User talk:MODE LandRover

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:MODE LandRover, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages; user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user 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 edit this 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Theroadislong (talk) 09:57, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with User:MODE LandRover. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 10:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... Hi there, just trying to understand the rules with promotion etc. My first time on wiki and just trying to create a page about the history of our company. I copied and pasted from the "about us" section on our website but now I understand that might be too much information regarding products etc. Can I change this to a suitable introduction??
 * The primary concern right now is that your userpage is not article space and cannot be used to promote a company; if you want to create an actual article about your company, please visit articles for creation to request that an article be created, as you should not do so yourself per the conflict of interest policy. 331dot (talk) 10:23, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
 * You will also likely be asked to change your username so that it is not solely that of a company, as usernames must identify individual users. You can have a company name as part of a username, such as "Joe at MODE LandRover" but you still need to be careful regarding conflicts of interest. 331dot (talk) 10:24, 21 January 2015 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing, because this account has been used only for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to Wikipedia policy. Also, your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation, which is also against policy. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a free advertising service. If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of this 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 kind of 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. JohnCD (talk) 10:40, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
