Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! TheLetterM (talk) 02:33, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Ben allan acs
A tag has been placed on Ben allan acs, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

FYI conflict of interest guideline
If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. For more details about what, exactly, constitutes a conflict of interest, please see our conflict of interest guidelines. — Athaenara ✉  02:51, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia, because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes of a company or group. See FAQ/Organization and Conflict of interest''.

In addition, accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing, and your username should reflect this.

Wikipedia is not a promotion website; this kind of activity is considered spam on Wikipedia, and forbidden by policies, and usernames that appear to be promotional also violate our username policy. Editing on Wikipedia is not intended to be used to promote anyone, or anything, and its use for that purpose will result in blocking of the account involved.

If you feel that there has been a mistake, please appeal this block by adding the text   or contacting the administrator who has blocked you. Your reason should include a clear response to this issue and a new username you wish to adopt that does not violate our username policy. Please check that your new username has not already been taken here.


 * Can you choose a new username that does not sound like a company or group? If so, this might simplify the process of unblocking your account. Thanks, EdJohnston (talk) 01:32, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
 * May I ask who 'we' are? Accounts on Wikipedia are for individuals and not for organisations, and therefore should only be used by one person. I am curious too as to why this request for unblocking has taken two and a half years to appear. Peridon (talk) 10:24, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

We are an Australian based film & television production company and we apologise for the misunderstanding of not realising that Wikipedia is only for individuals. I have a Wikipedia account as an individual which I cannot use because it is on the same IP address as this blocked account. My name is Ben Allan, I wish we had never published that page and the reason that it has taken two and a half years to realise we were blocked is that The Film Bakery is run by my wife and I and we have a two and a half year old son and are still on the waiting list for child-care.

 * If you have a personal account for Ben Allan that is otherwise in good standing, you could ask for that to be unblocked by posting the 'unblock' template on its talk page. If your wife is the person who operates The Film Bakery she can ask for her own account, which will be dedicated to her personal use. EdJohnston (talk) 16:37, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

The article Ben Allan (cinematographer) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No evidence of notability. No reliable sources are cited, and I can find no sign of significant reliable independent sources anywhere. Tagged for sources for three months, with no improvement.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

We simply haven't been checking our Wikipedia entries until just recently and didn't have the email alerts set. We are still learning about Wikipedia but are very knowledgeable in our fields. Here are a few of links that we've been able to find quickly to support this article: From Inside Film (trade journal) Mention in professional discussion group 8 years ago Mention of demonstrating a new Sony camera at it's launch We can find more but this should give you some indication. I will ask for my personal account to be unblocked and am happy to accept guidance on how to improve the offending article as suggested above. Thefilmbakery (talk) 21:40, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
