[edit] Welcome

Hello and welcome to Wikipedia! We really can use new content, but some of your recent contributions seem to be advertising or for promotional purposes. Wikipedia does not use advertising in articles. For more information on this, see

If you still have questions, there is a new contributor's help page, or you can write {{helpme}} below this message along with a question and someone will be along to answer it shortly. You may also find the following pages useful for a general introduction to Wikipedia.

[edit] Using a User page for advertising

A new user, User:Cpf, appears to have created a user page dedicated to advertising a real estate venture/agency. Looking through Wikipedia:User page, there does not appear to be any guideline being explicitly violated but advertising does seem to violate the spirit of the guideline. Any other admins have recommendations on what actions, if any, are needed to best handle this type of situation? --Allen3 talk 15:56, 22 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Eliminating these is one of the principal activities of Wikipedia:Miscellany for Deletion. Notify the user about WP:SPAM, and if they don't respond, place {{subst:md1}} on their userpage and take it from there. (Filing an MfD is like filing an AfD, only without the category.) I wouldn't suggest taking action without debating it there first. --ais523 16:06, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Talk to the user about contributing. Suggest that Yellowikis is the place for this sort of thing, and that a Wikipedia user page should relate to one's activities as an encyclopaedist. (At Yellowikis, this business would warrant a main namespace article, although Yellowikis doesn't want straight copies and pastes, either.) If the user shows no interest in contributing, nominate the user page for deletion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion. Uncle G 16:18, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
