Welcome!

[edit]

Hello, SURVIVORS2017!, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as User:SURVIVORS2017!/sandbox/Survivors of Torture, International, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:SURVIVORS2017!/sandbox/Survivors of Torture, International, 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. 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 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. — fortunavelut luna 07:28, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

There have been two problems with this account: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business or other organisation or group, which is also against policy, as an account must be for just one person. Because of those problems, the account has been blocked indefinitely from editing.

If you intend to make useful contributions about some topic other than your business or organisation, you may request an unblock. To do so, 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 a new username you are willing to use. See Special:CentralAuth to search for available usernames. Your new username will need to meet our username policy. Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In that reason, you must:

  • 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.
  • Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.
If you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} at the bottom of your talk page, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Alex ShihTalk 07:32, 22 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

It was not my intention for the article to be promotional; I intended it to be informative. What edits should I make to the article so as not to be "promotional?" What specific language should I change? This is my first wiki article, so I am a novice. Could I submit a draft for approval before the page goes live? SURVIVORS2017!

Requested username:

Request reason:

I just now saw the Wikipedia FAQ for organizations. For transparency's sake, I am the Community Relations Intern for Survivors of Torture, International, the organization of which the article is about. I saw that other similar organizations have wiki pages including Program for Victims of Torture and Center for Victims of Torture, and think Survivors of Torture, International should also have one. I would like to have other editors provide feedback on the article on Survivors of Torture.

Decline reason:

Wikipedia is a volunteer curated encyclopedia; those other articles are (or at least, should have been) written by volunteer editors because the Wikipedia community believes they merit inclusion. You will not be unblocked unless you are here to contribute to the broader encyclopedia. MER-C 04:57, 24 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]
