A tag has been placed on Green patriot, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Eggishorn 19:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Role accounts and promotion
Your name and your user page suggest that this is a "role account", that is, an account shared by more than one user. As our Username policy page says: "For reasons of attribution and accountability, you are not allowed to share your account or password with others. If you do, and this becomes known, your account will be blocked."

You should also be aware of our conflict of interest policy. It says, among other things: "If you fit either of these descriptions: 1) you are receiving monetary or other benefits or considerations to edit Wikipedia as a representative of an organization (whether directly as an employee or contractor of that organization, or indirectly as an employee or contractor of a firm hired by that organization for public relations purposes); or, 2) you expect to derive monetary or other benefits or considerations from editing Wikipedia; for example, by being the owner, officer or other stakeholder of a company or other organization about which you are writing; then we very strongly encourage you to avoid editing Wikipedia in areas in which you appear to have a conflict of interest." and "Conflict of interest often presents itself in the form of self-promotion..."

If your account is perceived as frequently violating the conflict of interest policy, articles you create might be deleted, and your account could be blocked. To avoid this, please be careful to edit from a Neutral Point of View, to cite reliable and independent sources for statements of fact, and to be sure that you create articles only about notable subjects. You might want to read our corporate notability guidelines.

I don't want to sound intimidating, merely to help you avoid problems that can occur when people are not familiar with wikipedia customs, practices, and policy. Note that people with the beat will in the world who are incorrectly perceived as violating these can have problems here, so it is best to learn the landscape early.

If you have any questions, feel free to visit the help desk or to leave a message on my talk page. I hope this is helpful to you. DES (talk) 21:05, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Green Patriot
The article Green Patriot has been nominated for deletion. You might want to join the debate at Articles for deletion/Green Patriot. DES (talk) 21:44, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Possible conflict of interest
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

Accounts used solely for blatant self-promotion may be blocked without further warning.

For more details, please read the Conflict of Interest guideline. Yechiel Man 10:03, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

July 2007
Your account with this username has been blocked indefinitely because it is a role account (see our blocking and username policies for more information). You are encouraged to [ create a new account] and contribute to Wikipedia under a more appropriate username. Username policy provides guidance on selecting an appropriate username. You may also edit Wikipedia without creating an account.

You are not allowed to edit Wikipedia under an inappropriate username. If you would like to discuss the block, you may appeal on your talk page or email the administrator who blocked you. Due to Wikipedia's mechanism for enforcing name changes, your IP address may be temporarily blocked. Unless you have also been engaging in vandalism or impersonation of another user, we will remove that block as soon as possible.

If you want to keep the contributions from your old account for your new username, please follow these directions:
 * 1) Add {&#123;unblock-un&#124;your new username here&#125;} to your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
 * 2) At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked.
 * 3) You will have 24 hours after the unblock to file a request on Changing username before you may be re-blocked. Note that this can only be done before you create the new one. For more information, please visit Changing username. In many cases (especially if your account has few or no edits), it is a lot easier to  [ create a new account] .

Page restoration
Glad to see you back! I restored your page, in case you wanted to review some old messages! -- lucasbfr talk 19:20, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

To answer your question
To answer your question on WP:CHU, here are some ideas:
 * Discuss on the talk page If you discuss changes you want to make on the article's talk page, other editors will have a chance to look at them and make suggestions as to how to add it to the article. It's better if you can back up the proposed change with reliable sources.
 * If need be, look for other avenues It is helpful if you decide to find (an)other article(s) you could improve in the interim while waiting for a proposed change to be okayed or nayed. Think about what you are interested in and/or knowledgeable about.
 * Accept what is decided. Edit-warring never helps anyone, and unilaterally adding in a rejected change is only going to lead to trouble.

I hope these suggestions help. -Jéské ( Blah v^_^v ) 22:27, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
