Speedy deletion nomination of User:Evolutionmining/sandbox
edit
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Evolutionmining/sandbox, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service. 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. | Uncle Milty | talk | 15:41, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

There have been two problems with this account: 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 or other organisation or group or a web site, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.
If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth 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 that reason, you must:
- 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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 16:34, 17 December 2017 (UTC)

Request reason:
Have been told I have two problems with my account. Apologies I did not realise that my username could not represent a company and obviously I didn't read enough when I made the account a while ago. I'm happy to change my account name to geo70. Secondly, the information above says that the account has been used for advertising or promotion. I had been asked to add factual information about the company, Evolution Mining to wikipedia and also approached by people wanting to charge to add this information to wikipedia and thus the information I added was a basic summary with only information that has been obtained from public reports submitted to the ASX stock exchange. I did read the rules before submitting this and thought that I complied and also checked by looking at a similar company, Newcrest Mining and thought that the information provided was comparable. I'm happy to make any changes if you still think that it is advertising or promotion as that was not my intention.
Decline reason:
I rather doubt there's any independent source describing the company as "leading" and "growth-focused" - that's staight from their own press releases (and yes, a press release submitted to ASX is still a press release). If you don't realize such language is promotional, your conflict of interest is far too strong to write neutrally about this subject. Huon (talk) 01:30, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
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.
