User talk:VerbalVerbatim

Welcome!

Hello, VerbalVerbatim, 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, like Risiprekel, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Risiprekel[edit]

A tag has been placed on Risiprekel requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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 render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for publicity and/or promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals here, you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} below this message box.
Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

{{unblock-spamun|VerbalVerbatim|I understand the reason for my block. I created an article including facts about a company that did not meet the criteria for significance or verifiable information (at the time, being my first article, I did not have a complete understanding of 'significance or verifiable' as it relates to Wikipedia articles, especially articles about companies, which is why I used the external link to prove the brand mentioned in the article, *assuming* [a TERRIBLE thing to do] that this would meet the criteria mentioned in the new article instructions). ALL of this however is MUCH clearer now (I have completed some more reading). I understand (especially now) that the article, because the company does not meet the specified criteria, should have never been created as it seemingly in that case is purely promotional. I simply created the article after looking at other companies in Rhode Island, such as Hasbro, assuming that if I provided factual information and linked to a (significant?) event (the creation of the brand mentioned), things would be fine. As this is clearly not the case, going forward, please remove this username and change it, delete the article and regarding additional contributions, I would like to become a positive contributor to Wikipedia on all topics available (though going forward as to not risk this same circumstance I will be avoiding anything regarding companies, brands, etc. or any data potentially in vanity, especially in consideration of the now very prominent 'Conflict of Interest' guidelines). Thank you for your consideration.}}
