Welcome!
Hello, Floorcity, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Floor City, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, 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!

Again, welcome! Meters (talk) 18:47, 24 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Your first article
 * Contributing to Wikipedia
 * Biographies of living persons
 * How to write a great article
 * The five pillars of Wikipedia
 * Help pages
 * Tutorial


 * So I can have someone that's not me write an article on Build Direct? Why else would someone write about any company unless something was in it for the business or the person. Furthermore there are business pages for nearly all Fortune 500 companies all of which are nothing more than trivial promotions. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:100f:b12c:8130:9020:d60f:5034:2660 (talk • contribs) 01:30, May 25, 2017 (UTC)
 * We already have an article on Build Direct. Assuming you meant Floor City, no, you can't have someone else write the article for you. See WP:COI. As for your next question, you clearly just don't get what Wikipedia is about. I'm not going to spend any more time on this. You're blocked. You are not allowed to edit using any other account or IP, and you should not ask anyone to write the article. Meters (talk) 02:50, 25 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Floor City


A tag has been placed on Floor City, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Meters (talk) 18:47, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Floor City, a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Meters (talk) 18:55, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

There have been two problems identified with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia; and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 kind of 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 at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jezebel's Ponyo bons mots 18:58, 24 May 2017 (UTC)

how do I get unblocked. I just want to share the story of our company as a history reference, it would be similar to what BuildDirect has

how is Build Direct wiki page any different than my attempt. Please tell me how I might be able to write in a way that it meets the criteria. Thank you

Only one unblock request at a time, please. This time, you had three open unblock requests. Now, you've made a very serious allegation against BuildDirect. It's also completely irrelevant to your unblock request (see WP:OTHERSTUFF for why), but regardless. What evidence do you have that BuildDirect was written by the CEO of the company, Jeff Booth? For that matter, what evidence do you have that the article was written by people paid by BuildDirect, in violation of WP:COI? We'd be happy to take a look if you have specific evidence to back up these statements. Again, though, even if true, it's irrelevant to your block. All that would happen is that we would clean up that other article (or perhaps delete it). It's still critically important that you follow the policies I outlined above. Everyone, Floor City or BuildDirect or anyone else, must follow those policies. --Yamla (talk) 00:13, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
