Speedy deletion of Nafoura
A tag has been placed on Nafoura requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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. Fribbler (talk) 23:46, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

License tagging for Image:08-06-05_045.jpg
Thanks for uploading Image:08-06-05_045.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information; to add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia.

For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 09:38, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

User:Nafoura/NAFOURA Magazine
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Nafoura/NAFOURA Magazine, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 13:42, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Response
I would debate your message regarding whether NAFOURA Magazine on WIKI is being used as a form of advertising for the benefit of a company. NAFOURA Magazine is an important resource for many belly dancers worldwide. Deleting this page from WIKI ultimately is stopping belly dancers from being aware of its existence and the amount of positive useful knowledge that the magazine adds to the belly dancing art worldwide. Please be aware that there aren't any other magazines that focus on belly dancing and in context to the world market. Deleting this page from WIKI is a big shame, especially for all belly dancers and for the belly dancing art, which lacks enough credible publications that promote it. Please reconsider your decision.

Spamming
You know, swapping out the product names and intended targets from your message in favor of different ones would get me essentially the same message I've gotten from many many others attempting to use Wikipedia for free advertising. In other words: been there, done that, still not convinced by the self-justifying excuses.

Read the links provided on the notice and learn from them, please. --Calton | Talk 14:21, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Not spamming
NAFOURA Magazine isn't a profit making business thank you very much. No one takes earnings for the amount of hard work that goes into it. The magazine is genuinely dedicated to furthering knowledge and awareness of belly dance. Your response is typical of someone who clearly has no idea about Belly Dancing. I will keep this remark and publish it in the next issue of our magazine. Let's see what our readers think of your inaccurate comment and whether in fact the page is spamming.


 * Your lack of profit-making -- even assuming its true -- is utterly immaterial as regards spamming. --Calton | Talk 14:37, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

Furthermore
What do you call this? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vogue_(magazine) Spammming??


 * Nope. People have actually heard of them. Which is why other people actually created the article to document their notability. Since, in your case one must substitute "you tried to" and "attempt to generate", respectively, for the boldface phrases to make it true, yours is indeed spamming. --Calton | Talk 14:37, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

August 2009
Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Because your account was used for promotion of a company, group, product or organization with a username that promotes or implies affiliation with the aforementioned. This includes, but is not limited to: adding spam links, creating promotional pages (this includes user pages), adding advertisements to existing articles, and adding promotional/favorable content about something you are affiliated with.
 * Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Use of Wikipedia for promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones) is considered Spam and is forbidden. Such actions will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.


 * 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 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 below this message box.
 * Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
 * Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
 * 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 instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Appealing a block for more information.
