Welcome!

Hello, Greenarama Home Show, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Greenarama Home Show, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! WuhWuzDat 15:19, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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 Greenarama Home Show, 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, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WuhWuzDat 15:19, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

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

Why can't I edit Wikipedia?

Your account's edits and/or username indicate that it is being used on behalf of a company, group, celebrity or other well-known individual, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. The edits may have violated one or more of our rules on spamming, which include: adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, and using Wikipedia for promotion. Wikipedia has many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, but such groups are generally discouraged from using Wikipedia to write about themselves. In addition, usernames like yours are disallowed under our username policy.

Am I allowed to make these edits if I change my username?

Probably not. See WP:FAQ/Organizations for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. Also, review the conflict of interest guidance to see the kinds of limitations you would have to obey if you did want to continue editing about your company, group, or organization. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

What can I do now?

You are still welcome to write about something other than your company or organization. If you do intend to make useful contributions on some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:

  • Add the text {{unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here}} on your user talk page.
  • Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with a new username you are willing to use. See Special:Listusers 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 this reason, you must:
  • 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 you believe this block was made in error, please see how to appeal a block. TNXMan 15:25, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

The reason for the creation of this page is to let people know about an event that is happening. I'm in no way trying to promote it, I only want to give another place for curious residents to learn the facts about what is going on and to be able to link to other useful sights. Because you find it inappropriate, I am willing to take suggestions on how to make it so that it will not be deleted. However, this page contains JUST THE FACTS, which I thought was what Wikipedia was all about. When creating this page, I modeled it after a current page you have posted: Northwest Flower and Garden Show. We contain the same information as this page and they have not been deleted. Please let me know what I can do to keep and publish my page. Thanks. Greenarama Home Show (talk) 15:36, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Too close to blocked name. — Daniel Case (talk) 15:41, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requested username:

Request reason:

Thank you for considering lifting the block and helping me edit the page. Greenarama Home Show is the name of the event. Obviously, if we change the name too much, no one will be able to find us. The new name now leads with the community that the event is taking place in. I hope this is sufficient to be published. Greenarama Home Show (talk) 16:23, 4 March 2011 (UTC)

Decline reason:

You seem to be confused; you are not proposing a name for your article, you are prospoing a name for your user account here which may not be promotional in any way. Please select a name that has nothing to do with your event. Once that is sorted out, we can discuss how to create a draft article, but if your sole intention is to create promotional material here, it may not be a good idea to unblock.

Requested username:

Request reason:

I'm so sorry I completely misunderstood. How about this username? This site isn't for promotional material; it truly is to give non-biased information about what is going on in the community. Thanks for being patient. What is my next step?

Decline reason:

This request for unblocking has been declined due to your history of vandalism and/or disruption to this encyclopedia. However, we are willing to give you another chance provided that you can earn back the trust of the Wikipedia community. To be unblocked you need to demonstrate that you are willing and able to contribute positively to Wikipedia. You can do this by:
  • Familiarizing yourself with our basic rules.
  • Read our guide to improving articles
  • Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
  • Click the Edit tab at the top of that article and scroll down past the message informing you of your block.
  • Copy the source of that article and paste it to the bottom of your talk page under a new top-level heading (like this: = [[Article title]] =) and save the page before you improve it.
  • Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
  • When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
    • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.
If you need help while working with your proposed edits, you may add "{{helpme|your question here}}" to your talk page. Thank you. --Selket Talk 20:50, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few key questions:

You are currently blocked because your username appears directly related to a company, group or product that you have been promoting, contrary to the username policy. Changing the username will not allow you to violate the 3 important principles above. --jpgordon::==( o ) 16:59, 4 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not really sure what else I can do with my article and I'm not sure how to find another article that I could fix. Well there are tons of new article on WIkipedia. Also your username is of concern. --Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 19:56, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme|1. How do I go about changing my username? 2. Do I have to create an entirely new account? And 3. how do I edit another page when I'm unable to contribute anything because of my block?}} Added numbers, to answer more clearly below  Chzz  ►  21:03, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well you could try copy and pasting the article at User:Greenarma Home Show/prove. Well you could try WP:RENAME to rename your article. --Tyw7  (☎ Contact me! • Contributions)   Changing the world one edit at a time! 20:58, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict), and I do not understand the answer given above

1. Don't worry about that for now; deal with the block first. Don't try to create a new account to circumvent the block; that will just add to the problems. So deal with the issues first - see point 3

2. No

3. As stated above,

  • Pick any pre-existing article you wish to improve.
  • Click the Edit tab at the top of that article and scroll down past the message informing you of your block.
  • Copy the source of that article and paste it to the bottom of your talk page under a new top-level heading (like this: = [[Article title]] =) and save the page before you improve it.
  • Propose some significant and well researched improvements to your article by editing your personal copy of the article. Please note that we are not looking for basic typo corrections, or small unreferenced additions; your edits should be substantial, and reflect relevant policies.
  • When you are done with your work, re-request unblocking and an administrator will review your proposed edits.
    • If we (including the original blocking admin) are convinced that your proposed edits will improve Wikipedia as an encyclopedia, you will be unblocked.

...if you can show us understanding of the policies, by doing this, your account could be unblocked - and then you can easily change user-name.  Chzz  ►  21:03, 7 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I want to explain the differences on how organic food is labeled. 100% organic means that the product in its entirety must be organic, organic means that at least 95% of the product must be organic, made with organic ingredients means only 70% of the product must be organic, contains organic ingredients means it is less than 70% organic and natural does not mean the same as organic, be must be a true label.

OK, and, what reliable sources will you use to support these claims? Do you understand the core policy, WP:V?  Chzz  ►  06:53, 8 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Above I posted information about organic labels to add to the organic page; what is my next step? Greenarama Home Show (talk) 16:35, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that information is already in the Organic certification article, linked from the Organic food article. Don't forget that information is only relevant for North America, which is why it's in that section WormTT 17:40, 11 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
