User talk:Sparkleprandshinemarketing

Hi again Yes please I would like an account on Wikipedia. That's why I wanted to change my username as I hadn't appreciated anyone could see it. Bio-5 is not my business. This was never about promoting me or Bio-5... I thought the scientific community would like to know that this compound existed and it was the only contribution, article-wise I thought I could sensibly make at this time. I went through about, articles etc - I was searching for ages to find the right way round this site. Sparkleprandshinemarketing (talk) 12:07, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi Administrators - I'm struggling here! Please can I have your help?I'm new to Wikipedia and I used my work username because wikipedia didn't like my name - can i re-register? I tried to access NawlinWiki and Alexf's talk pages to ask for help but you've blocked me before I can find my way around the site or learn more! The content I'm trying to upload is for the greater good. Its a chemical substance which has great implications and applications re stopping the spread of viruses etc. I have scientific images and journal refs to support. Would sincerely appreciate your help learning how I contribute to wikipedia without being blocked/banned etc at my first attempt! Look forward to hearing from you, thanks, Sparkleprandshinemarketing (talk) 22:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

The article Bio-5 Applications has been 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. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because it has been identified as an account used for promotion of a company or group, with a username that implies that this has been done by that company or group. See Business' FAQ and Conflict of interest.

This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia policies. In addition, the use of a username like yours violates our username policy.

You may appeal this block by adding the text  or emailing the administrator who blocked you. Your reason should include your response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy (specifically, understand that accounts are for individuals, not companies or groups, and that your username should reflect this). Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. -- Alexf42 22:24, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

A question
So far, your account has only been used for edits related to your business. Under the conflict of interest guidelines, we all agree not to write about ourselves or our businesses. (We also agree not to write about our garage bands, but that doesn't seem to be a problem here). Now that you know that you won't be writing about your business, do you still want an account on Wikipedia? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 23:23, 24 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi FisherQueen. I'm not here to solely or otherwise promote my business (I used my work email and username because I hadn't appreciated it would show up at all, I  thought it was just for Wikipedia to realise I was a real person).  Bio5 is a chemical compound which can help stop the spread of viruses etc. I've used it myself. I thought it might be helpful for other people to know it exists. Before I'd even edited the piece it was deleted.  For a newcomer trying to learn how to use and navigate wikipedia there seems to be a lot of blocking, refusing etc and not much help :(

 * I don't understand your answer; you don't appear to be expressing any interest in editing articles other than on the subject of Bio5. When I was new, I didn't have much trouble finding the instructions before I created my first article- they're linked in the left sidebar, under 'Help'- but I'm sorry if you didn't see them. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 11:41, 25 August 2008 (UTC)
