Speedy deletion nomination of PLUS Markets Group
PLUS Markets Group has been tagged for speedy deletion, a process through which unacceptable articles are summarily removed. 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of PLUS Markets Group
A tag has been placed on PLUS Markets Group 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 verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. 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 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.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Eeekster (talk) 23:29, 2 October 2009 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for spam, advertising, or promotion. If you believe this block is unjustified you may contest this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

I'm moving this out of your unblock request, for readability. I also nulled the categories; user talk pages don't go into the categories. Let me have a look at your circumstances. UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:23, 13 October 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks like you were blocked on 2 October due to the fact that, by appearances, your account was being used exclusively to promote PLUS Markets on several articles related to securities exchanges. Some good reading can be found at WP:PROMO, which discusses how to write about your topic without violating our policies. Please review that and discuss here how you plan to edit within policy. Thanks, UltraExactZZ Claims~ Evidence 13:29, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
