User talk:IMP Labs
A tag has been placed on your user page, User:IMP Labs, 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, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.
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 22:36, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
- Why can't I edit Wikipedia?
Because Wikipedia does not allow any form of spam or other promotion of people, products, companies or other groups (even non-commercial or charitable ones). Wikipedia's use for such purposes will result in the blocking of the account involved. Please read Wikipedia:FAQ/Organization and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest for our rules about this.
In addition, user accounts are for individuals only, not for companies or groups or other collective editing. Your username should reflect this. Usernames that appear to be promotional (such as those that make reference to a company or product) violate our username policy and are typically blocked to enforce that policy.
- What can I do now?
If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you will probably not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again. Consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.
If you do intend to make contributions about some other topic, you must convince a Wikipedia administrator that you mean it. To that end, please do the following:
- Add the text
{{unblock|Your reason here}}below this message box. - Replace the text "Your reason here" with your reason to be unblocked. In this reason, you must:
- Tell us what new username you want to use. Please make sure that your new username does not violate our username policy and check that it has not already been taken (click here to search).
- 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.
{{unblock|Your reason here}} below this message box and replace the text "Your reason here" with the reason why. See also Wikipedia:Appealing a block for more information. StarM 23:50, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
IMP Labs (block log • active blocks • global blocks • contribs • deleted contribs • filter log • creation log • change block settings • unblock • checkuser (log))
Request reason:
The IMP labs are not an organization, person or group, company or product. They are an open space for youth and anybody interested in music and media to come share and work in. It is also a classroom for media students and an open lab for creativity. One of the sections of the articles speaks of Dr. Charity Marsh, who is the facilitator of this space. It is thanks to her research that she was able to get funding to create this space. Inner city youth use this space to stay out of trouble. They are creative in a positive way. We just want to show the world of Wikipedia what wonderful things are possible when resources are free to use for everyone. Please do not block the user access or delete the page. Thank you.
Decline reason:
"an open space for youth and anybody interested in music and media to come share and work in." sounds like a marketed term for a group. You aren't allowed to promote your organisation here, no matter how wonderful it is. \ Backslash Forwardslash / {talk} 03:26, 30 June 2009 (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.
Comment from blocking admin
still sounds pretty much I wanna spam my organization to me. I'll leave this for somene else to decide, but I think the WP:COI still comes to play as well as, doesn't have to be a company to be spam StarM 01:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
