User talk:Oneweekjob

Welcome!

Hello, Oneweekjob, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Oneweekjob, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Wuh Wuz  Dat  20:18, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Oneweekjob


A tag has been placed on User:Oneweekjob, 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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. Wuh Wuz  Dat  20:18, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

December 2010
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/Organization 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. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:39, 5 December 2010 (UTC)

I have been reading about the unblocking process, but can't make any sense out of the instructions! I would like to contact someone about unblocking me and my account. Thank you! Oneweekjob (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2010 (UTC)


 * I won't be the one reviewing this since I am the one that blocked you, but I can answer part of your question anyway. Using Wikipedia for promotion is not tolerated, whether it is in user space or an article, and usernames that represent a product or organization are blocked, especially if they have been writing about the same subject that their username implies they represent. References are an entirely separate issue and not related to this block. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:34, 12 December 2010 (UTC)

Explanation and suggestion
You were blocked, and your user page deleted because it was clearly trying to promote the One-Week Job Project. That isn't allowed.

There is no point in asking for a new name - the point of changing a user name is to maintain a history of prior edits, and you have no history to preserve. You can go ahead and amandacam as a user name - no admin action is needed for that. -- SPhilbrick  T  21:43, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, the place for a draft article is a user subpage, not your user page, which is a page to discuss your involvement with the Wikipedia community. If you go ahead and register amandacam, then start an article in user:amandacam/Oneweekjob, but make sure you read WP:PROMOTION -- SPhilbrick  T  21:47, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
