User talk:Rutlandguttersupply

User:Rutlandguttersupply
I was unaware that my user page was unacceptable as I used several user pages as a guide which also show biographical information and affiliated websites, etc. If discussing my interests which is primarily architectural copper work on my user page and sharing a link to my architectural copper website for more examples of copper work is unacceptable, then please tell me what is acceptable. I use Wikipedia as do many others and often see omissions or skanty information on many of the articles. Where ever I can contribute photos or share knowledge relating to areas of expertise that I have, I have been glad to spend the time to do so and feel satisfaction when I contribute. I would be happy to edit or adapt my user name or user page, or scale it way down, whichever is best. Perhaps if all Wikipedia users/contributors/editors were forced to remove any and all references to their own personal and business interests as well as to any and all of their website affiliations, then I would feel better. So please just let me know what I must do to edit my information, change username, whatever is necessary to stay in the good graces with all the good people here.

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Rutlandguttersupply, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 03:37, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

This account, , has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because your username does not meet our username policy.


 * This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it&mdash;see below.

Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, misleading, or related to a 'real-world' group or organization. Also, usernames may not end with the string "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username. To do so, please follow these directions:
 * Add on your user talk page. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can usually still edit your own talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far more easily allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. For more information, please visit Changing username.
 * Alternatively, you can "abandon" the contributions under this username and create a new account, which is much faster and easier, especially if you have few or no edits.

Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text on your user talk page or emailing the administrator who blocked you. - Dank (push to talk) 04:30, 25 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You still haven't answered my question. What do you intend to edit if unblocked? Hers fold  (t/a/c) 03:23, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
