Speedy deletion nomination of User:UPPBooks


I am very new to this - and I did not put weblinks to my company - but it would be disingenuous of me to write or edit info re publishing, editing and writing and not explain my background or level of expertise - so I do think it a little unfair to block me without discussion - I am happy to change my user name if that is an issue - and I did not create an wiki article about my company - I was merely filling in background info about me as a user.

I specifically wrote in my User Bio that we are NOT looking for new authors, our books are full - so how is this an advert?

Is it better to add information to Wikipedia and not have any professional background in the subject under discussion?

I would have thought not.

I do not want people contacting me about their writing, here, I get enough on LinkedIn, Facebook etc - nor did I link to either - I only said, if people doubted my background I am easily googled - so where is the advert???

If I could find a button to challenge I would - if you hadn't disabled Talk on your profile, I would have spoken to you direct - please reconsider your blocking.

I would have thought you would want professionals adding to the freely accessible knowledge pool - but this is very, very off-putting.

As a newbie - there is a lot of information to assimilate at once - so blocking me, because I am new, or you don't like what I have written about myself is a little unfair - just tell me the bits you don't like and I will change them.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which 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 does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text below this notice. Thank you. Missvain (talk) 16:41, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
