User talk:TRprodeditor

Welcome!
Hello, TRprodeditor, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:TRprodeditor, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:TRprodeditor


A tag has been placed on your user page, User:TRprodeditor, 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 advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This 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 or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:22, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

 Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: 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, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text  at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must: Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text  at the bottom of your talk page.

You haven't proposed a new username. Do you understand that the main purpose of Wikipedia is to summarize what independent reliable sources say about a topic, not what it says about itself? In other words, we would need sources written by others that say what your company history is, not what it considers to be its own history. This does not include press releases, staff interviews, announcements of routine business activities, or other primary sources. I just want you to understand what you are getting into. 331dot (talk) 20:54, 3 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for reviewing my appeal! My username identifies my position at the company (production editor), and I've been the only person with that position since it was created, so it shouldn't violate the username policy. I understand your concern about the nature of contributing to Wikipedia; I created the account to fill in some events in the History section (a few acquisitions, and I don't think there's any way to jazz them up for anyone not in the business) and update the logo (it changed last year). Updating the History section will require a couple of press releases, but I'm only using them for dates and business names, which are non-controversial details. As for the AutoTrader.ca section, I'll make suggestions in the Talk page for possible additions (I'll just provide the sources, not the content itself). tl;dr: I love the marketing team, but I'm not doing their job for them.

 * I understand the reason the appeal was declined and accept the decision. Thanks again for taking the time to review the block!
