User talk:Gemma Riley

Welcome!
Hello, Little Oak Vineyard, 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 User:Little Oak Vineyard, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Little Oak Vineyard


A tag has been placed on User:Little Oak Vineyard, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.
 * It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

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 deleted 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

 Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of name and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions other than promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:
 * Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
 * 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.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. - TNT 😺 06:26, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

We are not using it for advertising purposes, can you explain what has been put that is not allowed and I will change it. Didn't realise so appreciate your support. Little Oak Vineyard (talk) 06:30, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Please change the account name to Gemma Riley Little Oak Vineyard (talk) 06:32, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi Gemma - I appreciate this probably isn't the introduction to Wikipedia you were expecting, and its likely to be a bit overwhelming! There's a couple of problems, which I'll be more than happy to explain to you - they can be summarised as "your edits", and "your username". First off though, do you work for Little Oak Vineyard? If you do, then the general rule of thumb is that you shouldn't write about it. It's very difficult to write impartially about your employer, as I'm sure you can agree! If you were unblocked, and changed your username to something which doesn't represent a company, would you be happy not writing about Little Oak Vineyard? - TNT 😺 06:36, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Yes I do and I didn't realise we couldn't write about ourselves so apologies for that, so I can write about other things then and visitors can write about us? Wow I sure have a lot to learn about Wikipedia! Thanks for your help Little Oak Vineyard (talk) 06:40, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
 * No problem, its a common issue! I think the easiest way of putting it is if we let people write about their own companies then Wikipedia would be full of very well written advertisements - not really what we're going for. I've added a request below for you to be unblocked and renamed - bear with us, as it can take a little while :-) - TNT 😺 06:44, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

Unblock request
I have renamed your account from Little Oak Vineyard. To be clear, do you agree to not edit about your vineyard? (you seem to be above) What topics will you edit about instead? 331dot (talk) 06:58, 16 June 2021 (UTC)
