Speedy deletion of Low grad non-Hogdkin lymphoma
A tag has been placed on Low grad non-Hogdkin lymphoma requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Booglamay ( talk ) - 15:11, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

Multiple links
Hi there, I've noticed you're adding lots of links to the same basic website on Lymphoma articles. It's really not necessary. Cheers. Prince of Canadat 11:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Lymphoma Association
A tag has been placed on Lymphoma Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must include on the external site the statement "I, (name), am the author of this article, (article name), and I release its content under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2 and later." You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Identity
Is this the "official" account for the charity that you keep adding links to?

The links have been deleted over and over from the lymphoma-related articles. It's not considered either polite or appropriate to keep adding them when they get deleted. Please, instead of spamming the links like you don't care about anyone else, trying clicking on the "Discussion" tab and starting a new section to explain why you think your website provides important information on the specific topic of each article. Keep in mind that Wikipedia articles are NOT written for patients, so "patients in the UK might like to know about us" is not a sufficient explanation.

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for advertising or promotion.  Teapot  george Talk  19:29, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Please
Wikipedia has rules about which external links are appropriate for articles. You will find these rules here: I have removed all of your recent efforts to promote your organisation's website at Wikipedia. Please do not make the same mistakes again. WhatamIdoing (talk) 18:45, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:External links: Please be sure to look at WP:ELNO #1 in particular, which specifies that external links must contain more/better/different information compared to the ideal Wikipedia article on the subject.
 * WP:MEDMOS: Note that lymphoma is not considered a "very rare" disease, and that the main page of your website contains no "substantial information".
 * Wikipedia is NOT a collection of links: There are literally hundreds of worthy organisations in the world that support patients with blood cancers.  We assume that a reader that wants to find a charitable organisation such as yours is perfectly capable of doing an internet search to find it.

October 2008
Before adding a possibly inappropriate external link to an article, please discuss the changes on the article's talk page first, as this is normally considered spam. You are welcome to continue contributing, but please keep in mind that Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links, and failure to abide by these policies could unfortunately get you blocked or even banned. Thank you. WhatamIdoing (talk) 17:36, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Lymphoma Association has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you. لenna vecia  15:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

Blocked
I have temporarily blocked this account from editing Wikipedia. You've been using it to repeatedly add links promoting an organization which you appear to be associated with. Several editors have brought up concerns about inappropriately promotional material and conflicts of interest and asked you to stop, but you've continued doing so.

I'd like to ask you to look carefully at this site's policies and guidelines which are cited here and in other threads on this talk page. If you would like to contribute encyclopedic information on lymphomas, I'd be happy to welcome and assist you. However, Wikipedia is not a collection of resource links and not a place to promote one's organization; hence the concern.

If you are willing to take this under advisement and you wish to contribute here under this site's terms and policies, please leave a note here on this talk page and I'll unblock your account. I wish you success in your efforts to provide information and support to people suffering from lymphoma - I'm behind that more than 100% - but this particular venue is not right for what you've been trying to accomplish here.
