Welcome![edit]

Hello, Bluehilldata, 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 Draft:Blue Hill Data Services, 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.

New to Wikipedia? Please consider taking a look at our introductory tutorial or reviewing the contributing to Wikipedia page to learn the basics about editing. Below are a few other good pages about article creation.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, ask me on my talk page. You can also type ((help me)) on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of Draft:Blue Hill Data Services[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 Draft:Blue Hill Data Services, 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.

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.

June 2023[edit]


Hello, Bluehilldata. Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia. The page Draft:Blue Hill Data Services has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seemed to be unambiguous advertising which only promoted a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to have been fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

This article needs to be rewritten from scratch from reliable, third party sources unconnected to the subject. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. It is not an outlet for promotion, advocacy, or advertising.

Information on content and common pitfalls to avoid can be located here and here, however be aware that this is not an exhaustive list. Pages can sometimes avoid these pitfalls and still be seen as an ad copy or unambiguously promotional, particularly if the editor appears to be a paid editor or has some other conflict of interest. Please review these policies, including the FAQ page on organizations to determine if this applies to you.

Common mistakes or beliefs about promotional editing center on the assumption that promotional editing only applies to promotion for commercial gain. Some tags or G11 nominations are met with confusion by creators, particularly if they spend much time reading or creating corporate documents, mission/vision statements, or similar copy for their organization. The frequent exposure to promotional tone may make it difficult to notice non-neutral phrases or styles, as the editor has grown accustomed to seeing it as everyday writing or speech. This can be difficult, but not impossible, to unlearn.

Another common assumption is that the prohibition against promotional editing applies only to businesses or organizations. Anything can be promoted, including a person, a non-commercial organization, a point of view, etc. and CV/resumé's are by their nature promotional.

Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources that are unconnected with the subject and providing verifiable information. That generally means someone unconnected with the subject needs to have written a great deal about the subject. Please see this page on citing sources and Wikipedia:Common sourcing mistakes (notability). This page has templates you can use in citing your sources. Place the template ((Reflist)) at the bottom of the page, and references cited in the text will appear there. New article creation can be difficult, but the Article Wizard can help you. The new user tutorial can help you avoid future problems. You can also ask for help at the TEAHOUSE and on IRC chat, as well as Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Adventure is a useful tutorial.

New article creation can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes it is better to first gain experience by fixing and helping maintain existing articles. Wikipedia:Community portal/Opentask contains links to things that badly need doing, if you are so inclined. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your account has been indefinitely blocked from editing because of the following problems: the account has been used for advertising or promotion, which is contrary to the purpose of Wikipedia, and your username indicates that the account represents a business, organisation, group, or web site, which is against the username policy.

You may request a change of username and unblock if you intend to make useful contributions instead of promoting your business or organization. To do this, first search Special:CentralAuth for available usernames that comply with the username policy. Once you have found an acceptable username, post the text ((unblock-spamun|Your proposed new username|Your reason here)) at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your proposed new username" with your new username and replace the text "Your reason here" with your reasons to be unblocked. In your reasons, you must:

Appeals: If, after reviewing the guide to appealing blocks, you believe this block was made in error, you may appeal it by adding the text ((unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~)) at the bottom of your talk page. Replace the text "Your reason here" with the reasons you believe the block was an error, and publish the page. -- Deepfriedokra (talk) 16:45, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You forgot to address your violations of WP:COI and WP:PROMO and forgot to tell us what you plan to write about instead. Yamla (talk) 18:35, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
yes it is my fault. I wasn't trying to create the page for advertising or promotion. its sole intent is to give another avenue for people to learn about or company and the industry we are in. sorry for violating rules. I wont write about this again and will follow the rules. Bluehilldata (talk) 19:08, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
You are free to make a new unblock request. You need to demonstrate you understand why your edits were inappropriate and tell us what you plan to write about instead. I'll also note your content was blatantly promotional, completely inappropriate for Wikipedia. You weren't just trying to give people another avenue, you were blatantly promoting the company. You'll need to demonstrate you clearly comprehend this, otherwise you won't be trusted to write about other subject areas. --Yamla (talk) 19:11, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ok thanks for the info i will explain further in the next unblock request. Bluehilldata (talk) 19:28, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

wasn't intended for advertising or promotional views. this text clearly states some simple informational aspects of the company. but if this a problem than I will not write about this topic again. I will also carefully read the rule of Wikipedia.Bluehilldata (talk) 19:32, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Decline reason:

This doesn't tell us what you plan to edit about instead. 331dot (talk) 19:37, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

When you make a new unblock request, do not use the Reply function to do so as it introduces formatting issues, instead open the edit window. 331dot (talk) 19:37, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know what I'm going to edit next. cant I have time to think about it. I would just like to be unblocked so I can edit in to future. Bluehilldata (talk) 19:40, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Once you have decided, feel free to make a new unblock request. Please, not beforehand. --Yamla (talk) 19:40, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
ok im going to look into sharks and see if i can help edit that. Bluehilldata (talk) 19:42, 16 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

didn't realize I was violating rule. wont happen again. I would like my IP address unblocked to help edit some other pages like sharks/animals. Bluehilldata (talk) 14:24, 19 June 2023 (UTC)

Decline reason:

Procedural decline only. This unblock request has been open for more than two weeks but has not proven sufficient for any reviewing administrator to take action. You are welcome to request a new block review if you substantially reword your request. To be unblocked, you must convince the reviewing administrator(s) that
  • the block is not necessary to prevent damage or disruption to Wikipedia, or
  • the block is no longer necessary because you
    1. understand what you have been blocked for,
    2. will not continue to cause damage or disruption, and
    3. will make useful contributions instead.
Please read the guide to appealing blocks for more information. Voice of Clam (talk) 19:21, 19 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bluehilldata, please respond to the questions below to help admin determine if you understand Wikipedia policies and guidelines:

  1. At Wikipedia, who is considered to have a conflict of interest? What should editors do if they have a conflict of interest with an article topic? (WP:COI and WP:COIE have information about this).
  2. How can editors write information that is not considered promotional? (WP:NOTPROMO has information).

An administrator will evaluate this request once the above are addressed. Z1720 (talk) 16:59, 23 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
