User talk:Joe Grist

Welcome
Hello, Joe Grist, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you edited appears to be dealing with a topic with which you may have a conflict of interest. In other words, you may find it difficult to write about that topic in a neutral and objective way, because you are, work for, or represent, the subject of that article. Your recent contributions may have already been reverted for this very reason.

To reduce the chances of deletion, you might like to draft your article before submission, then ask me or any other editor to proofread it. To start creating a draft article, just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit that page as you would any other. If the page you created has already been deleted from Wikipedia, but you want to save the content from it to use for that draft, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

The one firm rule we do have in connection with conflicts of interest is that accounts used by more than one person will unfortunately be blocked from editing. It is also worth noting that Wikipedia generally does not allow editors to have usernames which specifically link them to one company or corporation. If your username does have such a name, it would be advisable for you to request a change of username.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! You can also just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Gurt Posh (talk) 10:03, 17 July 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sharecom


A tag has been placed on Sharecom requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 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. DoDo Bird Brain (talk) 02:17, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Can I Suggest
You may wish to read WP:Your first article and WP:USERSPACEDRAFT. Any "live" article must meet very specific standards, whereas a draft might give you a little more time to complete the article ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 18:43, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
 * You also have absolutely massive Conflict of Interest - you cannot advertise a non-notable blog/site, or unreferenced entities ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 18:47, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 18:44, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or self-promoting in violation of the conflict of interest policy and notability guidelines. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. ( talk→  BWilkins   ←track ) 18:51, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

I will never create another page.
Fine, just unblock me, and I promise I won't "break the rules"...

Please unblock me.
First, you don't need to use the unblock template to comment or reply on this talk page - I closed your previous unblock request because it was not a request for unblocking, but an accusation of admin abuse. So let's back up a bit - you agreed that you would not "create anymore pages" if unblocked, and that makes sense - you've had some problems with the articles you've created to date, and it is wise to refrain from creating articles until you get the hang of our policies and procedures. Since most of your activity has been these created articles, I have to ask - what do you plan to work on if you are unblocked? How do you plan to edit? If you can assure admins that you will edit productively and within policy, I think some might be convinced to unblock. Otherwise... not. Please take a step back and consider how best to proceed.

How I will contribute if unblocked.
Bwilkins

I'm sorry for having issues with the rules and regulations with the site. However, I will contribute by fixing mistakes in some articles which need it. So if there are grammar errors, I could fix them. Sorry for all the advertising.
