Speedy deletion nomination of Hitwage


A tag has been placed on Hitwage requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Eastlaw  talk ⁄ contribs 03:58, 15 June 2012 (UTC) Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then 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, organization, or clients. 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 on your user talk page.
 * 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.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text below but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:59, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for email. All sorts of problems  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:31, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
 * It is not clear from your text what Hitwage actually is.
 * It was an orphan, not linked to by any other Wikipedia articles
 * It did not provide independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines.
 * It was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic, this was promoting Hitwage, whatever it is.
 * It may be original research
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject, and I have blocked you for promoting Hitwage through your user name. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your organisation is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage of the topic in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.


 * Thanks for further email. As I understood it, you seem to be suggesting that the page should be somewhere for people to post opinions, rather than add facts; that is not what Wikipedia is for. I don't think your replies actually address any of the points I have made. You can always appeal against the block as described in the box above and see if another admin feels that it should be lifted. You could post the text of your email to me here if you wish, so that your replies are visible to others, but that's up to you  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:33, 18 June 2012 (UTC)
