User talk:Populotto

Welcome
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Populotto, 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 or publicises 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 deletion 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. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  14:25, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because...

Hi, I am a first time user and i tried as best possible to remove any potentially spammy or advertising type of material on this page.

If you could please assist me by informing if the changes are ok for submission or if they need to be edited further.

I have tried to keep it as practical and relavant as possible

I look forward to hearing from you--Populotto (talk) 15:01, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 at the bottom of your talk page. 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 at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you.

Hi
I've posted a Welcome template at the top of this page which should help you understand what Wikipedia is and how you can contribute, but I also want to try to help you understand why you have been having problems... I hope this all makes sense. Should you wish to help us build the encyclopedia you will need to create a new user account as the name of this one is not acceptable, and you would almost certainly be expected not to write about Pop-u-Lotto. But once you have your new account, please feel free to come and ask for any help you might need over on my Talk page (there's a link in my signature).

 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and not a business directory, a social media site, or a free advertising service. As such, it only carries articles about notable subjects (see WP:N to learn about Wikipedia's notability requirements - in particular, see WP:NCORP for the notability requirements for companies and organizations). That notability must be supported by citations to multiple independent reliable sources (see WP:RS to learn about reliable sources and WP:CITE to learn how to cite them).
 * Wikipedia user accounts only are for individuals who wish to help us build the encyclopedia - companies can not have accounts, and user pages can not be used to write about companies (see WP:COI for some information on Wikipedia's conflict of interest policy).
 * Wikipedia articles must be written about in a neutral and encyclopedic tone, and must not be written in promotional, advertising or marketing styles (see WP:NPOV for more on that).
 * Your user page, had it been submitted as an article, would have failed on all of these counts. It was unsupported by reliable sources, did not demonstrate how Pop-u-Lotto satisfies Wikiedia's notability standards, and it was written in a blatantly promotional marketing style - I'm surprised how many people work in marketing departments and truly don't appear to understand that ordinary people just do not talk the way they do. A Wikipedia article about a subject should be written to tell the reader what it is, not how good it is, and that often seems to be the main mismatch between marketing and reality.
