User talk:Threewords

Please do not keep removing the speedy delete tag from 3words. It has been added because the article does not assert why the band is notable. If it is, you need to add that content to the article. See WP:BAND. NawlinWiki 13:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, I didn't mean to copy and paste the intro from WP:BAND in your article. I meant, explain how your band meets the criteria in WP:BAND. If your band is notable, you have to explain why, in your article. NawlinWiki 14:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

OK, this is a band that has played once, at someone's house, and is currently "on hiatus"? That would not be a notable band. I see that you have a MySpace page -- that is the better way to promote your band. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, which means article subjects must already be notable. If and when the band becomes notable, feel free to recreate the article. NawlinWiki 14:24, 19 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended or used for promotional purposes. Please read the following carefully.

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Because your account was used for promotion of a company or organization with a username that promotes or implies affiliation with that company or organization. Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Using Wikipedia for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for our policies about this.

In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

Add the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box.
Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:

Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
Convince us that you understand the reason for your block and that you will not repeat the edits for which you were blocked.
Describe in general terms the contributions that you intend to make if you are unblocked.

If instead you believe that you have been blocked by mistake (i.e., you have not in fact been using Wikipedia for promotional purposes), please write {{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Wikipedia:Appealing a block for more information. -- Mufka ^(u) ^(t) ^(c) 11:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
