Welcome![edit]
Hello, Njdvmajd1974, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Nathan J. Dougles Veldhuis, M.A., J.D., may not conform to some of Wikipedia's content policies and may not be retained. In short, the topic of an article must be notable and have already been the subject of publication by reliable and independent sources.
Please review Your first article for an overview of the article creation process. The Article Wizard is available to help you create an article, where it will be reviewed and considered for publication. For information on how to request a new article that can be created by someone else, see Requested articles. If you are stuck, come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can help you through the processes.

Speedy deletion nomination of Nathan J. Dougles Veldhuis, M.A., J.D.[edit]
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 Nathan J. Dougles Veldhuis, M.A., J.D. requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a real person or group of people that does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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 deleted 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. JTtheOG (talk) 04:36, 11 January 2021 (UTC)
Contesting speedy deletion[edit]
This is important content to identify the use of the surname “Veldhuis” in the United States and broaden the extent of examples provided, limited solely to persons born in NED. Nathan J. D. Veldhuis is a first generation American and certainly its inclusion only enhances the completion of descriptive examples of persons with the surname, “Veldhuis.” Njdvmajd1974 (talk) 04:43, 11 January 2021 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Nathan J. Dougles Veldhuis, M.A., J.D., 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.

Conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, Njdvmajd1974. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. We ask that you:
- avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization or competitors;
- propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the {{request edit}} template);
- disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see Wikipedia:Conflict of interest#How to disclose a COI);
- avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see WP:Spam);
- do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.
In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Wikipedia:Paid-contribution disclosure.
Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you. – Athaenara ✉ 00:15, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Blocked[edit]

Please restore my editing privileges[edit]
Njdvmajd1974 (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
I must have misunderstood the severity of what I was trying to do in adding what I did to Wikipedia. I do not need to self-promote through the encyclopedia, as I pay to do that privately, and can be found ubiquitously on the web (as the administrators who blocked me may well have noted). I was trying to contribute to the surname “Veldhuis”, which is my last name and I was trying to add credibility to my entry by describing myself. Believe it or not, I was actually trying to address the previous concerns raised when I tried to add information. In doing what I thought would be helpful to keeping the information in the encyclopedia, I have obviously angered the administrators. I was not trying to make things worse. I believe I may well have very useful information to contribute to the encyclopedia (not the information that has been deleted—I’ve learned my lesson). I would ask that my editing privileges be restored with the understanding that I will not violate these rules again. I truly was trying to address the original criticism’s substance in adding all of that detail. Many thanks. Njdvmajd1974 (talk) 01:07, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Decline reason:
Noting that there had yet been no response from other administrators to the unblock request after several hours, I read it closely two more times and it struck me that there was something missing, a point that we look for which is addressed in Wikipedia:Guide to appealing blocks: "... Say how you intend to help contribute to the encyclopedia after you are unblocked..." User:Njdvmajd1974: is there anything you can tell us about that? – Athaenara ✉ 12:04, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.

Request reason:
Sure. I have a graduate degree in biomedical ethics, I am a lawyer who enjoys an excellent reputation in the Commonwealth of a Virginia, the District of Columbia and within a number of national legal groups and an undergraduate degree in Literature and Philosophy. I don’t know of anything specific I intend to add or edit at the moment. I signed up initially to add the information that has been deleted, and which I now know are viewed as inappropriate contributions. I have lived quite a rich and expansive life and may well have information to add to existing pages, or to create a new one. To the extent you are asking for this specifically, one way for me to contribute, for example, could be to create entries on new, or as yet unaddressed, legal issues. I would think that my expertise would be useful to contribute to an encyclopedia which is, de facto, the “people’s encyclopedia,” where virtually anyone can contribute reliable content to help it grow and evolve. I could add very helpful, useful, educational and practical information related to topics of professional and personal interest to me in areas like law, ethics and medicine, literature, etc. I have degrees, both undergraduate, graduate, and professional in each of those areas, for example. Even if I never contribute again, which may or may not be true, I would only like the editorial privileges I had in the first instance restored so I can help contribute to the encyclopedia, if appropriate, to the extent my knowledge base and contribution would be helpful, educational, etc. Mine was only an error, misunderstanding the rules now brought to my intention—certainly nothing nefarious or to damage the credibility of the encyclopedia. My intent was quite the opposite. Njdvmajd1974 (talk) 13:16, 12 May 2021 (UTC)
Accept reason:
I don't know why this was neglected for so long, other than a apparent bias toward terseness among those of us who volunteer to help out with unblock requests. A certain intellectual laziness on our parts, perhaps? Sorry this took so long, and welcome. --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 00:06, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
Many thanks to you, and again, my apologies. Could you help me quickly? Does this mean I am now “unblocked?” I understand my mistake(s) and appreciate your responding to me. To the extent I contribute anything further, I will be sure it is accurate, useful and in compliance with the rules. Again, thanks.
Nathan Njdvmajd1974 (talk) 00:24, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
- You are completely unblocked, and may proceed as you wish. Enjoy! --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇 00:32, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
Many thanks! Cheers. Njdvmajd1974 (talk) 00:40, 10 June 2021 (UTC)
Checking unblock[edit]
I am checking to see if my most recent message to the admins has been considered. I do not believe my last message, addressing admin concerns, elicited any response. Many thanks, Nathan Njdvmajd1974 (talk) 04:00, 1 June 2021 (UTC)
