Username concerns
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "Oregonmedicalboard", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is the name of an organization, and you are using the account's user page to write about the organization. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 16:41, 10 May 2013 (UTC) A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Oregonmedicalboard, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service, 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 guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: 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 your user 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 edit this 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Drm310 (talk) 13:13, 11 May 2013 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia is not a place like Myspace or Facebook for people or organizations to write about themselves. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged - see Wikipedia is not about YOU and Conflict of interest. User pages are for the individual volunteers who are here to help build the encyclopedia to say something about themselves and their Wikipedia activities, to assist communication within the project. They are not for substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia. The links in the Welcome message at the top of the page will tell you more about Wikipedia.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 19:13, 14 May 2013 (UTC)
