Although we do not explain it as well as we should to new users at the time of joining, Wikipedia is not a site like Myspace or Facebook for people to write about themselves, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography. It is a project to build an encyclopedia and, in order to maintain a neutral point of view, users are strongly discouraged from editing on any subject on which they have a conflict of interest. Also please note that Wikipedia is not the place to post your résumé.

Removing Speedy at User:Mark Tivey
Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for taking the time to create a page here. It might not have been your intention, but you recently removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you created yourself. Because Wikipedia policy does not allow the creator of the page to remove deletion tags, an automated program has replaced the deletion tag you removed from User:Mark Tivey. Please do not continue to remove the deletion tag, instead, if you disagree with the deletion, you can follow these steps: Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do. For further help about the deletion, you could contact the user who first placed the tag or a highly active user who is willing to help with deletion. This message was left by a bot, so please do not contact the bot about the deletion. Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 18:46, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Mark Tivey


A tag has been placed on Mark Tivey, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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. Pichpich (talk) 20:06, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Please do not write an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline on writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you.

Are you beginning to see a pattern in these notices? 50.131.220.134 (talk) 20:07, 19 July 2012 (UTC)


 * One more point. Hijacking an existing article and turning it into an article about a completely different subject with the same name is completely unacceptable. JamesBWatson (talk) 20:22, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username (Mark Tivey) may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is promotional. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Please change otherwise you maybe reported at WP:UAA.

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... Mark Tivey has been a professional Football Player and is not promoting at all it is just a bio on him — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mark Tivey (talk • contribs) 20:27, 19 July 2012‎


 * I suggest this be salted until Mark realizes this sort of editing is unacceptable. 50.131.220.134 (talk) 20:29, 19 July 2012 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for spamming or advertising. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
