflict of interest between trying to memorialize the subject and editing Wikipedia. There is also a question of paid editing. Please read and understand that info carefully.


 * Please read the block notice carefully. We may only have a user name that identifies us as an individual. Not an organization. You must choose a new user name.


 * Hope that helps, Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:48, 17 October 2017 (UTC)


 * PS. I see I did not delete the thing. Please read user:dlohcierekim/u5 for info I would have left had I deleted the page.Dlohcierekim (talk) 13:51, 17 October 2017 (UTC)
