User talk:ILEVEL Solutions

A tag has been placed on your user page, User:ILEVEL Solutions, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be blatant advertising which only promotes or publicises a company, product, group or service, 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 guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for Organizations.

If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: Click here to contest this speedy deletion which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy deletion candidate). Doing so will take you to your user talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also edit this page directly to give your reasons, 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 help make it encyclopedic. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Finngall ^talk 17:50, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Because odds are they have sources and are neutrally-written. Wikipedia is not a listing site and we do not appreciate being treated as one. —Jeremy v^_^v ^Bori! 00:30, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, you need to pick a new username in the template (so if you want xyz, you have to put in {{unblock-spamun|xyz|reason}} instead of your current username. Origamite^ⓣⓒ 06:32, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --ILEVEL Solutions (talk) 17:56, 24 March 2015 (UTC) similar to this company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EFront_Financial_Solutions I was just creating a page about my company. I will update some text to make sure it's just "about my company," but I had no intention of advertising whatsoever....[reply]

Also, my company name should be iLEVEL with a lower case i... can you confirm how i can fix?

In answer to the second, simpler part: All articles and usernames officially start with an uppercase character--this is a limitation of the software. To display with a lowercase initial character, just add the {{lowercase title}} template to the top of the article.

As for the first part: Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not a business directory. It is not LinkedIn. Companies have to meet a certain standard of notability before an article can be created for them here. Furthermore, as an encyclopedia, articles need to maintain a neutral point of view. For that reason, we strongly discourage people from writing about companies with which they are associated, for conflict of interest reasons. As for the EFront page, I'd rate it as hardly a shining example of what we look for in an article, but there's a lot of articles out there which are in need of attention.

Short answer: No, you can't have a page for your company here, and if in fact your company were notable enough for an article, you shouldn't be the one to write it. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, and have a good day. --Finngall ^talk 23:53, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your username

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "ILEVEL Solutions", may not comply with our username policy. Please note that you may not use a username that represents the name of a company, group, organization, product, or website. Examples of usernames that are not allowed include "XYZ Company", "MyWidgetsUSA.com", and "Trammel Museum of Art". However, you are invited to use a username that contains such a name if it identifies you personally, such as "Mark at WidgetsUSA", "Jack Smith at the XY Foundation", and "WidgetFan87".

Please also note that Wikipedia does not allow accounts to be shared by multiple people, and that you may not advocate for or promote any company, group, organization, product, or website, regardless of your username. Moreover, I recommend that you read our conflict of interest guideline. If you are a single individual and are willing to contribute to Wikipedia in an unbiased manner, please create a new account or request a username change that complies with our username policy. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. Thank you. —teb728 t c 18:42, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because it appears to be mainly intended for publicity and/or promotional purposes. If you intend to edit constructively in other topic areas, you may be granted the right to continue under a change of username. 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, website 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, although if you can demonstrate a pattern of future editing in strict accordance with our neutral point of view policy, you may be granted this right. See Wikipedia's FAQ for 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, organization, or clients. If this does not fit in with your goals, then you will not be allowed to edit Wikipedia again.

What can I do now?

If you have no interest in writing about some other topic than your organization, group, company, or product, you may consider using one of the many websites that allow this instead.

If you do intend to make useful contributions here 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-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, you may appeal this block by adding the text {{unblock|Your reason here}} below, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:26, 24 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
