Your user page, User:The Campbelltown Convicts/sandbox/The Campbelltown Convicts, has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be advertising which only promoted or publicized 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.

August 2019
There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing. Additionally, if you receive, or expect to receive, compensation for your contributions to Wikipedia, you must disclose who is paying you to edit.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, post the text at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:
 * Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
 * Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block. To do so, please read the guide to appealing blocks, then add the text at the bottom of your talk page, replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason for thinking that the block was an error, and publish the page. 331dot (talk) 10:32, 13 August 2019 (UTC)

Help me!
I have been blocked from using Wikipedia and I'm not sure why. I'm new to the site and I'm not sure how to go about to rectify the situation. I used the name of my book as the username. The book is self published. What can I do?

I understand. But your username seems to promote a company. Wikipedia is not Google AdWords. You need to change your username. And your edits are promoting stuff, and that violates Wikipedia’s policy of NPOV. You have to be neutral.

And, stop the promotional edits. As for the promotional username, I have replacement suggestions for you:


 * Campbelltown
 * Campbell
 * Some campbell convicts
 * The Convicts

 * I would respectfully disagree that the latter two proposed names are appropriate, as they suggest a group. To this user, to request unblock, please follow the instructions in your block notice. 331dot (talk) 02:44, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
