User talk:Afmarcom
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Afmarcom, 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, and which 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. Please read the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.
If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:14, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
It also appears that your account is intended to be used for the purpose of telling the world about an organization, person or cause that you consider worthwhile. Unfortunately, many good causes are not sufficiently notable for their own Wikipedia article, and all users are discouraged from editing in any area where they have an inherent conflict of interest. You may wish to consider one of these alternative outlets.
If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice.
You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock-un|new username|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Fortescue has been reverted.
Your edit here to Fortescue was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Florean_Fortescue) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to an external Wiki, then please note that these links should generally not be included (see 'links to avoid' #12).
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 16:35, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
- Just so you know for this one, there's certain links that Wikipedia don't like & don't generally allow. One of them is other forums (such as Harry Potter Wikia, or any other Wikia), also social media, because the information on these isn't always reliable (as anyone can write things on them). Youtube has copyright issues, so that's a no-go too. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:48, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
Afmarcom
[edit]Hi, Afmarcom, I agree that the web address wasn't really advertising, I was coming to delete the notice when I saw you'd been softblocked because of your username. Basically, as stated above, Wikipedia doesn't allow names of companies/organisation, since user accounts may only be used by 1 user. In order to be unblocked, you need to request a new username, which isn't a company/organisation name e.g. "Mark at Afmarcom" (note that @ symbols are not allowed) would be fine. When this has been accepted, you can edit again. Also, on talkpages, it's best to create a new section at the bottom of their talkpage. Joseph2302 (talk) 16:39, 3 March 2015 (UTC)
