User talk:Owlbooks wiki

Hello.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Owlbooks wiki


A tag has been placed on User:Owlbooks wiki, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". 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 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. MikeWazowski (talk) 15:55, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

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 you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of what username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 17:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm afraid that is not a very welcoming welcome; your wish to start "a spree of wonderful {we hope} editing in wikipedia" is to be encouraged, but unfortunately one of our principles is that Wikipedia accounts must be for individuals only, who are personally responsible for them, and usernames which are those of groups or organizations are not allowed. Please register a new, individual account: the name can be related to your real name (but see WP:REALNAME) or not, just as you choose. Any colleagues who wish to edit will also be welcome, but should set up their own accounts.

I should also explain that Wikipedia is very resistant to being used for any kind of advertising or promotion; before making any edits to do with your organization you should read the guidelines WP:Conflict of interest and WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

 * How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
 * Manual of Style

I hope that, with your new account, you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on your user talk page and then place  before the question.
