User talk:Nomorerainplease

Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a reply to your post on the Wikipedia Help page about how to make live your draft article at User:Greenarama/Greenarama. On my screen, at the top of the page is a downpointing triangle. When I move the mouse pointer over it, there appears the option to "move" the article, then you can give your draft the title it should have in the mainspace as an article. I am an administrator, so your screen may not look the same.You have to be "autoconfirmed" on the basis of time and number of edits to be able to move an article. See Moving a page for the mechanics of moving, which is how Wikipedians "rename" a page.

We appreciate encyclopedic contributions, but your draft article seems to be advertising or for promotional purposes, and your username suggests you may have a Conflict of interest in writing about the enterprise. Wikipedia does not allow advertising. For more information on this, see: If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write   below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia: I hope you enjoy editing Wikipedia! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. Feel free to write a note on the bottom of my talk page if you want to get in touch with me. Again, welcome! Edison (talk) 16:41, 11 February 2011 (UTC)

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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

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 it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

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, or organization. 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?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
 * What can I do now?


 * 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, please see how to appeal a block. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  16:51, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry that your initial experience with Wikipedia was so negative. You got hastily "whacked with the ban hammer" because you chose a username indicating a commercial connection, then you created a draft of an article which promoted the related commercial entity. Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages or the classified ads, and does not exist to promote upcoming commercial ventures. I hope you will start again with a new username and edit Wikipedia to improve it, and create articles about notable subjects lacking articles, Best wishes.

unblock-auto|I've given revisions to current Wikipedia articles, 2 articles showing that Greenarama is newsworthy and I'm willing to change my username and not edit my own page anymore. I've even shown how my article is just like those of Garden Shows. Please help me with the next step. This has been a very long process and I've done everything asked of me. I really just want my page posted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Greenarama Home Show


A tag has been placed on Greenarama Home Show 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the 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 visit the the page's talk 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 render it more in conformance 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. &mdash; RHaworth 11:13, 20 May 2011 (UTC)

This is a significant event. This is the first home show of its kind, like it says in the article. I have had so much trouble posting this and I don't understand why. It's not for advertising reasons, its for people to learn more about a groundbreaking event.
 * To create an article in order to enable people to learn about an event is to promote that event. The fact that you describe that event as "groundbreaking" confirms that you are thinking in promotional terms. However, more important is the fact that the content of the article was solidly promotional in tone. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:10, 1 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Use the wikipedia article wizard (WP:WIZARD) for creatiing a new article. There you get help! mabdul 14:11, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for block evasion (User:Greenarama Home Show). If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. JamesBWatson (talk) 14:14, 1 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Yes, your article will need to be revised and reposted. It was deleted as purely promotional material, so please do not re-add it without correcting that problem.  Continued recreation of the same article with the same problem will likely lead to that article being locked.  If you'd like, we can create a draft copy in your userspace for you to work on.

 * Should you be considering creating it at all? You evidently have a conflict of interest in the subject. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:15, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Use the WP:WIZARD for creating a new article. Maybe some reviewer can help you getting the article acceptable for Wikipedia! mabdul 15:18, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking through the history some more, I can see the draft method was tried before and did not work. Mr. Watson's suggestion is sound; perhaps there is another topic you're interested in contributing to?  Kuru   (talk)  15:58, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
