Speedy deletion nomination of Queen's International Leadership Conference[edit]

A tag has been placed on Queen's International Leadership Conference requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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.

Queen's International Leadership Conference[edit]

Hello there, I have deleted your Queen's International Leadership Conference article for a couple of reasons. One there is no evidence of importance, it has not even happened yet, and two , it looks like a promotion.

To answer your request for help, citations are done with <ref>footnote</ref> tags after the bit you want a footnote on. At the end of the article you put a ==References== section with a <references/> tag. this will include the foot notes, which can be links to web sites or names of books or any suitable thing. Talk to me if you want to discuss this further! Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:00, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, you remarked that there is no evidence of importance for "Queen's International Leadership Conference." Did you read up on the initiative? Though something may not have ocurred doesn't make it trivial or unimportant. The conference may not have taken place, but the work and collaboration of this initiative has been going on for over a year. In this day and age, organizations that are entirely not-for-profit (those that are entirely) volunteering their services for the betterment of humanity should not be taken lightly. In no way shape or form did I type anything that contained biases. What leads you to believe that it is promotion otherwise? If you are solely using my username to represent this article as promotions, in all fairness you aren't you displaying a bias yourself? There is also a fine line in promotion, when what your promoting is for the betterment of Global society. Challenging your idea of importance, what makes something important to you? Commercialism; wide eyes in public media? This conference has over 400 active members that are constantly contributing their time, energy and even money for a cause which they feel is important; a cause dedicated to the betterment of leaders tomorrow. Is that of importance? I may not be experienced enough in the creation of Wikipedia articles, but please think twice about classifying a cause as unimportant, without reflecting on what has been leading up the vision of the cause.--Qilc (talk) 11:18, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There was another problem too, in that some of the text was copied off the web site. To counteract this problem the article should be written with new wording that does not match existing web sites. Do you deny that your username is something to do with the conference title? It would be best if you used a new name that did not match an organisation, but was your personal username. I will not block you because you have not caused problems yet. The name s doe snot have to be your actual name though. I should have said that your article had no claim of importance. If you can say why it is important, not a copy of another text, and is not a promotion you are welcome to recreate the article. If you are uncertain about it, try User:Qilc/sandbox. I hope you can make a positive contribution. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:54, 29 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked 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, or organization for purposes of promotion and/or publicity. You have violated one or more of our rules, including rules against adding inappropriate external links, posting advertisements, using Wikipedia for promotion, and editing inappropriately with a conflict of interest. This kind of activity is considered spamming and is forbidden by Wikipedia's policies. Although Wikipedia has a great many articles on companies, groups, and organizations, it is considered inappropriate for such groups to use 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 Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization for a helpful list of frequently asked questions by people in your position. See Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for 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 here, 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}} below this message box.
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.
