Speedy deletion nomination of Icompete


A tag has been placed on Icompete, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be 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 or person 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/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
 * It appears to be about something made up, and it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A11 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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 deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, website 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.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Probably not, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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 Wikipedia again.
 * Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?


 * What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions here about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:


 * 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. Deb (talk) 08:42, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Help me!
Please help me with suggestions for unblocking me, I am only new (but not silly) and just did a trial paragraph and ran into instant trouble from the start. The first thing is that Wikipedia doesn't like my name,okay I can change it but don't know where - second up, they thin I'm promoting a business which I am not. I have twice tried to indicate that the unique thing I am trying to describe is 100% free to all people. I've gotten off to a bad start and I'm only actually working for the benefit of people, if I could just get past the first sentence.

 * I can help. But first, are you interested in helping to build the encyclopedia without adding any content related to you or your organization?  Anna Frodesiak (talk) 02:40, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes anything to learn this crazy system LOL. I promise I'll be good. Can you unblock me so I can explain my efforts to save humanity :-) I'll change my name and won't accurately describe what I'm on about because it looks like publicity (which of course every word ever written on the internet actually is). I'll try to describe my thing in a round about unclear way and thereby comply with your edicts. ICompete (talk) 03:17, 24 July 2015 (UTC) iCompete


 * Okay, so to be clear, if I unblock you, you will not write anything about your organization anywhere at Wikipedia? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 03:48, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Yes but I sure could use a friend to push me in the right direction and I totally believe in paying it forward, meaning that if I get to figure out how to work Wikipedia after I become proficient at it, I will certainly help other people who will be in the same boat in the future. Also, I have no problem changing my username to my real name (which is Ron BTW) - I thought the username was actually meant to be an alias. Anyway Yes, I'll do my level best to comply to the rules, I'll write about what iCompete is all about (it's a new technology for the health and fitness industry) well that's one way to describe it but it's much more and it's free, so I'll have to figure out the best way to describe it without making it sound like a business. I guess not mentioning the name would help but that sort of makes it hard to talk about 'something' with out actually naming what it is LOL. Okay, unblock me and let me start again, I'll try to figure out how to write about it without mentioning it - which I must say is an intriguing exercise you have set for me. If I fail again, I can assure you it is not intentional but as a result of me being dumb :(

 * So, I asked "...if I unblock you, you will not write anything about your organization..." to which you replied "...Yes...I'll write about what iCompete is..." What do you have to say about that? Anna Frodesiak (talk) 04:21, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

What I mean is that I won't write specifically about iCompete, but rather about the idea of what iCompete is. The notion, the concept but not publicize it in any way. Perhaps if I ask you a question, I know that some sporting organisations are listed and written about in an historical sense and because they are an important part of the world as we all know it. The concept I want to write about sits above those organizations and can tie them all together for the improvement in health and fitness and to abolish the use of harmful drugs in all sports as well as create a better understanding of the differences between natural and artificial. Would you think this a worth topic to write about in your Wikipedia? Also, as asked I will change my username from iCompete to my real name.

 * Now you are saying tht you wish to write about the "...idea of what iCompete is...". That is still writing about iCompete. You have a serious conflict of interest because you work for the organization. I think you are here on behalf of that organization with the mission to promote it and publicize it.


 * I will not unblock you. You may request another unblock, however, you should not expect a different result. I suggest that you go back to your bosses and explain how it is not your fault. Explain that Wikipedia is simply not an organization to help promote companies. This is an encyclopedia. Suggest that your bosses pay for advertising on the local radio instead. Feel free to print out this post and put it on his desk. Best wishes, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 05:20, 24 July 2015 (UTC)

Enough of this. Anna was really patient with you yet you repaid her with personal attacks. No more interaction on this page for you. Max Semenik (talk) 06:32, 24 July 2015 (UTC)  Your ability to edit this talk page has been revoked as an administrator has identified your talk page edits as inappropriate and/or disruptive. ([ block log] • [ active blocks] • [ global blocks] • [//tools.wmflabs.org/xtools/autoblock/?user=&project=en.wikipedia.org autoblocks] • contribs • deleted contribs • [ abuse filter log] • [ • change block settings • [ unblock] • [ checkuser] ([ log]))

If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you should read the guide to appealing blocks, then contact administrators by submitting a request to the Unblock Ticket Request System. If you have already appealed to the Unblock Ticket Request System and been declined you may appeal to the Arbitration Committee's Ban Appeals Subcommittee. Please note that there could be appeals to the unblock ticket request system that have been declined leading to the post of this notice.


 * I did not mean to be rude. I did not attack your personality. I am not a schoolyard bully. I am just trying to protect Wikipedia, an encyclopedia. I believe your software is for-profit. Remember that because you "have never worked a day in your life", somebody else did, to grow your food, make your clothes, and serve you. It's nothing to be proud of. Quite the opposite, in my view.
