Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of LOL Candles
A tag has been placed on LOL Candles, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

December 2009
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, 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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not. See FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Conflict of interest for 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 here, 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 below this message box.
 * 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.

My block is not justified.
Beeblebrox blocked my user account and my submission which was also set for deletion. I feel this was unjustly done, and would like to have myself and my submission reinstated. I do agree that my username did not conform to your policy and for that I apologize. Initially I wanted to use the name HBD my sons initials but could not and figured I'd throw the INC in there. That was my mistake. However I did not submit this article as spam, or as a way to garner business. I wanted more information about the company and the products to be available. I referenced the Yankee candle Wiki page as a template for the LOL Candle page. Please reconsider as it is only fair...At least let's get it together so we can refine it to a usable submission. Most of the information I gave was of an informative nature and not intended to be a blatant advertisement. We have been asked to have more information on our company and I thought this would be a nice thing to be involved in...

Thank you,

So I am blocked, and can't get a response from anyone, because I can't email anyone because I am blocked, due to the fact that I submitted an article deemed inappropriate, that certainly wasn't meant to be, nor in my opinion was or is, and can't create a new account to try to reach the blocking editor because my ip address is blocked due to everything I just mentioned...Phew!! I know that was one hefty run on sentence...it was meant to be! :o)

Please Beeblebrox respond to me! I am not angry, but I do feel wronged at the fact that there are other companies who get their story out there, but I'm a little fish in a big sea, and am made to feel insignificant because of this! I am proud of what I have accomplished and have worked darn hard at it. Being on wikipedia is a confirmation of my work and our companies life that is so a part of candle lore...

 * Normally blocks are not reviewed by the administrator that made them. There are instructions on requesting an unblock in the blocking notice, just add the unblock template here and another admin will be along to evaluate your request. Beeblebrox (talk) 00:09, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
