Wikipedia is not a web host for holding personal web pages unrelated to work on building the encyclopaedia. You are, of course, very welcome to start making contributions to the encyclopaedia, in line with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, if you are interested in doing so, but if you wish to have a personal web page, then there are many web sites which provide that sort of service, but Wikipedia is not one of them.

Thank you for your message but I think you should wait a bit until I am finished what I am trying to write since what I wrote was only a test to see how things work. When it is complete you may judge and suggest to delete it or not.

Thank you,

I am writing for someone that inspires people and making a huge effort to protect old people from abuse and ageism. His efforts in Cyprus are one of a kind and he is a very well know for his passionate advocacy for the human reights of older people. How can not this be a subject that should not be included in Wikipedia? This is not an advertisment but rather a call for more people to care about older people. Do you believe that all these things that he is doing is not worth mentioning? I am just wondering. If I am wrong then I understand and delete completely everything. Thank you.

Firstly, you are clearly writing about the president of your organisation (to which your user name refers), and are writing what you want to say, and/or what the subject himself wants you to say, to tell the world about him. That is the very definition of promotion, see WP:YESPROMO. We have no interest in any of that. We almost exclusively want to know what third parties, and more specifically independent and reliable secondary sources, have said about this person. Your job is then to merely summarise what they have previously published.

Secondly, on a related but separate point, Wikipedia is not a platform for advocacy or righting great wrongs, no matter the topic. We are an encyclopaedia, and publish factual articles, with a neutral and impassive point of view, on subjects which are deemed of encyclopaedic value and notable. This draft offers no evidence of notability, as we define it.

I understand.... you are absolutely right, maybe you are more keen in having more material for terrorists, drug abusers, etc etc... don't bother replying CTAOCY (talk) 07:15, 20 October 2024 (UTC)

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because it 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 follow all these steps:

1. Disclose any compensation you may receive for your contributions in accordance with the paid-contribution disclosure requirement; and
2. 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
3. Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked; and
4. Provide a new username.

To do this, insert 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 search to 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 still available.

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:CTAOCY/sandbox

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:CTAOCY/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 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.
