Darwenpool

Welcome!

Hello, Darwenpool, 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 Darwen Pool Association, 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 Darwen Pool Association

A tag has been placed on Darwen Pool Association, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. I42 (talk) 18:59, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Darwen. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Conflict of interest

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. 24.4.101.72 (talk) 19:01, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, Darwenpool, may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it it is being used to promote an organisation with the same name. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may file for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account and use that for editing. Thank you. I42 (talk) 19:02, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

This is the final warning that you will receive regarding your disruptive edits, such as this edit you made to Darwen Pool Association. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing without further notice. Seahorseruler ^{(Talk Page) (Contribs) (Report a Vandal)} 19:08, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Username, etc

I note that you have asked to change you username. This is correct and appropriate. I also note the new name you have chosen is a real name, and you stated "I was think of not declaring may name but as I am new to Wikipedia I apologise". You do not need to give your real name - in fact most (but not all) editors do all they can to protect their real identity. If you do not wish to be identified you do not need to be.

The level 4 warning above given by Seahorseruler is inappropriate and I have asked them to remove it.

The article you are creating about Darwen Pool Association fails to credibly assert any notability to the club. Wikipedia does not accept articles about every club and association there is - see WP:N and the links in the welcome message above.

However ...

You currently appear to be engaged in an edit war according to the reverts you have made on Darwen. Note that the three-revert rule prohibits making more than three reversions on a single page within a 24-hour period. Additionally, users who perform several reversions in content disputes may be blocked for edit warring even if they do not technically violate the three-revert rule. When in dispute with another editor you should first try to discuss controversial changes to work towards wording and content that gains a consensus among editors. Should that prove unsuccessful, you are encouraged to seek dispute resolution, and in some cases it may be appropriate to request page protection. If the edit warring continues, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. You have already exceeded 3RR. Please read the above links and note that further addition of the same content to the article will likely lead to a block. I42 (talk) 19:50, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Darwen Pool Association. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I42 (talk) 19:52, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

Hi. There is a question for you at Wikipedia:Changing username/Simple#Darwenpool_.E2.86.92_MartinWest.   — Jeff G. ツ 21:24, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because your username, Darwenpool, 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).

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. 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:

1. Adding {{unblock-un|your new username here}} 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.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. 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 Wikipedia:Changing username.

If you feel that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. -- Cirt (talk) 19:43, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
