User talk:Hampsteadstringquartet

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (Hampsteadstringquartet) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this :
 * 1) It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
 * 2) Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Hampsteadstringquartet


A tag has been placed on User:Hampsteadstringquartet, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of User:Hampsteadstringquartet and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hammersoft (talk) 23:44, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

E-mailed permissions
I have emailed re: permissions of hampsteadstringquartet. I own the copyright (Hampsteadstringquartet (talk) 15:36, 3 March 2011 (UTC))
 * Maybe so, but the page was still self promotion. Please see UP. Further, if you were to turn that into a mainspace article, it would probably be deleted under CSD. We take conflict of interest editing here seriously, and it is strongly discouraged. Further, your username violates our username policy. So yes, the copyright issue is serious but there are other outstanding issues as well. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:45, 3 March 2011 (UTC)Information.svgme to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, your account has been blocked; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice.
