- Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia
- Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
- Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
- Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
- No edit warring or sock puppetry.
- If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
- Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Deliberately adding such content or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
- Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.
The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Edwengineering
[edit]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 User:Edwengineering, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline.

Contested deletion
[edit]This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Edwengineering (talk) 07:57, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Hello, I am not understanding why my page is being flag. It is a description of my company just like there is a description of the Comapany of Haliburton on this site. It appears Haliburton has preferential treatment by the banning of my user page. I was flagged by user Timtrent which never answered my question as to why it was flagged yet, states I was not polite enough so, he he has a user page sharing his opinion of why he joined Wiki? I would be willing to alter my page if someone could inform me to what is the violation. Thank you,
- The page is advertisement for your company and unacceptable as a user page. Somewhere there is a policy. Pull your horns in. You still have your draft page which you need to work on. Perhaps you have missed the distinction between user pages and draft pages? One is about you, the individual. The other is an article you hope will be accepted as an article.
- You need to concentrate on changing your user name, a name that will be blocked as soon as your draft is accepted, if not before.
- And, if you think I have not told you why the draft was not accepted, read my comment on it carefully. Fiddle Faddle 08:27, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
- There is an encyclopedia article about the company Halliburton, but there is no user account User:Halliburton for the company, and no such account would be permitted, because Wikipedia accounts are for individuals only. For that reason, you need to apply for a change of username - see note above - or this account will be blocked. Your username may be based on your real name, or not, as you prefer (see WP:REALNAME for some considerations), but it should not be the name of any group or organization or of any other living person, and should represent only you as an individual. A username of the form "Robert at EDW" would be perfectly acceptable, and would serve to make your affiliation clear.
- Wikipedia user pages are intended for the individual volunteers, who are here to help build the encyclopedia, to say something about themselves and ther Wikipedia activities. They are not for substantial content... that is unrelated to Wikipedia.
- Also, please understand that Wikipedia is not a "notice-board" site like Facebook for companies to tell the world about themselves - Halliburton did not write and do not control that article, as you will see if you read it. Nobody "owns" a Wikipedia article, not its first author and certainly not its subject. If an encyclopedia article about EDW is accepted, others can and will edit it, and you will not be able to insist on your preferred version.
- Even with a new individual username, in writing about EDW you would have, from Wikipedia's point of view, a WP:Conflict of interest, and should read that page and the Wikipedia:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide. JohnCD (talk) 09:25, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
Your draft
[edit]Please see this diff where you will see that my comment about why it failed was left way before your suggestion that I have not done what I said I would do. There is work to be done if you think the organisation is notable. Fiddle Faddle 08:48, 3 July 2014 (UTC)
You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose.
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. Alexf(talk) 12:50, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:EDW Engineering
[edit]Hello Edwengineering. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "EDW Engineering".
The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:EDW Engineering}}
, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 10:00, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
