Speedy deletion nomination of User:FSNBna

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:FSNBna, 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. — rsjaffe 🗣️ 21:32, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Hello, FSNBna. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. A page you created  User:FSNBna has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. It applies to any topic, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources and Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template {{Reflist}} at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems.You can ask for help at Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk and on IRC chat Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Please do not place promotional content anywhere, especially your user page. Thanks -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

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

If you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization, you may request unblock and a username change. In your reasons, you must:

• Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
• 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; and
• Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
• Provide a new username.

To do this, 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.

Please note that the new username you choose cannot already be taken and in use by another account. You can go here to search and see if the username you'd like to choose is available. If the search returns that no global account with that username exists, that means it is available to be taken.

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. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 21:37, 22 April 2024 (UTC)

Requested username:

Fort Sill National Bank (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

Trying to put up a page on the history of FSNB

Decline reason:

That username is a worse violation of WP:USERNAME. Nor have you addressed your violations of WP:COI, WP:PROMO, WP:SOCK, and WP:EVADE. Yamla (talk) 15:04, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I am sorry, I read everything after I had submitted the unblock request and did not realize our username was in issue! I am not trying to promote or advertise any type of business on Wikipedia, just trying to get information I find interesting posted as an article for anyone else who may be interested in some additional history about Ft. Sill.

Requested username:

Globalbrainrot (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I was not the one who created the initial profile, but I did find the requirements for an account with Wiki and didn't realize we were continuously not following guidelines in place. I am not trying to actively promote any sort of business or advertise anything. I'm just trying to submit an article I wrote about the history of a bank I found interesting. Again, I apologize for the several inconveniences this may have caused and do please let me know if I am still violating anything. I am trying to get an article posted.

Decline reason:

You've made this worse, as accounts may not be shared. This is the end of the line for this account. You may request unblock from the other account, but you will need to address your violation of WP:COI and WP:PAID(as an employee) and tell us what you will edit about now that you know you won't be, in the short term, permitted to edit about your bank. 331dot (talk) 15:34, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I understand. Could you assist me in creating my own the correct way then? Again, I apologize for any inconvenience. FSNBna (talk) 15:37, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

My IP is blocked from submitting a request from my personal (aliciamrath) account, so any guidance on next steps would be appreciated. FSNBna (talk) 15:39, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

You need to log out of this account and log in to the other one. The autoblock on the IP should not be preventing this; you already requested unblock once before on that account. 331dot (talk) 15:41, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! FSNBna (talk) 15:41, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Are you employed by this bank? By "I was not the one who created the initial profile", are you saying you didn't create this account? 331dot (talk) 15:19, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

I am employed by this bank, and I am not the one who created the account initially. It was my idea however to post an article about the History of the bank because I do find it interesting. I tried creating a personal Wiki account to post it myself (I had not understood the username could not be any signs of an actual name) but my personal got blocked as well. Again, I have no intention of advertising, I just want the article I wrote put up. Is there anyway you could help get the article up if I can't upload it myself?
