User talk:CleanOceanProject

Thank you for unblocking me, but I do not understand how I have to change my username? I read the "Changing Username" page but I cannot find anything about actually applying for a name change? I hope somebody reads this because I'm not even sure I'm supposed to post it on this page? I'm a little confused. When will I know that my username is changed and how will this affect my log in? Please help!

This user's request to be unblocked to request a change in username has been reviewed by an administrator, who accepted the request.

CleanOceanProject (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

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

Request reason:

I understand how my Cleanoceanproject page could have been perceived as overly enthusiastic or publicity. I would like to adjust my text to a more neutral tone. I'm passionate about ocean preservation and the NGO inspired me a lot. CleanOceanProject is no different from the partner organisations Oceana and Surfrider Foundation who are also non-profit. But I see why my choice of words may have triggered the "publicity alert". If only I could be unblocked and re-do the article, I assure you it will be in another tone of voice. I would like to contribute to these NGO's for ocean preservation by providing accurate information about how they work. I'm convinced that many people have the wrong idea of how these kinds of platforms work to protect the ocean. I'm guilty for trying to make people like Clean Ocean Project as much as I do, but I will not make the same mistake again.

Accept reason:

Allowing username change to requested username. Please put this request in at Wikipedia:Changing username as soon as possible to avoid re-blocking. Daniel Case (talk) 18:03, 22 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

CleanOceanProject (talk) 13:05, 20 November 2013 (UTC) Here are a few key questions:[reply]

Do you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and not a business directory?
Do you understand conflict of interest?
Do you understand that to be considered for an encyclopedia article, the subject must be notable?

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. Daniel Case (talk) 03:30, 21 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Clean ocean project

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Clean ocean project, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Drm310 (talk) 16:30, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on your sandbox, User:CleanOceanProject/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 a company, product, group or service, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages. Although you may start a draft about your company, 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: which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the 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 the page's talk 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. Drm310 (talk) 16:31, 19 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]
