[edit] Message to Admin and/or Archive2 and/or Calton
Dear Admin/Philippe/Calton, I'm obviously new to Wikipedia and after reading up on the different articles and policies you brought to my attention, I understand the reason for deleting this user page and disabling my IP address from any editing. I was under the impression that the userpage was meant to indicate the user's background so as to validate its edits and contributions. I get now that since it's public, the information I posted on it is not very agreeable.
There are many, many trees in the forest that is called Wikipedia, that is: many rules, policies etc, and therefor I would like to ask for your advice. I created the userpage to validate the source of the article I submitted (bio page Peggy Dylan) and edits I made on another page in relation to it (firewalking). Now that I am blocked I am unable to contest the speedy deletion of the article plus the edits by another wikipedia administrator User:Orangemike, and I believe there's many reasons to do so. Or maybe I'm just unable to find a way to contact him directly (newbee again). If you could fill me in on what my options are here that would be greatly appreciated. I'm also in the dark as to what to do about the userpage; ask for renaming it and post only a personal referrence?
many thanks for your time,

[edit] User:Sundoor
A tag has been placed on on your user page, User:Sundoor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, and which 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. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam and the guidelines on user pages.
If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 03:02, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

- This is often not a reflection on the user, and you are encouraged to choose a new account name which does meet our guidelines and are invited to contribute to Wikipedia under an appropriate username. If you feel this block was made in error, you may quickly and easily appeal it - see below.
Our username policy provides guidance on selecting your username. In brief, usernames should not be offensive, disruptive, promotional, related to a 'real-world' group or organization, confusing, or misleading.
If you have already made edits and wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name you may request a change in username which is quick and easy. To do so, please follow these directions:
-
- Add {{unblock-un|your new username here}} below. This is possible because even when you are blocked, you can still edit your own talk page.
- At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
- Please note, you may only request a name that is not already in use. The account is created upon acceptance – do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change since we can far easier allocate your new name to you, if it is not yet used. For more information, please visit Wikipedia:Changing username.
Last, the automated software systems that prevent vandalism may have been activated, which can cause new account creation to be blocked also. If you have not acted in a deliberately inappropriate manner, please let us know if this happens, and we will deactivate the block as soon as possible. You may also appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|your reason here}} below or emailing the administrator who blocked you.
[edit] Spam in Peggy Dylan
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Peggy Dylan, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Peggy Dylan is blatant advertising for a company, product, group, service or person that would require a substantial rewrite in order to become an encyclopedia article.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Peggy Dylan, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.
