You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text  or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here.

I am in the process of creating a page about a historically renovated movie theatre / vaudeville theatre in Glasgow, KY. This page will NOT have anything to do with its current programming, ticket sales, etc. There are FOUR other Plaza Theatre pages just like the one I was in the process of creating already in the Wikipedia. If this historic theatre is not suitable for this site, then why are the others allowed on here? Not to mention all the other historic theatres besides the one with PLAZA in the name.

I find it VERY disappointing that you would delete a page after only an hour of a person working on it. It is OBVIOUS that no one actually read what was already posted as it would not then have been deleted. Now, I'm having to fight to get permission to edit restored and then I have to re-create what was deleted. I am not impressed with my first experience postinf to Wikipedia.


 * Having read over the deleted content of the article, I am not impressed with your first experience posting to Wikipedia either. Your article was promotional in nature, especially in the last paragraph, and did nothing to assert notability or verifiability. Read over WP:N and WP:V and maybe also WP:CORP and then suggest how you are going to overcome those obstacles when rewriting the article. If your answers are satisfactory, I will unblock you and give you a copy of the deleted article to rework. Also, you are in violation of Wikipedia username policy. You will need to choose a new name that is non-promotional in nature before you can be unblocked. Trusilver  19:16, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

1) I had only been editing my page for 30 minutes and took a 30 minute break for lunch to discover that it was deleted. It was started as a draft by pasting in from our web site and was absolutely nowhere near completed.  My intent was to spend several hours this afternoon working on it as I attempted to figure out all of the cryptic syntax that was needed. 2) Since never having used Wikipedia before, the instructions are cryptic and arcane so I knew it would take me several hours or more to get the page right. So I put the IN PROGRESS banner up as was recommended. Now it sounds like I need to completely write out my article in advance with all the "code" Wiki needs but lack of the Wiki editor & tools and then just "upload" it. 3) Username policy states "Use of a company or group name as a username is not explicitly prohibited, but it is not recommended, and depending on the circumstances may be seen as a problem." So I am NOT in violation, as there are no circumstances presented that would make that a true statement. And as I tried the names "plaza" and "plazatheatre" and was told they were already taken, those "promotional" names are in use. 4) Getting this information on Wikipedia is NOT worth the effort you are making it. You should seriously rethink your mission if this is what you are going to put new, legitimate users through.

Good day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glasgowplazatheatre (talk • contribs) — Glasgowplazatheatre (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Then I will accept that as intent not to fulfill the necessary requirements to be unblocked and consider your request to be withdrawn. Good day to you as well. Trusilver  21:52, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It should also be noted that while there are accounts for User:Plaza and User:Plazatheatre, neither account has ever edited at all here, much less created anything remotely promotional. There are lots of theaters out there named the Plaza; and lots of other things called the Plaza, as well. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  22:14, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Your use above of the phrase "our web site" implies that you have a serious conflict of interest problem, and the rest of your statement conveys the same impression. This building may well be notable; but somebody with a more neutral point of view is needed on the job. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  20:56, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I am willing to unblock, granted that you change your username to something less promotional, and that you submit a draft of the article via your user subpage for consideration. seicer  &#x007C;  talk  &#x007C;  contribs  21:35, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
