User talk:Paradise cruise halong

Welcome!
Hello, I'm new to Wikipedia and would like to write an article for Paradise Cruise but my sandbox page was just deleted, please help
 * The page hasn't been deleted yet, but it will be very soon. Wikipedia is not a place to advertise your cruise. Darylgolden(talk) Ping when replying 08:24, 29 December 2017 (UTC)


 * There are several issues here. First of all, please take a look at the disclosure requirements for paid editors and make sure you comply with them. One easy way to do so is to copy-paste the code at Template:Paid to your user page and to fill it out according to your situation.
 * That said, I unfortunately had to delete your sandbox, for several reasons. It didn't cite any reliable sources (TripAdvisor came closest, but TripAdvisor rankings are ultimately user-submitted content with no editorial oversight whatsoever - I could create a hundred TripAdvisor accounts and give your company a bunch of one-star reviews, for example). It was blatantly promotional in tone and content, unsuitable for an encyclopedia like Wikipedia. And it was copy-pasted from the company website in violation of copyright, or at the very least Wikipedia's copyright policy. Any one of those issues on its own would have been enough to delete the page. Together, they indicate that you misunderstand Wikipedia's purpose. It's not free ad space.

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of 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, you may appeal this block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Widr (talk) 10:35, 29 December 2017 (UTC)
