User talk:Movingarts

I am unable to "affix the template {{hangon}} to the page", and so am attempting to "put a note on its talk page".

I request a review with and option to edit the material that falls outside of Wikipedia criteria.

This is my first entry in to Wikipedia. I, therefor, am unaware of how to affix the template, or where to retreive it. Does this mean I must start over?

Thank you for your assistance.

Spam in Movingartsdance

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Movingartsdance, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Movingartsdance 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 Movingartsdance, 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.

MOVING ARTS DANCE

• Hi, You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~~~~
• Wikipedia articles must provide independent verifiable sources that they meet the notability guidelines. Youtube and your own website are not independent or reliable
• They must be neutral and not be advertising, your article is pure spam full of of unsourced puffery, eg

1. internationally heralded for their articulate eloquence
2. Blending humor, grace, compassion and sorrow with striking visual effects and athletic physicality
3. the company produces works of dance art that reach into the emotional realities of our time.

and much, much more in a similar vein

• Your references include more spam with links to

1. You can volunteer for Moving Arts Dance
2. Moving Arts Dance events
3. Summer Study with Moving Arts Dance

and so on

• An encyclopaedia does not list everywhere a group has toured, let alone have a list of standing ovations!
• Long sections of (positive only) reviews and quotes are more suited to a theatre poster than an encyclopaedia - pure spam again
• Parts of this read as if copied from a website, although I didn't actually check because it was going to be deleted anyway. If so, it is a breach of copyright. If you believe that the article is not a copyright violation, or if you have permission from the copyright holder to release the content freely under the GNU Free Documentation License (GFDL) then you should do one of the following:

1. If you have permission from the author leave a message explaining the details on the article's talk page and send an email with the message to "permissions-en (at) wikimedia (dot) org". See Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for instructions.
2. If a note on the original website states that re-use is permitted under the GFDL or released into the public domain leave a note at the talk page with a link to where we can find that note.
3. If you own the copyright to the material: send an e-mail from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en(at)wikimedia(dot)org or a postal message to the Wikimedia Foundation permitting re-use under the GFDL, and note that you have done so on the article talk page.
4. Alternatively, you may create a note on your web page releasing the work under the GFDL and then leave a note at the article talk page with a link to the web page details.
5. Otherwise, you are encouraged to rewrite this article in your own words to avoid any copyright infringement. After you do so, you should place a {{hangon}} tag on the article page and leave a note at the article talk page saying you have done so. An administrator will review the new content before taking action.

• It's always recommended that you don't write articles for topics where there is an obvious conflict of interest, since it makes it difficult to write a neutral factual article. Hope this helps, Jimfbleak (talk) 05:38, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
• A couple of things I omitted to say

1. advertising means "promotional" in this context, not necessarily selling a product
2. You can write biographies of living people, but they must fulfil the notability guidelines, be neutral, and must be fully referenced because of the risk of legal action for libel - see George W. Bush, for example. Jimfbleak (talk) 12:00, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

User:Movingarts

A tag has been placed on on your user page, User:Movingarts, 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 13:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

username block

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia, because of concerns that the chosen username may not meet our username policy.

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:

1. 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.
2. At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
3. 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. Usernames that have already been taken are listed here. 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.
