User talk:Cgkennedy

August 2017

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. GAB^gab 17:22, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

You need to give an undertaking to not edit articles related to SignUpGenius, otherwise you won't be unblocked Jimfbleak - talk to me? 19:05, 25 August 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Cgkennedy (block log • active blocks • global blocks • autoblocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))

Requested username:

cgkennedy (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · logs · filter log · block user · block log)

Request reason:

I will not edit articles relating to SignUpGenius. I understand that I have been blocked on the grounds of my username representing a business or organization for which I intended to edit an article page. I do not intend to use this account for advertising or promotion, but simply to contribute helpful information to the Wikipedia community through credible and sound sources.

Accept reason:

The new username is fine; as long as you do not intend to write about your company on Wikipedia I see no reason not to lift the block. Yunshui ^雲 _水 11:32, 8 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of SignUpGenius

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on SignUpGenius, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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.
