Welcome!

Hello, TheCuttingBallTheater, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as The Cutting Ball Theater, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Cutting Ball Theater
A tag has been placed on The Cutting Ball Theater requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  ttonyb (talk) 23:03, 28 July 2010 (UTC)

Your question about article creation
I'm copying this over from my response on the talk page, as your page is likely to be gone before you see it:

The truth is that if you're part of the Cutting Ball, you should really not be creating its page. It's not a matter of commerce versus non-commerce; Wikipedia policy is that you should not be creating pages about yourself, and there are good reasons for that policy. If you remain sufficiently notable, someone else is likely to create such an article. (There are guides on how to give appropriate permissions for material that appears on another site. However, again, I encourage you to forgo creating a page here for your company.) --Nat Gertler (talk) 23:32, 28 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, one other point while I'm posting to you. I'm afraid that your user name is in conflict with Wikipedia policy. You can review the policy at WP:CORPNAME. --Nat Gertler (talk) 02:12, 29 July 2010 (UTC)

Block
This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, TheCuttingBallTheater, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account.

You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

But why on earth create this account when is not blocked? Did you actually read my message here. I cannot imagine what weird method you used to copy&paste your own website but when I look at User:Mshepherd17/sandbox I see a question mark after each word. I think this suggestion of trying to find a "spronsor" is a good one. Try it. &mdash; RHaworth 02:55, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
