User talk:Vermont Sports Car

Welcome![edit]

Hello, Vermont Sports Car, 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:Vermont Sports Car, 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:Vermont Sports Car[edit]

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Vermont Sports Car, 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.

Hello,

Apologies for going about uploading this information incorrectly. I am new to wikipedia as a contributor. My goal with uploading the information (now blocked) was to add a page for the business. I would like to re-visit how to do this and if you have any suggestion on how to do this as the way I thought I was doing it seems to be incorrect.

Thanks Vermont Sports Car (talk) 16:39, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

October 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.

Request reason:

Hello - I would like to appeal my user block. I am new to Wikipedia. My intentions were not to go against community guidelines. My purpose in creating the account was to add information about Vermont Sportscar so the greater Wikipedia community can learn about what we do. The intent was not for promotion, but rather education. I look forward to resolving this.

Decline reason:

That username still clearly stands for Vermont Sports Car. Additionally, "add information about Vermont Sportscar so the greater Wikipedia community can learn about what we do" is exactly WP:PROMO. You won't be unblocked to do this. If this is your only goal, this is the end of the line. If you wish to write about something for which you do not have a conflict of interest, let us know what you plan to write about instead and pick a new username, one that adheres to WP:USERNAME.

How do I go about creating a page in the correct manner adhering to Wikipedia's community guidelines. I am not looking to go against community guidelines, I just need some guidance on how to do this in the correct manner. Thank you. Vermont Sports Car (talk) 17:24, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

So long as you have no conflict of interest (WP:COI), WP:AFC describes how to create an article. Again, though, you won't be unblocked to write about Vermont SportsCar. Yes, this makes Wikipedia very different from other sites. Wikipedia's goal isn't to inform people about businesses. There's nothing wrong with that, it's just not what Wikipedia is for. --Yamla (talk) 17:46, 4 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
