User talk:WATCHMN

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:WATCHMN, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user 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 edit this 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. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Katieh5584 (talk) 14:57, 1 May 2014 (UTC)

Contested deletion
This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... This page only intends to give information about a nonprofit organization. Considering that this is a nonprofit organization, the material is not promotional. This information is for people who want to know more about WATCHMN.

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 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. -- Ed (Edgar181) 16:08, 1 May 2014 (UTC)


 * ( Non-administrator observation ) I think this username is okay. You said that your userpage was not promotional because it was about a nonprofit organization. Unfortunately, this is not a good argument to make: "Promotion" on Wikipedia is not limited to businesses (refer to the FAQ for organizations). Once an administrator comes to review this unblock request, you will probably be asked three standard questions, which can be found at Template:Coiq. Review them and the linked pages carefully.

Here are a few key questions:
 * Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business or organization directory?
 * Do you understand conflict of interest?
 * Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable, even in the case of non-profit orgs?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. the panda ₯’ 23:25, 4 May 2014 (UTC)

If unblocked, what edits do you intend to make? Yunshui 雲 水 14:34, 15 May 2014 (UTC)

If unblocked, I will revise the information I posted about WATCHMN, double checking that nothing about the content to be published indicates self-promotion. I will make sure that everything written on the page is just fact.


 * You say 'we' - Wikipedia policy prevents more than one person from sharing an account, which you may not have realised. Also, do you have answers to the bullet-pointed questions above? Olaf Davis (talk) 00:14, 20 May 2014 (UTC)
