User talk:WPathfinder

Welcome!
Hello, WPathfinder, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Www.warriorspathfinder.org, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

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 Tea House, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, followed by your question, 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 Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Kadzi (talk) 15:54, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Www.warriorspathfinder.org


A tag has been placed on Www.warriorspathfinder.org, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Kadzi (talk) 15:54, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Warriors Pathfinder
This is an automated message from MadmanBot. I have performed a search with the contents of Warriors Pathfinder, and it appears to be very similar to another Wikipedia page: Www.warriorspathfinder.org. It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page&mdash; you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case. If you are intentionally trying to rename an article, please see Help:Moving a page for instructions on how to do this without copying and pasting. If you are trying to move or copy content from one article to a different one, please see Copying within Wikipedia and be sure you have acknowledged the duplication of material in an edit summary to preserve attribution history.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. MadmanBot (talk) 15:56, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

Sorry, but...
Non-profit or multi-national, all the same here. Also, the existence of other articles makes no difference (WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS). An important rule here concerns copyright. A large part of your article appeared to be copied from the organisation's website. As it has been published there, it is copyright. Wikipedia is all copyright too, but it is all freely licensed under Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 for use by anyone anywhere. I could see no sign that the website text was licensed this way, and therefore it cannot be used on Wikipedia. The text is there on the website to promote the organisation. That's what the website is for. But Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and we don't allow promotional things. Please see WP:GROUP for notability guidelines, and WP:RS for details of how to provide the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. Wikipedia isn't like Facebook, where you can post (almost...) what you want. This is an encyclopaedia, and there are no rights to a page. I would advise you to concentrate on the references first. Work in your user space at User:Yournewname/DRAFT. )When you have a new account, just put the name in there, save and then click and save. You need a new account because this one's name appears to represent an organisation, and that isn't allowed. You must choose a new name that doesn't contain Warriors or Pathfinders.) When you have the references, you can ask for advice. I'll give you the names of two good rescuers to help you. OK? Admins here can seem to be rather not nice, but most of us try to offer a lifeline when we can. Peridon (talk) 17:04, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

 * You can either use the unblock template for name change, or just start again with a new account - easier... Peridon (talk) 17:07, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, WPathfinder, does not meet our username policy. '''Your username is the only reason for this block. You are welcome to choose a new username (see below) and continue editing.''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Peridon (talk) 17:06, 22 October 2013 (UTC)
