User talk:Allcottonandlinen

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Allcottonandlinen, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:Allcottonandlinen, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.

Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Allcottonandlinen[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Allcottonandlinen, 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 advertising which only promotes or publicises someone or something. Promotional editing of any kind is not permitted, whether it be promotion of a person, company, product, group, service, belief, or anything else. This 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 or advertising space. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

The user page was not meant to be promotional. Changes were to be made to adhere to the guidelines. Kindly unblock the account to allow us to do make the necessary changes. Allcottonandlinen (talk) 08:40, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

August 2022[edit]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure requirement.
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the kind of edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. ✗plicit 12:07, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Request reason:

the account was not created for promotional purposes. The user page was meant to be changed and edited to adhere to the guidelines. Kindly unblock the account and allow us to do the necessary changes. Allcottonandlinen (talk) 08:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

You have not proposed a new username as instructed; accounts are strictly single person use only and that must be reflected in the username(though your real name is not required). I think you may be confused- you edited your user page, which is not article space, but a space for the operator of the account to tell about themselves as a Wikipeida editor or user. New users cannot directly create articles in the encyclopedia and must use Articles for Creation. It's promotional to tell about the existence of your company. Wikipedia is not a place for companies to tell the world about themselves(even if you are not soliciting or selling something) nor is it a directory of companies where mere existence warrants a mention. This is an encyclopedia with criteria for inclusion, called notability(such as the definition of a notable company). A company merits an article if it recieves significant coverage in independent reliable sources that have chosen on their own to write about it, showing how the company meets that notability definition. Staff interviews, the company website, press releases, announcements of routine activities, and the like do not establish notability. Please read about conflict of interest and paid editing(which includes employment). You won't be unblocked to, in the short term, edit about your company. If that is your only goal here, this is the end of the road. If you are interested in being a general contributor and editing about topics unrelated to your company or its field, please tell us what. I am declining your request. 331dot (talk) 08:44, 29 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
