User talk:The V Foundation

November 2012
Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that the username you have chosen, "The V Foundation", seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of something other than yourself. Please note that you may not edit on behalf of a company, group, institution, product, or website, and Wikipedia does not allow usernames that are promotional or have the appearance of shared use. If you are willing to use a personal account, please take a moment to create a new account or request a username change that represents only yourself as an individual. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and remember that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. (www.jimmyv.org) --Hammersoft (talk) 14:31, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The V Foundation for Cancer Research


A tag has been placed on The V Foundation for Cancer Research, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hammersoft (talk) 14:41, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

The V Foundation for Cancer Research
Please understand; we are not hostile towards the creation of an article on a subject if it can be written neutrally, depending largely on secondary sources. Such sources do seem to exist. Wikipedia however is not a platform on which to promote your company. When you have a conflict of interest, it can be very difficult to write an article about your company. Is it possible? Yes, but you must be exceedingly careful. As is, you've copied content from your company's website here which is both non-neutral and a copyright violation. We do not accept this sort of editing which is why the article has been tagged for deletion. If you are willing to carefully read, understand, and follow the instructions that are being given to you then there is hope you may be able to write substantial elements of the article. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:00, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

I'm trying my best to do so but I am having a hard time editing it and filling out quickly. I was just testing it out and I am getting so many messages that I guess I will delete it. I have never created a Wikipedia page at all. I'm doing the best I can.
 * I understand your frustration. It can be very daunting. Wikipedia is a place full of rules, procedures, policies. You would be well served by reading the "Creating articles" section above with the note left by Anbu121. Also, be aware you should sign notes you leave on any talk page with  --~  . --Hammersoft (talk) 15:19, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, please be aware that I've reported this username as a violation of our username policy. It is likely that this account will soon be blocked. This does not mean you can not edit here. I recommend you start an account representing only yourself, not any entity you are affiliated with. If you do, get in touch with me on my talk page and I'll be happy to assist you with creating this article. --Hammersoft (talk) 15:28, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. If you prefer to be unblocked for the purpose of changing your username to a username which complies with our username policy, so that your contributions with this username are recorded as contributions of your new username and rather than creating a new account, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice instead. Thank you. Alexf(talk) 15:42, 7 November 2012 (UTC)
