[edit] Speedy deletion of Whitby Online Business Directory

A tag has been placed on Whitby Online Business Directory, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Bfigura ^(talk) 05:18, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles, as you did to Whitby Online Business Directory. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" is strongly discouraged. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. Bfigura ^(talk) 05:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. There are two problems here. First, the article appears to be a blatant copyright violation (please see this page for information on how copyrights you own may be incorporated into Wikipedia). Second, the article appears to be written solely to promote a company, and Wikipedia is not for advertising. More information may be found at our Businesses FAQ. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 05:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Make that three problems. From your username, it would appear that you are promoting a site with which you are involved. This tends to create a conflict of interest, which is generally frowned upon, as it compromised Wikipedia's policy on having a neutral point of view. Please refrain from editing articles on subjects with which you have some involvement. Thank you. --Bfigura ^(talk) 05:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Your account has been blocked indefinitely because the name is that of a company, and you have used this account solely to spam aggressively on behalf of one of your clients (see our blocking and username policies for more information). We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia, but users are not allowed to edit with inappropriate usernames and trolling or other disruptive behavior is unacceptable.
