Removing Speedy at User:McDonald Transit Services
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:McDonald Transit Services. 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) 11:22, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, 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. See WP:FAQ/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 again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
 * 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 will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead. If you do intend to make useful contributions 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. Peridon (talk) 11:29, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

This page should not be speedy deleted because...
This page should not be speedily deleted because... I did not fully read your terms and conditions and therefore did not realise advertising was forbidden, I would like to be unblocked so I can re-write a page this time just including just the history of our company and some articles with regards to the industry we work in --McDonald Transit Services (talk) 11:56, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
 * You're not the first, and not the last... I'd advise reading WP:CORP about notability for companies (not every company gets an article), and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove it. This might seem unfair to companies that have done a good job for a long time, but which have attracted little comment and review in the press or in books. We have to draw lines, otherwise we'd have articles about the chap selling roses on the island at the junction of two A roads and the market stall unblocking mobile phones. Basically, our criteria for notability boil down to reasonably wide coverage in reasonable depth (not "Also providing similar services are BloggsCo, and Kitten, Mitten & Fluffy Inc") in reliable sources (not blogs, forums, wikis or own sites, directories, AboutUs, Facebook and so on). If you think you can meet these requirements, and have also read WP:COI (editing about you and yours) and WP:NPOV (neutral point of view), then use the tePeridon (talk) 12:45, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
